'She had a total understanding and control of the still camera... she was intelligent enough and sharp enough and beautiful enough to be able to manipulate almost any situation, so it became something which was totally her own...' \n\nEve Arnold, one of the world's leading photo-journalists, remembers photographing Marilyn Monroe over the ten crucial years of Marilyn's stardom and decline. Going back to the original contact sheets and colour material, she tells of their friendship and what it was like as a woman to photograph Marilyn Monroe.
