The Lives of Lee Miller Summary

The Lives of Lee Miller: Soon to be a major motion picture starring Kate Winslet by Antony Penrose

Described by the Sunday Times as 'a fascinating revelation of an adventurous and protean spirit, this biography is inspiration behind the up-coming film Lee, starring Kate Winslet as Lee Miller.

Beautiful, bewitching and an exceptionally good photographer, Lee Miller was one of lifes adventurers.

She became a Vogue cover girl in 1920s New York before embracing Paris, photography and Surrealism, and then dramatically changed her life yet again, reinventing herself as a war correspondent, notably covering the liberation of Dachau.

These are but three of the many lives of Lee Miller, intimately recorded here by her son, Antony Penrose. Featuring a selection of Millers finest work, including portraits of her friends Picasso, Tanning and Ernst, Penroses tribute to his mother brings to life a uniquely talented woman and the turbulent times in which she lived.
