‘If I’d had a therapist, do you think any of this would have happened?’: Pamela Anderson on being chewed up and spat out by fame

extracts on Marilyn Monroe-
She went from small-town Canada to becoming the Marilyn Monroe of the 90s – bearing the brunt of that decade’s cruel misogyny in the process. Finally the Baywatch star is ready to tell her own story
by Charlotte Edwardes

(...)  The hair is instantly recognisable (“Scandinavian Blonde $5 box”), though a little warmer than the lightning flash of Baywatch days. The voice has the soft buoyancy of Marilyn Monroe – who she references in our photoshoot – and there’s that toughness, undercut with wit and a mischievous vulnerability that reminds me somehow of Dolly Parton. The forerunners for her Baywatch look were Brigitte Bardot, Jayne Mansfield, Jean Harlow; it’s the male fantasy prototype that stretches back to Botticelli’s Venus, with her prodigious hair, pert boobs and oyster shell. Anderson took the cat’s eyes, pencil brows and the Marie Antionette hair-stack and gave it some extra fire: something ravenous, uncut and peculiarly 1990s. Her story is about love addiction, sure, but also of living on the frontline of that era. (...)


 "Si j'avais eu un thérapeute, pensez-vous que tout cela serait arrivé?": Pamela Anderson sur le fait d'avoir été mâchée et recrachée par la célébrité 

extraits sur Marilyn Monroe -
Elle est partie d'une petite ville du Canada pour devenir la Marilyn Monroe des années 90 - portant le poids de la misogynie cruelle de cette décennie pendant son processus. Enfin, la star d'Alerte à Malibu est prête à raconter sa propre histoire
par Charlotte Edwardes

(...) Les cheveux sont immédiatement reconnaissables («Blond Scandinave 5 Dollars la boîte»), bien qu'un peu plus chauds que l'éclair des jours d'Alerte à Malibu. La voix a la douce flottabilité de Marilyn Monroe – à qui elle fait référence dans notre séance photo – et il y a cette ténacité, sapée d'esprit et une vulnérabilité espiègle qui me rappelle en quelque sorte Dolly Parton. Les précurseurs de son look Alerte à Malibu étaient Brigitte Bardot, Jayne Mansfield, Jean Harlow; c'est le prototype de la fantaisie masculine qui remonte à la Vénus de Botticelli, avec ses cheveux prodigieux, ses seins coquins et sa coquille d'huître. Anderson a pris les yeux du chat, les sourcils au crayon et la pile de cheveux de Marie Antoinette et lui a donné un peu plus de feu : quelque chose de vorace, non coupé et particuliers aux années 1990. Son histoire parle de la dépendance à l'amour, bien sûr, mais aussi de la vie en première ligne de cette époque. (...)

Lot 437: MARILYN MONROE: RECEIVED GET-WELL CARD FROM HER FATHER STANLEY C. GIFFORD
From the Personal Files of Marilyn Monroe: A get-well greeting card from Marilyn Monroe's father, Stanley C. Gifford, no transmittal envelope. This undated card is addressed to Monroe in Gifford's hand. Gifford has misspelled her name as "Marylyn." The card reads, "This cheery little get-well note comes specially to say that lots of thoughts and wishes, too, are with you every day," with the words "a little prayer too," having been added by Gifford. The card is then signed in Giffords hand, "Stanley Gifford, Red Rock Dairy Farm, Hemet, Calif.
In the book, My Sister Marilyn, A Memoir of Marilyn Monroe by Berniece Baker Miracle (Marilyn's half-sister) and Mona Rae Miracle (Berniece's daughter), Berniece writes on page 176 that Monroe confided to her that Gifford had visited her when she was in the hospital on an undisclosed date. Berniece recalls Monroe telling her that "The first time I saw my father, I was lying flat on my back in the hospital. I looked at him and I studied his face and features, and I saw that mother had told me the truth, that he was my father." Considering the fact that this is a get-well card, coupled with the fact Monroe stated to her half-sister Berniece that she first met her father when she was hospitalized, Gifford himself clearly hand delivered this card to Monroe when he visited her during one of her hospital stays. Given the fact that they ostensibly had no relationship prior to this one and only known meeting, it is highly unlikely that Gifford traveled across the country from his home in Hemet, CA to visit Monroe during one of her NYC hospital stays. Based upon all available information, the visit most likely occurred during one of her many hospitalizations in Los Angeles.
It has been widely reported that Monroe unsuccessfully attempted to contact her father by telephone many times over the years. Monroe persisted visiting the town of Hemet, California in an attempt to locate him which is confirmed by numerous locals reporting Marilyn Monroe Spottings in Hemet. It is believed that Gifford did not want to upset his wife and children by allowing Monroe to be part of his life.
This card is the only known material artifact that establishes any connection or communication between Gifford and his famous daughter. Monroe's mother Gladys dated Gifford in 1925, he was at the time her supervisor at RKO pictures. While working for him as a film negative cutter, Gladys became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter on June 1, 1926. Norma Jeane was Gladys third child. Although Gladys registered the surname Mortenson on Norma Jeane's birth certificate, using the name of her ex-husband instead of Gifford, it has been assumed for decades that Gifford was actually Marilyn Monroe's father.
Gifford was finally definitively proven to be Monroe's father through DNA testing in 2022. Although this card includes no warm salutation from the man that was indeed her father, it further complicates our understanding of the relationship, or what was believed to be the complete absence of a relationship with arguably the most important male figure in Monroe's life. Previous scholarship recounts Monroe's attempts to contact her father resulting in only bitter rejection and a broken heart, yet this card supports Berniece Miracles first-hand account and it is proof that he reached out to her in a time of need.

