An exhibition of Ed Feingersh’s potographs entitled “My Week With Marilyn” will open at “Galerie Prints” in South London, United Kingdom on Feb 15th and continue through until March 30th.
Feingersh photographed Marilyn Monroe 1955 during her time in New York for “Red Book” magazine. Among his photos of Monroe, he captured her preparing to ride a pink elephant at Madison Square Gardens and most arguably his most famous photo (and one that’s instantly recognisable around the world) sees her splashing on a drop of Chanel No 5 perfume.
Monroe fans that live near Manchester, or for those who are willing to travel, can visit a bar/hotel themed entirely after the Hollywood Goddess herself!

It ranks 3.5/5 on Tripadvisor and is rated #109 out of 231 Nightlife locations in Manchester.
Owner Michael Ryan says:
“People are very fond of this place. We bought the pub in 1995 and the Monroe theme really ballooned from then on, 90 per cent of the pictures are presents from people who’ve been in to the pub or stayed here.
“It became Monroes in the 80s, it was the theme pub era, they decided to go with Monroe, but it could have easily been Elvis. When we bought it we thought why change it? And since then people have come from all over the country, indeed all over the world and giving us their pictures. We’ve become a bit of a tourist attraction.”
Exciting news! “Some Like It Hot” is heading BACK to cinema screens across the entire length and breadth of the UK from November 2nd for a limited time only.
