To this day, she remains the most alluring, charismatic, and idolised movie star of all time.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn November 17, 1961, a twenty-seven-year-old Douglas Kirkland had the chance to capture Monroe's beauty and charm in an iconic sequence of portraits. In the intimacy of an unmade bed, \u003ci\u003eMarilyn. A Magical Dance\u003c\/i\u003e presents a series of some of the most spontaneous and enchanting photographs ever taken of Marilyn Monroe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor Douglas Kirkland, every photo shoot was a dance: a magical and unrepeatable moment, a waltz between the photographer and his subject. This idea of dance becomes the guiding thread of the new volume, conceived as a leporello — featuring continuous pages folded in a concertina style. The portfolio of images, accompanied by Douglas Kirkland's handwritten words, unfolds without interruption, transforming the act of reading into an immersive and almost choreographic visual experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePage after page, the book draws the reader into the story of a brief and seductive encounter between a young photographer and the most iconic and desired woman in Hollywood history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Thames and Hudson (Australia) Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48347760263404,"sku":"9788862088695","price":110.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9788862088695-marilyn-a-magical-dance-1.jpg?v=1789189479","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/marilyn-a-magical-dance-9788862088695","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