Davis appears on-screen with Marilyn Monroe, in a breakthrough performance, wearing the gown. Head won the Oscar for Best Costume Design, Black-and-White for this Oscar winning Best Picture; Davis was nominated for Best Actress. The sketch is faintly penciled "for Bette Davis" to the right side, and initialed, possibly by Mankiewicz, near the right bottom hem.

Lot 258: MARILYN MONROE: MEDICAL FILE
A medical file pertaining to cosmetic surgery performed on Marilyn Monroe. The file includes facial X-rays and doctors' notes from the office of Dr. Michael Gurdin, M.D., and the X-ray office of Drs. Conti and Steinberg. Dr. Gurdin's chart on Monroe begins on July 14, 1958, and lists the patient as Marilyn Miller with addresses in New York and Los Angeles.
The chief complaint listed is "chin deformity" and goes on to give a medical history that begins in 1950 and ends in 1962. Listed are a 1956 bout of neutropenia in England; 1957 ectopic pregnancy in New York; and 1950 cartilage implant in chin that the doctor observed had slowly begun to dissolve. Those with knowledge of the implant procedure have explained that this was done in association with a tip rhinoplasty, a procedure involving the tip of Monroe's nose only, not the bones.
The last entry is dated June 7, 1962, and reports a fall at between 2 and 3 a.m. resulting in swelling and tenderness of the nose. Monroe was brought to Dr. Gurdin by her psychoanalyst, Dr. Ralph Greenson. Monroe was referred to Drs. Conti and Steinberg for X-rays. For her visit to the radiologists she was given the alias "Miss Joan Newman," and that name appears on the paperwork with Monroe's Brentwood home address.
Six X-rays are in the folder: a frontal facial bones X-ray; a smaller X-ray that is a composite of the right and left sides of her nasal bones; and four small dental X-rays into the roof of Monroe's mouth, looking upward toward the nasal bones. The conclusion, written by Dr. Conti and dated June 7, 1962, is that there was no damage to Monroe's nose due to her fall. A more recent evaluation of the X-rays indicates a very minute hairline fracture of this bone. Monroe had turned 36 less than a week earlier. On June 8, the following day, Monroe was fired from the film Something's Got to Give (20th Century Fox, 1962). 9 x 12 inches

Lot 259: MARILYN MONROE: RECEIVED AND SENT LETTERS
From the Personal Files of Marilyn Monroe: Four letters received by the star on various topics. Two letters with dates in 1952 and 1953 are from an aspiring songwriter and singer by the name of Mrs. John H. Spurgeon. Another letter is from Harold Mirisch dated May 7, 1959. Another letter on letterhead from The First Baptist Church dated December 4, 1958 is from a man named Bill Lennon, requesting Marilyn's permission to write to the TV show "What's My Line?" and list his occupation as secretary to Marilyn Monroe. Included is a very direct letter to Lennon in response, reading in part, "Miss Monroe would not under any circumstances permit the use of her name in any misrepresentation." Also included, a carbon-copy of a letter addressed to "John" dated February 1, 1960 (likely designer John Moore) asking if he'd been advised by the Railway Express Company about a message left at the Beverly Hills Hotel for Marilyn that read, "The dress you expected from Talmack was destroyed in a plane fire." Handwritten annotations on the letter list a "Mr. Clemens, Head of Air Department," and a phone number for the claims department, not in Monroe's handwriting. Overall a very interesting look at the types of issues Monroe dealt with on a daily basis.

