"Bruno Bernard. He has been called the "Rembrandt of photography" and the "king of glamour". Though he also photographed male luminaries such as John Wayne, Gregory Peck, and Elvis Presley, Bernard of Hollywood made his name doing portraits of female stars and starlets of the 1950s such as Anita Ekberg, Jayne Mansfield, Brigitte Bardot, and Marilyn Monroe. He fled Nazi Germany in the 1930s, migrating to California and eventually establishing himself in Hollywood. By the 1940s, he was one of the most sought-after photographers there, with countless celebrities and hopefuls visiting his Sunset Boulevard studio to have their portraits taken. Bernard is remembered as the man who immortalized some of the century's greatest stars and mastered the art of pin-up photography better than any one else."

This one is so fun! very rare

Rare photo! Three women, one legend.

Marilyn Monroe and Mr. Hyde

Marilyn and Bruno Bernard in around 1953. Such a transformation from little Norma Jeane!

♥ There are lots more, but this is just a fun way to display her transformation from Norma Jeane to Marilyn Monroe with yet another photographer. She went from a 19 year-old girl next door to a bona-fide movie star in only a matter of two to three years or so. Some say (photographers in particular) that her sadness grew as she became a movie star and her innocence had vanished, but she was still luminous on camera.

Hope you all have a beautiful weekend! Mua!
