Description - Quatrième de couverture: Soixante ans après sa disparition, Marilyn Monroe, icône culturelle, demeure une énigme à bien des égards. Comment démêler le vrai du faux quand tant de choses ont déjà été dites, écrites et montrées ? Comment répondre à la multitude de questions encore non élucidées ?
Pour comprendre qui était la femme cachée derrière la star, Ian Ayres s’est attaché à retrouver de nombreux témoins, dont ceux ayant assisté à l’ascension et à la métamorphose de Norma Jeane en Marilyn Monroe.
Les confessions de ses proches (sa soeur d’adoption Nancy Bolender-Jeffrey ; Gladys Wilson et Bob Stott, ses amis du lycée ; William Carroll, le premier photographe à l’avoir rémunérée…) éclairent son incroyable parcours. Les récits précieux de personnalités aujourd’hui décédées (Jerry Lewis, Tony Curtis, le patron de presse Hugh Hefner ou le producteur Stanley Rubin) complètent cet ouvrage bouleversant, illustré de photographies intimes et pour certaines inédites.
Le livre est préfacé par l’actrice Elsa Zylberstein, grande admiratrice de Marilyn.

Description - par l'éditeur: 2021 célébrera le centenaire de la naissance d’Yves Montand, et le trentième anniversaire de sa disparition.
Par son parcours et sa personnalité, il incarne une image de la France. Immigré italien, arrivé à Marseille au début des années 1920, Montand partira de rien pour devenir une personnalité majeure du xxe siècle.
Artiste de music-hall complet, révélé au public par la chanson, Montand va assouvir ses rêves d’enfant en devenant l’un des acteurs les plus populaires du cinéma français et une star mondiale de la chanson. Capable de passer avec aisance de L’Aveuà La Folie des Grandeurs, du Cercle rouge à César et Rosalie ; au fait de sa gloire sur un grand écran, Montand n’abandonnera pas pour autant la chanson et restera l’un des rares interprètes à se produire dans des salles combles, que ce soit en France ou au Brésil, au Japon ou aux États-Unis. Au cinéma ou à travers les textes de ses chansons, il n’aura de cesse de passer d’un registre à un autre, avec toujours la même passion.
Un destin hors du commun pour une personnalité hors norme. Sa réussite est le fruit d’un labeur méticuleux et l’exploitation de ses propres inquiétudes : bien faire et faire que l’autre soit bien. Yves Montand ne peut rester silencieux et impassible face aux changements qui s’opèrent dans le monde. Il ne cessera de s’interroger et d’interroger afin de savoir ce qui est le mieux.
C’est l’histoire d’Ivo Livi, devenu Yves Montand, que nous racontent Carole Amiel et Luc Larriba. On entendra bien sûr la voix de Montand et de nombreux témoignages de personnalités l’ayant connu ou ayant travaillé avec lui : Jean-Loup Dabadie, Costa-Gavras, Jean-Paul Rappeneau, Philippe Labro, Bernard Kouchner, Line Renaud, Françoise Hardy, Mathilda May, Ludmila Mikaël, Patrick Bruel, Jean-Louis Livi (son neveu et agent), Antoine Duléry, Michel Jonasz, Michel Sardou…

Description - par l'éditeur: Discover the story of the pioneering hairstylist who obliterated the once-omnipresent hat and transformed the fashion industry through his A-list clients at his iconic 54th Street Salon. Kenneth Battelle, known simply as “Kenneth,” started his 50-year career in the early 1950s in New York City and built a loyal client list who swore by his skills, including Jacqueline Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Princess Margaret, Diana Vreeland, Lucille Ball, and Gloria Vanderbilt. This biography not only celebrates his extraordinary talent but examines his behind-the-scenes life and career struggles, including the disastrous fire that destroyed his salon, and his perseverance moving forward. Through personal memories of those closest to him, including friends, clients, and former employees, the man who created a cult of classic, timeless ladies comes to life. Photos (some never before published), notes, clippings, and original Joe Eula illustrations richly exhibit both his myriad achievements and America’s 20th-century high-fashion scene.