From the personal files of Marilyn Monroe: A one-page typed letter from Ruth Edens, apparently an acquaintance of Monroe's from her childhood, dated August 24, 1954, and reading in part, "I have long intended to write you this letter because I have particularly wanted to say that when you used to visit me at my Balboa Island cottage, you were a shy and charming child whose appeal, it seems to me, must have reached the hearts of many people. I could never seem to get you to say much to me, but I loved having you come in and I missed your doing so after you'd gone away. I wondered about you many times and was delighted when I discovered you in the films. I hope the stories in the magazines which say you felt yourself unloved throughout your childhood, are merely press-agentry. In any case, I want you to know that I, for one, was truly fond of you and I'm proud of you for having developed enough grit to struggle through to success." The letter also states, "I hope you are getting much happiness out of life, little Marian [sic]. I saw so much that was ethereal in you when you were a little girl that I fell sure you are not blind to life's spiritual side. May all that is good and best come your way!? The letter is signed "Sincerely, Ruth Edens." 9 x 11 inches

Lot 288: MARILYN MONROE: ARTHUR MILLER HANDWRITTEN BOOK DEDICATION
A single piece of lined paper torn from a spiral-bound notebook, heavily stained, containing a notation in Miller's hand reading "This book is being written out of the courage, the widened view of life, the awareness of love and beauty, given to me by my love, my wife-to-be, my Marilyn. I bless her for this gift, and I write it so that she may have from me the only unique thing I know how to make. I bless her, I owe her the discovery of my soul."
Although the note is undated, Miller refers to Marilyn Monroe as his wife to be, indicating that it was written prior to their marriage on June 29, 1956. Although this dedication did not appear in any of Miller's books it was possibly intended to be used in A View from the Bridge, which Miller was rewriting as a two-act play during his courtship with Monroe. Because Miller was not officially divorced until June 1956, it is possible that the dedication was not used due to timing. 8.5 x 11 inches

The script, marked final, also dated March 29, 1962, contains notations in Monroe's hand throughout in pencil and green ink on 18 pages. Some of the notations are from Monroe's work with a Swedish dialect coach.
In addition to these notations, two typed pages of Monroe's dialogue are bound between pages 107 and 108 of the mimeographed script. These two pages contain Monroe's dialogue from one of the few scenes captured on film, with her extensive pencil notations. Raw footage of Monroe performing with Tippy the cocker spaniel and the children in this scene exists, and Monroe's notations are evident in the footage. The top of the page reads "Real Thought/ Mental Relaxation/ substitute children - B & J if necessary/ feeling - place the pain where it is not in the brow." B & J likely refers to Arthur Miller's children Bobby and Jane. Another notation next to one of Monroe's lines of dialogue reads simply "Mona Lisa," which does in fact mirror the expression she uses when delivering this line. Even the exaggerated "Ahhhhh---" that Monroe does at the beginning of each take in the raw footage is written on the page in her hand, reading in full, "Ahhh--Look for the light.?
The notations throughout the script also include notes in an unidentified hand criticizing certain points of the story, including "Too Harsh," "Naggy," "Dull" and many other comments. Overall, the notations in both the script and on the dialogue pages used by Monroe to film the scene with the children and Tippy the dog tell the story of a tedious script writing and editing process. Her dialogue notations are a revealing window into her process in performing some of the last scenes she ever recorded on film. 9.5 x 12 x 1 inches

