Episode Details

Marilyn Monroe wasn’t just a star—she was a master strategist of her own image, and photographer Lawrence Schiller witnessed it firsthand in their final shoots before her death. Far from passive, she cut her own negatives, joked with razor-sharp wit, and weaponized fame to outshine rivals like Elizabeth Taylor. Schiller recalls her playful defiance, her hunger for headlines, and the electric energy she brought to every frame—even as shadows loomed. Their photos capture not just beauty, but a woman in command of her myth, her moment, and her legacy.
