George Barris & Daughter Caroline Barris

George Barris, a renowned photographer, and Marilyn Monroe shared a profound professional and personal bond that transcended their respective careers. Their collaboration began on the set of "The Seven Year Itch," in 1954 where Barris first captured Marilyn Monroe's iconic scene with the Flying Dress over the subway grate, capturing not only her essence but also showcasing her magnetic charm and captivating presence and marking George Barris The 20th Century's Most Influential Photojournalist in Hollywood History.

Their bond deepened as Marilyn requested their collaboration on the book "Marilyn: Life In Her Own Words," leading up to the final photo sessions of her life in the Hollywood Hills and on the serene Santa Monica Beach in 1962. These intimate moments revealed Marilyn's vulnerability and inner strength, capturing her essence as both a timeless icon and a woman navigating personal and public challenges.

 

Beyond their professional ties, George Barris and Marilyn Monroe were close friends, sharing moments of laughter and reflection amidst the pressures of fame. George Barris's photographs of Marilyn Monroe continue to resonate, capturing not just her beauty but also her complexity as a cultural icon and a symbol of timeless glamour.
