The life of American surrealist Lee Miller – from her traumatic childhood to the horrors she encountered as a war correspondent – was as extraordinary as her photographs.
When things were going well, the model and muse turned wartime and fashion photographer was wonderful company, says her son. She could be monstrous too.
Lee Miller started her career as a model for American Vogue, appearing on its cover in March 1927. But she turned to becoming British Vogue s war correspondent in 1944.