Lot 451: MARILYN MONROE: DOG-RELATED POSTHUMOUS CORRESPONDENCE
An undated typed letter from Mrs. Edward Herdan of Los Angeles that reads:
"To whom it may concern: I was greatly taken aback when I saw the pet of Marilyn's in a picture with her. We were forced to put our pet to sleep on account of old age recently and she was a double of this little dog. We have been looking with grieving hearts for several months now, to find one that resembled our Shaggsy, but all in vain. If it were at all possible to get the dog we could give it an excellent home. Dr. Christenson of the Hollywood Cat and Dog Hospital was our Vet for fourteen years. Hope this request receives some consideration. Sincerely, Mrs. Ed Herdan."
Included is a copy of a letter from Inez Melson, Monroe's former business manager, dated September 4, 1962, reading:
"Dear Mrs. Herdan, I hope you will understand that I have not answered your kind letter about "Moff" before this because of the pressure of matters involving the affairs of Marilyn. I know how you must feel about your little "Shaggsy" and it would be wonderful if it were possible to send "Moff" to live with you. However, you will understand that her sister's dearest wish is to have him and I hope in due time to be able to send him to live with her. Unfortunately, in due process of law, even little "Moff" is a part of Marilyn's personal effects and thus, he has to wait. It grieves me greatly to refuse so many kind people and I only wish that I could grant the desire of each good person who would love "Moff" as his mistress loved him." The letter is signed, "Sincerely yours, Inez Melson, Administratrix of the Estate of Marilyn Monroe."
Frank Sinatra gifted the dog to Monroe in 1961. She named him Maf as a comic reference to Sinatra's mafia connections. Interestingly, people within Monroe's inner circle appear to be unaware of the correct spelling of the dog's name. Written correspondence reflects use of the names "Maff" and "Moff."

Isabelle Adjani dans Elle - 19/05/2022

2022-05-19-ELLE-france Elle
n°3987

pays: France
semaine du 19 mai 2022
En couverture: Isabelle Adjani se met dans la peau de Marilyn Monroe façon "Last Sitting" de Bert Stern

> sur le blog le magazine Elle - 19/05/2022


Isabelle Adjani : « À Cannes, on vous place entre blondasses et bombasses »
> en ligne sur  elle.fr

Sur scène, elle dialogue avec Marilyn, à Cannes, elle défendra les films de François Ozon et de Nicolas Bedos. Et, comme à chaque fois, Isabelle Adjani se réinvente jusqu’au vertige. Pour nous, elle rejoue la mythique séance photo signée Bert Stern, en 1962, et se confie le temps d’une rencontre, forcément intense. 

Il y a des rencontres qui tiennent de la magie, des correspondances secrètes… Quand Isabelle Adjani rend hommage à Marilyn Monroe en une de ELLE, l’alchimie est si forte, si évidente, si naturelle qu’aucune retouche n’est nécessaire. Comme si deux copines se retrouvaient en cachette. Isabelle et Norma Jeane, c’est une longue histoire de mots croisés que la première évoque dans un extraordinaire seule en scène, en tournée cet été : « Le Vertige Marilyn ». Mais avant cela, il y a Cannes, le Festival, un autre vertige. Et deux films très différents : celui de François Ozon, « Peter von Kant », hommage à Fassbinder. Et celui de Nicolas Bedos, « Mascarade », « un collier de petits cauchemars de jeunesse », comme il aime à le définir. Dans chacun, Isabelle se joue du cliché de la diva divine et dévorante… et gagne ! Car Isabelle déjoue, aussi. Avec le même sérieux, ce désir de bien faire, ce côté « bon petit soldat » que l’on prêtait à Marilyn, elle répond d’abord à une première salve de questions par mail. Puis, une fois ce travail méticuleux accompli, tard dans la nuit, elle propose de nous retrouver pour un café. Casquette de gavroche, lunettes fumées, « crème » et croissant matinal à portée de main, elle est craquante (et insomniaque ?). 
Mélange d’impertinence nonchalante et de profondeur. Chaque phrase est une piste sur le chemin de la liberté. Et quand elle convoque Cocteau pour parler de femme « interrompue », la formule nous reste longtemps en tête. Adjani est une cérébrale, on ne se refait pas, aimantée par une bonne étoile.

