Note: The photograph of Marilyn Monroe by Cecil Beaton (above) was included in Diana Vreeland's coffee table book, Allure. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis was that book's editor. It says much about Mrs. Onassis's character that she did not use her power to remove this photograph of her husband's volatile mistress. Marilyn Monroe (born June 1, 1926, Los Angeles, California, U.S.—died August 5, 1962, Los Angeles) was an American actress who became a major sex symbol, starring in a number of commercially successful films during the 1950s, and is considered a pop culture icon. Norma Jeane Mortenson later took her mother's name, Baker. Just before Marilyn Monroe's shocking death, in 1962, photographer Lawrence Schiller hit the jackpot, capturing the world's most famous blonde at her most seductive. Fifty years later In his Sartorial Anarchy self-portraits, New York-based Nigerian-born artist Ike Ude creates composite images of the dandy across geography and chronology. Ude photographs himself in disparate ensembles, pairing, for example, a copy of an 18th-century Macaroni wig with other carefully selected vintage garments and reproductions.
