Bruno Bernard immortalized Marilyn and her beauty for posterity in a stream of fascinating images throughout her brief and tragic career. Through the artistry of his photographs, Bruno Bernard shares with us his intimate, up close and personal view of the glamour and excitement of Hollywood's "Golden Age".
