A Century of Marilyn Monroe Captured: Icon, Image, and Influence

TL;DR Summary
A new National Portrait Gallery exhibition, Marilyn Monroe: A Portrait, surveys 100 years of the star’s image through iconic photographs by photographers such as André de Dienes, Eve Arnold, Milton H. Greene, Cecil Beaton, Pauline Boty, Allan Grant, and Andy Warhol, tracing Norma Jeane’s rise from a factory worker to a global icon and the private struggles behind the public persona, with Monroe’s remark that it was the people who made her a star; the show runs in London until 6 September.
