About The Book
In 2026, the world will celebrate what would have been Marilyn Monroe’s 100th birthday. In honor of her life, Marilyn Monroe 100 – the only authorized centenary book -- brings together the work of seventeen great photographers who worked most closely with her, from the Norma Jean years to the last photo shoot. In between are her golden years in print and in film: the shimmering dresses, her incandescent allure, and, from beginning to end, her love affair with the camera (and the cameras with her).
Marilyn Monroe 100 is the must-have commemorative book for Marilyn's millions of multi-generational and cross-cultural fans, for devotees of Hollywood’s Golden Age, and for fashionistas who prize her timeless appeal. As glamorous as the star herself, the book is large, with gilt edges and spot-gold printing inside. And all 275 photographs in this 348-page book are by the giants of 20th century photography from Cecil Beaton to Milton Greene, Henri Cartier-Bresson to Richard Avedon.
A century after her birth, Marilyn Monroe is as mesmeric now as she was in life. Marilyn Monroe 100 is the book to mark this once in a lifetime occasion.

Raves and Reviews
“…the only official photography-based publication to commemorate the centenary of Marilyn Monroe’s birth….it is the ultimate collector’s item…”
– The Hollywood Reporter
“I love when books go the extra mile to give detail. Look at the foldout! ... Isn’t that so great? I feel like if you’re a collector, this is one you should definitely look out for... The detail and the quality of these photos are really just amazing.”
– Instagram Influencer Jeri Mae
"Given the fact that Monroe’s personal library housed more than 400 titles, including novels by heavy hitters like Dostoevsky and Whitman, she would likely be happy to know that the 300-something-page release supports its glamorous visuals lensed by the 20th century’s top talents with famous quotes from the woman herself; an inside look into the photographers’ processes; plus a foreword by Christian Siriano and an introduction by The New Yorker’s staff writer Rachel Syme....As the embodiment of Hollywood’s Golden Age, Monroe continues to captivate the world, and her aura manages to shine through these pages — disarming you with that megawatt smile."
– Stacia Datskovska, Women's Wear Daily
