Milton H.Greene(March 14, 1922 - August 8, 1985): Born in New York in 1922, Milton Greene began taking pictures at the early age of 14. Although he was the recipient of a scholarship to the renowned Pratt Institute, a heightened awareness of the photographic image diverted his attention to the camera and its versatility. He soon apprenticed himself to the famous photojournalist and wizard of composition, Elliot Elisofen. Before long, his keen regard for fashion and the camera found him assisting Louise Dahl-Wolfe, the distinguished fashion photographer known for her unique covers and fashion pages for Harper´s Bazaar. At the age of twenty-three, Milton was referred to as "Color Photography´s Wonder Boy". He is best remembered for his friendship and business relationship with Monroe, whom he first photographed for Look. They eventually formed their own film production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, which produced Bus Stop and The Prince and the Showgirl. Before marrying Arthur Miller, Monroe lived with Greene and his family in Connecticut, where Greene took many classic photos of the star. During their 10 years together, Greene photographed Monroe in countless sessions, including the famous "black" sitting. He also took the photos for Monroe's autobiography, My Story, and collaborated with Norman Mailer on a fictional autobiography, Of Women and Their Elegance.
