She has a proposition for her. Norma Jeane created Marilyn Monroe to be photographed, and she wants Eve to do it. Eve is better than anyone she’s seen at capturing a person’s inner truth. Together they can help each other. Together, she says, they can make something brilliant.Skeptical of this cipher of a young woman, Eve demurs. She’s looking for more serious subjects than this ambitious starlet. But she keeps getting drawn back into Marilyn’s orbit, and the women come to recognize something in each other—something fundamental. Nothing will get in the way of what they want, and when Marilyn’s star takes off to teetering heights, neither will ever be the same.A lavish and transporting novel, When We Were Brilliant captures the halcyon days of an icon and the grit of women determining their own futures as it explores the exceptional and complicated friendship between Marilyn Monroe and Eve Arnold. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/newnan/lynn-cullen-edgar-b-hollis-distinguished-author-series/100001814233383889 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, business - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: Newnan Carnegie Library - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Newnan - **state**: GA - **country**: United States - **location**: Newnan Carnegie Library - **lat**: 33.3743424 - **long**: -84.8006904 - **full address**: Newnan Carnegie Library, 1 Lagrange Street, Newnan, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Lynn Cullen: Edgar B.
