In the course of Marilyn Monroe’s career, she had the choice of many photographers to work with.
In 1954, she chose Milton H. Greene.
Monroe formed a partnership with Greene that would result in more than 5,000 images taken over the course of three years.
They first met in 1953 when he photographed her for LOOK magazine, and they would later form Marilyn Monroe Productions, Inc., together.
Monroe even lived with Greene and with his wife Amy and son Joshua at their family home in Connecticut through 1957.
Although only a young boy at the time, Joshua Greene recalls happy childhood memories during those years.
