Marilyn Monroe Guitar Circa Discbound Notebook

Perhaps more than any other photographer, Milton H. Greene (1922–1985) was able to reveal the many moods of the woman known to the world as Marilyn Monroe, capturing countless facets of her personality beyond mere glamour or ‘cheesecake.’ Quickly becoming a close confidant and advisor, Greene would also serve as her producing partner and Vice President of Marilyn Monroe Productions, which produced her films Bus Stop and The Prince and The Showgirl. The cover of this unique Circa® notebook is from their September 1953 photo session, known as  “The Balalaika Sitting,” “The Mandolin Sitting,” or simply “The Guitar Sitting.” Greene’s evocative photography of Monroe brings to mind Shakespeare’s quote from Antony & Cleopatra:  “Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her infinite variety.” Junior size.
