"Few photographers have had the honor of photographing the legend Marilyn Monroe; Douglas Kirkland is one of the lucky ones. Douglas happened to be one of Marilyn's favorite people and she made sure to let him know it. The photographs he has of her are breathtaking and obviously taken by a man who was mesmerized by her beauty and talent" (Judith Habert, cit. after Roizman 2015, cover).