Présentation de l'éditeur:
C’est bien simple, quand vous regardez les photos des plus grandes stars du xx e siècle, il y a une chance sur deux que le cliché soit signé Philippe Halsman ! C’est ce photographe de légende que nous avons choisi pour incarner notre nouvelle formule, lui qui a inventé la « Jumpology », fixant pour l’éternité dans leur élan vital les stars d’Hollywood et les grandes figures de la planète. Marilyn, Dali, Gide, Bardot, Montand, Fernandel, Einstein… Le photographe de Magnum Photos et star de LIFE magazine dévoilait la personnalité cachée de ses sujets dans des mises en scènes complexes et joyeuses.
Avec aussi les contributions inédites de Michel Hazanavicius, Philippe Labro, Sonia Devillers, Pierre Haski et Willis From Tunis !
* Contient un portfolio découpé en thèmes:
- "Halsman Boulevard" contient de sublimes portraits de Grace Kelly, Yves Montand, Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart, Peter Sellers, Audrey Hepburn, Woody Allen et quelques autres.
- "Deux Drôles d'Oiseau" est consacré à Alfred Hitchcock (son film "Les Oiseaux" et des clichés plus personnels du réalisateur).
- "L'Histoire Pile et Face" nous plonge dans les portraits des grandes personnalités de notre XXème siècle: Winston Churchill, Eisenhower, Nixon, Einstein, Mohamed Ali.
- "Sauter de Joie" compile quelques photos de la "jumpologie" du photographe qui demandait à ses sujets de sauter en l'air: Anthony Perkins, Dean Martin et Jerry Lewis, Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hepburn, Jean Seberg, Jacques Tati, le Duc et la Duchesse de Windsor...
- "Belles Lettres" nous fait découvrir quelques écrivains célèbres: Cocteau, Sartre, Malraux, Steinbeck, Prévert, Nabokov.
- "L'Ami Dali" se concentre entièrement sur le fantasque peintre.
- "The Frenchman" qui décrypte une interview en photos de Fernandel.
- "Marilyn, le grand saut" revient en 12 pages sur quelques portraits emblématiques de la star.
* une biographie du photographe "Philippe Halsman, le révélateur"
> Visuel pages consacrées à Marilyn
Mon Avis en Bref... 08/10
Les Hors-Série de Reporters Sans Frontières sont, comme à leur habitude, de très beaux ouvrages (mi livre, mi magazine). Et en plus, si vous l'achetez, vous faites une bonne action puisque les bénéfices sont reversés à RSF dont l'action menée depuis des décennies est de défendre "la liberté de la presse" à travers le monde.
Concernant ce numéro consacré au photographe Halsman, il contient de jolis portraits qui exprime l'oeuvre photographique et l'état d'esprit frivole du photographe. Ne l'achetez pas uniquement pour Marilyn, vous en serez déçu, car nous ne retrouvons pas la publication des photographies comme celles en "déshabillé" prises en 1952 qui résume pourtant parfaitement ce qu'était Marilyn (glamour et naïvement sexy), ou encore les trop rares portraits de 1954 où elle porte une longue jupe style bohémienne (et où elle fait plusieurs grimaces, tel Fernandel qui est présenté dans le livre), ou encore l'absence des premiers portraits de Marilyn pris par Halsman pour le magazine Life en 1949 (avec l'étude des émotions photographiées).
Ce qui manque le plus dans ce livre sont l'absence de détails sur les coulisses des séances. Et aussi... Elizabeth Taylor, dont Halsman a pris certains portraits pourtant très célèbres (ceux où elle porte une robe couleur argent).

L'un des plus beaux livres de Marilyn qui ait été édité ! Il s'ouvre sur une biographie illustrée d'une vingtaine de pages, puis se poursuit par la vie de Marilyn détaillée en images: de nombreuses photos (dont certaines rarement publiées dans des ouvrages), jalonnent le livre, dans l'ordre chronologique et contextualisée. Dans ce livre, on y retrouve juste des faits illustrés (pas d'erreurs relevés sur les dates et noms de photographes).
Je recommande ce livre autant pour les fans que pour ceux qui veulent découvrir Marilyn; cet ouvrage vous permettra de vous immerger totalement dans sa vie.

Twiggy Le visage des années soixante
Diana Spencer La princesse glamour
/!/ Il s'agirait de la reédition du livre Et la femme créa le style Les dix muses qui ont tranformé l'univers féminin (sorti en 2010 aux éditions White Star).
Mon Avis en Bref... 08/10
Beau livre de collection contenant de superbes photographies pleines pages de haute qualité sur les plus belles femmes du XXème siècle qui ont marqué l'Histoire de la culture. Pour chacune d'entre elles: une rapide biographie, un décryptage suscint de leur style et quelques citations. Le livre contient 30 pages sur Marilyn Monroe (dont 18 photographies grands format en noir et blanc).
