Kasio Aoki was a steward on the Pan American Tokyo route. He has since enjoyed worldwide fame for his candid, evocative and luminous photographs of Marilyn Monroe and her baseball-legend husband, Joe DiMaggio, on their Japanese honeymoon in 1954.
Edward Weston (1926-2008) was a celebrated art publisher, who built a virtually unparalleled collection of glamour photography over five decades. Weston's archive collection features some of the most iconic images from the Golden Era of Hollywood - most famously of Marilyn Monroe - and has toured throughout the United States.