Elle – Vous posez pour nous en Marilyn Monroe: pourquoi ce choix et qu'est-ce qui vous rassemble, toutes les deux ?
Isabelle Adjani – Oh là, là ! Je ne pose pas en Marilyn Monroe, c'est Madonna ou Kim Kardashian qui prennent la pose, non ? [Rires] Moi, je me pose là, en tendre admiratrice, à la veille de l'anniversaire des 60 ans de sa mort. Sur le tournage de "Tout feu tout flamme", de Jean-Paul Rappeneau, avant chaque scène, Yves Montand me serinait que je lui faisais penser à Marilyn ! J'étais très pudique et tout sauf peroxudée, alors je ne comprenais rien à ce qu'il voulait me dire. Je voyais qu'il était ému, mais à l'époque j'ai dû me raconter qu'il se servait de son "aura Marilyn" comme piège à filles ! [Rires] Plus tard, lors d'un shooting pour le magazine "Egoïste", le grand Richard Avedon m'avait mis à même le corps, sur les épaules, la veste en mouton retourné qui avait appartenu à Marilyn et dans laquelle il l'avait photographiée. Mon premier contact physique et mystique avec elle, c'était ça, presque peau à peau... Aujourd'hui, c'est cette longue robe Dior photographiée en 1962 par un autre grand, Bert Stern, et dont je porte la copie conforme à mon tour sur la scène du "Vertige Marilyn", texte d'Olivier Steiner, qui tient du dialogue rêvé entre elle et moi et du poème théâtral. Il imagine qu'il y a eu entre nous, au cours des années, des points de contact, comme des frôlements, des synchronicités, des chuchotements qui auraient fini par tracer un chemin invisible, un lien de sororité, dans mon existence. Et puis, Marilyn n'est jamais allée à Cannes, la Croisette n'a pas eu la chance d'avoir miss Monroe, alors quand ELLE m'a proposé cette série avec Jan Welters pour un spécial Cannes, on a tout de suite eu envie de ce clin d'oeil à l'inoubliable shooting culte de Bert Stern, et ainsi de l'emmener faire un tour au Festival, histoire aussi de me sentir moins seule.
 
Autre hommage à Marilyn sur ces photos, vous portez des bijoux en mode "Diamonds are a Girl's best friend"...
Oui, il s'agit de la marque Courbet, qui s'est donné pour mission de réinventer la joaillerie en respectant l'environnement. J'ai été touchée au coeur par leur procédé de création de diamants, en laboratoire de haute technologie, parce que ce sont de véritables diamants aux mêmes qualités précieuses de pureté et de transparence que ceux extraits des entraielles de la terre, de ces monstrueux cratères qui bousillent l'environnement. Marilyn aurait adoré les avoir comme amis, elle qui aimait la nature. C'est mon instinct.

Quand on pense à Marilyn Monroe, on pense star, sex-symbol, mais aussi solitude, failles de l'enfance, viol de l'intimité... Est-ce que cela vous parle ? Avez-vous parfois l'impression d'être une survivante, d'avoir survécu à ce métier ?
Chez toutes les actrices dont je me sens proche, les failes de l'enfance ont creusé un désir profond, un besoin vital d'être autre. Passer de survivante à "revivante", je crois que c'est ce qu'elles font, c'est ce que j'ai fait, c'est ce qu'a fait Norma Jeane en créant Marilyn Monroe. Les épreuves ne sont pas évitées, mais je crois, moi, en une étoile qui veille et qui permet d'avancer dans la nuit noire. Une étoile faite d'amour, d'esprit, de sang, du big bang de notre naissance. Et même morte, sa lumière continue de voyager et de nous parvenir.

Qu'est-ce qui l'a tuée, selon vous ?
Arthur Miller ? Les lavements aux barbituriques ? Robert Kennedy ? La mort ! Ce qui a tué Marilyn ? La mort. Pour vivre de tout son être, Marilyn elle-même a construit la légende qu'elle est devenue, puis, comme le disait Pasolini, elle s'est "abandonnée à son destin de mort".

Traduction de l'article et de l'interview - in english:

Isabelle Adjani: “In Cannes, you are placed between blondes and hotties”

On stage, she dialogues with Marilyn, in Cannes, she will defend the films of François Ozon and Nicolas Bedos. And, as always, Isabelle Adjani reinvents herself to the point of vertigo. For us, she replays the mythical photo shoot signed Bert Stern, in 1962, and confides in the time of a meeting, necessarily intense.

