Love Island bombshell Scott van-der-Sluis branded 'very jealous and possessive' by ex girlfriend's pal Scandalous: The Death of Marilyn Monroe premieres this Sunday, August 18th at 8PM/ET. Scandalous: The Death of Marilyn Monroe also includes interviews with biographers Keith Badman and Charles Casillo and features digitally re-mastered versions of original film reels of footage following the actress's death. Monroe's body was left unclaimed in the morgue for more than 24 hours - a fact also discussed in Fox News Channel's new three-part documentary series. It showed the actress with a white sheet up to her chin as her face appeared gaunt and drained of color. Meanwhile, a separate image of Monroe taken shortly after her death (which was not snapped by Leigh) stunned fans after it was leaked in the days following her passing. Given Marilyn Monroe's status as one of the most iconic personalities of the 20th Century, as well as the long-standing intrigue surrounding her death, the photos would undoubtedly sell for an enormous sum. 'He actually died with that mystery,' Devik states. Leigh passed away in 1993 without ever revealing the location of the photos. you can't get away from the visual similarities.Leigh - who was a famous freelance photographer for LIFE magazine - passed away in 1993 without ever revealing the location of his scandalous Monroe photos "The idea is different," Watson said of the combination of the Warhol with those of Grant and Nixon. Grant from the 1860s and the other a contact sheet of a youngish Richard Nixon striking several poses. Warhol's four-panel of an aging Lana Turner is alongside two other multipanel photos. No show about celebrity or fame would be complete without Warhol, whose fulfilling prophecy doesn't seem so implausible thanks to YouTube and reality television, said April Watson, associate curator.Īfter all, who today doesn't remember the photograph of Lindsay Lohan tippling from a champagne bottle on a night out after rehab release, or Britney Spears famously shaving her head? In that image, Monroe is seated at a store looking wan and aloof while admirers gawk at her from behind. But that photo is shown next to a lesser known shot of the star by Henri Cartier-Bresson.
There is also a vampy, familiar shot of Marilyn Monroe in a clinging white dress.
Bernhardt, one of the first celebrities to have photographers pay to take her photo, is shown in a silk suit that created something of a scandal in the 1890s because it was a little too tight and a little too masculine. "I sell the shadow to support the substance," is the refrain on the sepia-tinged shots of Truth.Īlso included is a photo of French actress Sarah Bernhardt, whom Aspinwall calls "Madonna-like" in her showmanship. Among the photographers are Edward Steichen, Annie Leibovitz and Irving Penn.Īrranged chronologically, the exhibit begins with baseball-card-size photos of Truth, who sold the photos of herself in the late 1800s to pay for her work helping freed slaves.
The show includes images - iconic and lesser known - of celebrities from a variety of fields: actors Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe and Meryl Streep, slugger Babe Ruth, artists Rene Magritte and Constantin Brancusi. The exhibit is made up of about 50 photographs from the Nelson-Atkins' private collection and highlights the strange journey famous people and their audiences embarked on more than a century ago. "In the Public Eye: Photography and Fame" is on display in the museum's new Bloch Building through June 15.
