A pioneer for female photojournalists, Eve Arnold took up photography in New York City in 1946 and went on to become one of the world’s most revered photographers for her snapshots of Hollywood’s rich and famous.

Eve had a special affinity with movie star Marilyn Monroe, who she met when they were both still relatively unknown.”She was going places, but she hadn’t arrived,” Eve recalled. “It became a bond between us… Marilyn was very important in my career. I think I was helpful in hers.”
