The brave, iconoclastic Lee Miller was many things-model, muse, artist, and more. Yet the more she pushed herself, the higher the price she paid.

Because, as always, women are airbrushed out of history. Just like the beautiful actress Hedy Lamarr who we can all thank for her scientific discoveries which are now the basis of our mobile/cell phones. Her ideas were stolen from her too and she died a poor woman.

Obviously, her father was a pedo and sexually molested her as a child. In college photography classes I was never taught about Lee Miller or any other woman photographer since the turn of the century. My peers and I admired our own peer photograhers lke Cyndy Sherman in the art scene like many other women our age. 50% of straight men's drama is somehow involved and linked with their freakish control actions in relationship, which destroys relationships with independent women. From (2500 BCE - 1980 CE) all women were left out or subjugate which means to bring something or someone under complete control or subjection, to conquer, or to master. Socially men controlled her at every angle by men in government, religion, sciences, businesses, the home, social constructs, the arts, her entire life. This started to change in the 50s and 80s, it was time. Today there is a lot of freedom for independent archetypes of women, and they choose not to marry or get divorced 10 years later because of these 2500-year problems with men.

Our history, in a whole, needs to be preserved, and there are hundreds of stories out there that need to be told. There are a lot of important people out there that have just as great stories that should be told. I wish the film industry would make movies of these stories other than the remakes of remakes of the same movies.

I just happened across this article about Lee Miller. I did not know who she was….. but now I will never forget who she was. There are so many twists and turns in our lives that we have no idea where they might lead. She did extraordinary things with her life and unfortunately men in particular tried to take her accomplishments or talent and beauty for their benefit! Lee was unremarkably strong, but war can change a person’s inner self until they think there is no recourse. Fortunately, my own children saved me from making those types of choices. I wish Lee would have considered her relationship with her son. Drinking only leads to despair and its damage is long lasting….if not never-ending. PS Her father was a creep! This kind of stuff makes me sick to my stomach! Fathers are supposed to protect and guide and love their children!!!!! Anthony has a mother to treasure in his heart and he can draw strength from her legacy.

Man Ray the creepiest ever,creep. Poor Miller after her father ,she was a beautiful woman in an age that men tried to own . She was a strong woman who was able to support herself that was almost unheard of during this time. It is wonderful that her son found all his mothers photos & preserved them & shares them with the world. Most important to me is the son was able to find photos of his mother smiling during her prewar years. It’s very hard to be an only child and then also a alcoholic mom with a grandparents in the US that you can’t vist.

Smoking in Hitlers bed... Hitler HATED smoking! Lee Miller was a strong woman at a time when women were not supposed to be strong. She broke the status quo. The tragedy is that if she admitted to having nightmares, people would say: "oh, she's just a typical woman", not realizing that the men who survived the war were going through the same problems.

Having had a father that was so unaware of a childs boundaries, using her for his own perverse needs and then placing her in a position where she was molested set her on her journey. I guess she made the best of it but I think many of her exploits during the war were self destructive if not out right suicidal.

Her childhood doesn’t sound so terrible. Dad took naked pics, thats all we know. It doesn’t mean he was molesting her or seeing it as anything other than artistic. People did this then. Babies and toddlers naked on bear skin rugs was a big thing then and continued into the early 1970’s. It really is possible he simply saw the photos as beautiful and artistic and never touched his daughter or had a pedo thought towards her. It sounds like she had a really good childhood actually.

This woman had some cojones, sleeping in Hitler's bed. George Hodel was a suspect in the murder of Elizabeth Short known as The Black Dahlia. They stated (Hodel who knew & hung out with Man Ray,) that suspicions came up about how The Dahlia's lips were cut exactly like the artwork of Man Ray's lips, not the lips in this video but other lips that had cuts from ear to ear. I believe it was a black & white piece. Hodel was quite the educated freak & a surgeon, but he was fascinated with Man Ray & Hodel had the lips cut from side to side picture in his home. Police officers in their investigations, went into a deep dive regarding Hodel, he had some bizarre past history that the police were aware of. But Hodel had a lot of money & influence. Even Hodels son who is or was a retired police detective thinks his father is guilty. Interesting how the world spins & our random bizarre connections.

If you're ever in the vicinity, I recommend a visit. There's also a community shop next door that does excellent coffee and cakes! I'd also like to recommend Tony Penrose's lovely book, 'The boy who bit Picasso'.

Powerful woman. When trauma befalls you young , you learn to turn off your emotions. You steel yourself against anything that can hurt you. I dare say that she couldn't have done the powerful work during the war, if she had not struggled during her formative years. Her downward spiral may have been her physical illness all along, and she self medicated. However, anyone seeing those horrors would be effected. Especially back then. People never saw images like this. Now its a mouse click away. Do you think that makes people growing up during this time more sensitive to real violence, or less sensitive? Are we more apathetic now that we are more informed, or are we more empathetic? Sympathetic even? Do we want to help end suffering, and desire to work towards that? The only thing else to do, is turn your back, which will it be?