There are encounters that take on magic, secret correspondence… When Isabelle Adjani pays homage to Marilyn Monroe on cover of ELLE, the alchemy is so strong, so obvious, so natural that no photo editing is necessary. As if two girlfriends were meeting in secret. Isabelle and Norma Jeane, it's a long story of crosswords that the first evokes in an extraordinary single on stage, on tour this summer: "Le Vertige Marilyn". But before that, there is Cannes, the Festival, another vertigo. And two very different films: that of François Ozon, “Peter von Kant”, a tribute to Fassbinder. And that of Nicolas Bedos, "Mascarade", "a necklace of little nightmares of youth", as he likes to define it. In each, Isabelle plays with the cliché of the divine and devouring diva... and wins! Because Isabelle thwarts, too. With the same seriousness, this desire to do well, this "good little soldier" side that we attributed to Marilyn, she first answers a first round of questions by email. Then, once this meticulous work is done, late at night, she offers to meet us for a coffee. Newsboy cap, sunglasses, "cream" and a morning croissant at hand, she is adorable (and insomniac?).
Mixture of nonchalant impertinence and depth. Each sentence is a track on the way to freedom. And when she summons Cocteau to speak of an “interrupted” woman, the formula remains in our minds for a long time. Adjani is cerebral, you can't get over it, magnetized by a lucky star.

Elle – You pose for us as Marilyn Monroe: why this choice and what unites you two?
Isabelle Adjani – Oh dear! I'm not posing as Marilyn Monroe, it's Madonna or Kim Kardashian posing, right? [Laughs] I sit there, as a tender admirer, on the eve of the 60th anniversary of his death. On the set of Jean-Paul Rappeneau's "Tout feu tout flamme", before each scene, Yves Montand told me that I reminded him of Marilyn! I was very modest and anything but peroxide, so I didn't understand what he wanted to tell me. I could see that he was moved, but at the time I had to tell myself that he was using his "Marilyn aura" as a girl trap! [Laughs] Later, during a shoot for the magazine "Egoïste", the great Richard Avedon had put on my body, on my shoulders, the shearling jacket that had belonged to Marilyn and in which he had photographed her. My first physical and mystical contact with her was that, almost skin to skin... Today, it's this long Dior dress photographed in 1962 by another great, Bert Stern, and of which I'm wearing an exact copy my turn on the stage of "Vertige Marilyn", a text by Olivier Steiner, which is a dream dialogue between her and me and a theatrical poem. He imagines that there have been points of contact between us over the years, such as brushings, synchronicities, whispers that would have ended up tracing an invisible path, a bond of sisterhood, in my existence. And then, Marilyn never went to Cannes, the Croisette didn't have the chance to have Miss Monroe, so when ELLE offered me this series with Jan Welters for a Cannes special, we immediately had want this nod to Bert Stern's unforgettable cult shoot, and thus take him for a ride to the Festival, also to make me feel less alone.

Another tribute to Marilyn in these photos, you are wearing jewels in "Diamonds are a Girl's best friend" style...
Yes, it's the Courbet brand, which has made it its mission to reinvent jewelry while respecting the environment. I was touched to the heart by their process of creating diamonds, in a high-tech laboratory, because they are real diamonds with the same precious qualities of purity and transparency as those extracted from the entraielles of the earth, from these monstrous craters that mess up the environment. Marilyn would have loved to have them as friends, she who loved nature. It's my instinct.

When we think of Marilyn Monroe, we think of star, sex symbol, but also loneliness, childhood flaws, violation of intimacy... Does that speak to you? Do you sometimes feel like a survivor, of having survived to this job?
In all the actresses I feel close to, the faults of childhood have dug a deep desire, a vital need to be different. Going from survivor to "reviving", I think that's what they do, that's what I did, that's what Norma Jeane did by creating Marilyn Monroe. Trials are not avoided, but I believe in a star that keeps watch and allows us to move forward in the dark night. A star made of love, of spirit, of blood, of the big bang of our birth. And even dead, her light continues to travel and reach us.

What do you think killed her?
Arthur Miller? Barbiturate enemas? Robert Kennedy? The death ! What killed Marilyn? The death. To live with all her being, Marilyn herself built the legend she became, then, as Pasolini said, she "surrendered to her destiny of death".

Expo Divine Marilyn

 affiche-Marilyn-1-version-4-768x1086    Du 9 juillet au 22 septembre 2019, exposition Divine Marilyn à la Galerie Joseph de Paris. 

Pour la première fois en France, cette grande exposition sur 850m2 regroupera les trois plus grands noms de la photographie américaine : Sam Shaw, Milton Greene et Bert Stern - qui ont immortalisé Marilyn Monroe à différentes époques de sa vie au travers de près de 200 photos ou documents. 
Elle sera réalisée avec la collaboration de Meta et Edith Shaw, filles de Sam Shaw ; Joshua Greene, fils de Milton Greene, et Olivier Lorquin, Président de la Fondation Dina Vierny – Musée Maillol pour Bert Stern.

