Marilyn Monroe: per la prima volta in Italia, la selezione più ampia mai  esposta di fotografie realizzate da Sam Shaw | Architectural Digest ItaliaMarilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926 – August 4, 1962) was an American actress and singer. She was known for her comedy characters. She was a famous sex symbol of the 1950s and 1960s. She had a relationship with Joan Crawford for a long time. One of her most famous affairs was with Elizabeth Taylor. In her 2012 book titled Marilyn: The Passion and the Paradox, author Louis Banner wrote that Monroe liked women and had many affairs with fellow female artists. “Monroe desired women, had affairs with them, and worried that she might be lesbian by nature,” wrote Banner. Marilyn allegedly had intimate relationships with Barbara Stanwyck, Marlene Dietrich, and two acting teachers Natasha Lytess and Paula Strasberg, apart from Taylor and Crawford, wrote Michelle Morgan in Monore’s biography “Marilyn Monroe: Private And Undisclosed.” During her therapy sessions with Dr. Ralph Greenson, Monroe reportedly admitted her relationship with Crawford. “Oh yes, Crawford. We went to Joan’s bedroom. Crawford had a gigantic orgasm and shrieked like a maniac.” Judy Garland also claimed that Monore once pursued her at a party and kept following her “from room to room.” After Monroe and Joe DiMaggio’s divorce in 1954, Joe told a journalist Walter Winchell that they got divorced because Monroe preferred women. Her publicist, Patricia Newcomb, remains one of the last people alive who were closely linked to Monroe.
