Description
Before Marilyn tells the story of Marilyn Monroe's modelling career with the famous Blue Book Agency in Hollywood. In 2012, the agency's archive was discovered by Astrid Franse, which has now been explored alongside rare photographs and correspondence.
The archive reveals a previously unseen aspect of Monroe's life, charting every modelling job she did alongside these rare images. With bestselling biographer Michelle Morgan, Franse draws on this collection of never-before-seen documents to create a new understanding of the young model and her mentor.
