| book description |

Marilyn Monroe would have turned 100 on June 1, 2026. To this day, she remains the most alluring, charismatic, and idolized movie star of all time. On November 17 1961, a twenty-seven-year-old Douglas Kirkland had the chance to capture Monroe's beauty and charm in an iconic sequence of portraits. In the intimacy of an unmade bed, Marilyn. A Magical Dance presents a series of some of the most spontaneous and enchanting photographs ever taken of Marilyn Monroe. For Douglas Kirkland, every photo shoot was a dance: a magical and unrepeatable moment, a waltz between the photographer and his subject. This idea of dance becomes the guiding thread of the new volume, conceived as a leporello - featuring continuous pages folded in a concertina style. The portfolio of images, accompanied by Douglas Kirklandâ€™s handwritten words, unfolds without interruption, transforming the act of reading into an immersive and almost choreographic visual experience. Page after page, the book draws the reader into the story of a brief and seductive encounter between a young photographer and the most iconic and desired woman in Hollywood history.
