Emily Berl first moved to Los Angeles in 2012 and soon noticed the face of Marilyn Monroe everywhere, an image so ubiquitous that it blended into everyday life. Around the world, there are women who dress as her, whether as impersonators, tribute artists, or simply fans. For them, she is more than a storied icon, and her timeless celebrity inspires her admirers to channel, protect, and pursue a traditional image of fame. Berl portrays fourteen women who dress as Marilyn Monroe, examining the classic yet powerful notion of the Hollywood Dream that still thrives today. A fascinating afterword by Karina Longworth delves into the biography and phenomenon of Marilyn Monroe.
