Marilyn Lookalikes Photographed in LA

Over at Feature Shoot, an interesting series of portraits by Emily Berl, documenting several Marilyn lookalikes in her hometown of Los Angeles – including Holly Beavon, Jami Deadly, Gailynn Addis and Monica Shahri.

“My main criteria for photographing these people is that Marilyn has to be a large part of their lives, either as a profession or something they personally draw inspiration from. I’m less concerned about how much they look like Marilyn and more concerned about their motivations for becoming her. The women I have met through this project want to portray the real Marilyn, not the overly sexualized, overly simplified version of her.” —Emily Berl