L’exposition visera à montrer à travers des clichés inédits que Marilyn était loin d’être la « Pin-up blonde » qu’elle prétendait être et qui lui avait servi de masque lors de chaque sortie publique, mais qu’elle était également une femme enjouée et vraie, loin de l’image à laquelle elle est souvent rattachée.
Marilyn a réussi à construire sa propre histoire et sa légende, au-delà de l’image emblématique que les industries de la publicité et du cinéma ont fait d’elle.


 Sam Shaw

expo-1-Marilyn-Monroe-et-Arthur-Miller-par-Sam-Shaw De 1952 à 1962, Sam Shaw capture un grand nombre de clichés de la vie privée de la pin-up, notamment son quotidien de jeune épouse auprès du dramaturge Arthur Miller, une période où elle semble comblée de bonheur.
50 photos respirant la simplicité seront exposées dans ce corner, mais aussi des clichés emblématiques, comme celui de Marilyn retenant l’envolée de sa robe blanche au-dessus d’une bouche de métro à New York, sur le tournage du film de Billy Wilder « Sept ans de réflexion ».
nb: Meta et Edith Shaw, filles de Sam Shaw, seront présentes au vernissage.


Milton Greene

expo-3-Marilyn-Monroe-en-ballerine-par-Milton-Greene-1  Un autre corner mettra en avant 50 photos du photographe Milton Greene. Des clichés iconiques qui ont fait le tour du monde comme ceux de la star en tenue de ballerine.
Grâce à son travail tout en finesse et en élégance, Milton Greene rappelle la capacité de cette femme aux mille visages à changer de personnage avec un naturel qui étonne.
nb: Joshua Greene, le fils de Milton sera présent au vernissage.


Bert Stern

expo-marilyn_monroe_bert_stern_estate_crucifixion_ii__1962_jpg_2926_north_640x640_transparent  Mondialement connu pour avoir été le dernier photographe à immortaliser Marilyn Monroe, Bert Stern sera également à l’honneur à travers l’exposition de douze tirages grands formats de la « dernière » séance photo de Marilyn qu’il réalise pour Vogue en 1962, quelques jours avant sa disparition. Une séance photos qui durera 3 jours pendant lesquels 2571 photos seront shootées.
Stern avait capturé une Marilyn sans fards, dans un moment de liberté et d’abandon mais c’est elle-même qui avait choisi les photos sur les planches contact avec le souci constant de contrôler son image.


Arty
Symbole de la culture Pop et du Street-Art, Marilyn est souvent revisitée sous d’autres formes. Collages, pochoirs et dessins, une quinzaine d’oeuvres d’artistes émergents y seront exposées.


Norma Jean avant Marilyn
L’exposition retracera également le parcours et la métamorphose de Norma Jeane Baker en Marilyn Monroe.
Un morphing photo depuis ses clichés de bébé jusqu’à cette jeune fille aux boucles brunes qui rêvait de devenir célèbre.
Elle avait très vite compris  que  si elle faisait un grand nombre de couvertures de magazine, elle deviendrait vite très populaire. La jeune femme multiplie donc les séances photos, que ce soit pour gagner sa vie comme avec ce calendrier de 1949 où elle apparaît nue, ou pour construire les premiers échelons de sa carrière. En posant devant une multitude de photographes, Marilyn Monroe voulait être regardée et aimée par le public, mais aussi remarqué par les studios de cinéma.


Marilyn pendant la guerre de Corée
Alors qu’elle était en voyage de noces en Japon avec son mari Joe DiMaggio, Marilyn s’est rendue en Corée pour divertir les soldats américains à la fin de la guerre de Corée en 1954. Un épisode méconnu de sa vie que les commissaires d’exposition ont pu recréer grâce à des films d’archives et des clichés réalisés par les quatre photographes officiels mais aussi par des photos prises par les soldats eux-mêmes.


Tournage de "Sept ans de réflexion"
Un corner consacré à l’histoire de la photo la plus célèbre et la plus sulfureuse du cinéma hollywoodien. Une scène culte qui élèvera Marilyn au rang des légendes mondiales, mais qui provoquera aussi son divorce avec Joe DiMaggio.


Et aussi...
Des clichés connus et moins connus, des affiches de film, couvertures de magazines et presse d’époque…
