Marilyn Monroe by Andre De Dienes, 1949.

I could have loved you once
and even said it
But you went away,
When you came back it was too late
And love was a forgotten word.
Remember? ~ Marilyn Monroe

It was still early on that evening of the 17th of November, 1961, as my watch ticked off the seconds and I waited for her to arrive. My nerves were on a razor’s edge. Imagine me waiting for….. Marilyn. ~ Douglas Kirkland

Marilyn Monroe reading Ulysses by James Joyce.  Photographed in 1955 by Eve Arnold.

She kept ‘Ulysses’ in her car and had been reading it for a long time. She said she loved the sound of it and would read it aloud to herself to try to make sense of it–but she found it hard going. She couldn’t read it consecutively. When we stopped at a local playground to photograph she got out the book and started to read while I loaded the film. So, of course, I photographed her. ~ Eve Arnold.
