Editorial Review:
Marilyn Monroe was one of the most photographed woman of the 20th century, but an enigmatic character who came to loathe the film business. This study contains many recently discovered photographs by Earl Leaf. They include those taken with Tony Curtis, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.
Marilyn Monroe: From Beginning to End Reviews:
The many moods of Marilyn 
2007-03-15 - A stunning book for any serious Marilyn afficianado - the photos, taken by little known paparazzi photographer Earl Leaf throughout Marilyn's career show so many of her moods, facets, expressions that it sometimes feels like you see her in an entirely new and unexpected light whenever you turn the page. Quite a few of the photographs show her lesser-known sides: her imperiousness, her toughness, her shrewdness, her ability to manipulate - all qualities she tried very hard to hide from her public but which nevertheless make her even more fascinating. Ventura's text gives some interesting insights and a uniquely lyrical point of view of Marilyn and what the images taken by Leaf's lens show of her. From her early starlet days to the years of her decline, we see her slowly eroding emotionally like an apparition fading into the light. Sometimes sad, often food for thought and always beautiful to look at, this is definitely one of the favourites in my collection. There are many images here you most likely have not seen before and will keep revisiting for many years to come.
Beautiful Book
