Photographer's "1401 Sunset Plaza Drive, Hollywood, Calif. 90069" stamp on the reverse. André de Dienes was a prominent Hungarian-American photographer known for his early glamour, nude, and landscape photography, and most famously for launching Marilyn Monroe’s modeling career. In 1945, de Dienes was the first professional photographer to hire 19-year-old Norma Jeane Baker, an aspiring model. Fascinated by her raw talent, he took her on a road trip across California, Nevada, and New Mexico. Their professional relationship evolved into a brief romantic affair and a lasting friendship. He continued to photograph her after she became known as Marilyn Monroe in 1946, 1952, and 1953. – A few minor surface scratches; otherwise in very good condition. Lit.: André de Dienes. *Marilyn mon Amour: The Private Album of André de Dienes*. London: Bracken, 1993, ill., unpaginated.
