I watched the film on a transatlantic flight a couple of weeks ago and thought it was very moving. I particularly liked the way it emerged that the interviewer was her son. Thanks very much for this comprehensive post, which helped fill in gaps and answer a number of questions that I was left with.
What a brilliant article. Before this summer, I'd never heard of Lee Miller. What an amazing woman. I wish now that I'd gone to see the film when it was showing at my local cinema.
Thanks so much Brigitte. She’s fascinating, isn’t she? I only saw the film last weekend. Sky was involved in the film production, so ai imagine it will be available to stream soon. I definitely recommend watching LEE.
A wonderfully written article about a very talented person ,very troubled by what was going son in the world around her especially during the Second World War but who used her talents at great personal cost to bring that world to the attention of her fellow human beings through her work in a way that has endured thereby ensuring that what happened to the world and its people at that time is never forgotten.We should salute Lee Miller.
I think if she was reading this article she would be pleased to see that her work has and will continue to mean something which is not something many of us can say,good for her.
Finally well done to the author of this article for reminding us of Lee Miller’s legacy and that the power of a photograph in certain circumstances
can say so much more than the written word could ever hope to
Caroline- So many wonderful insights here, but I am particularly pleased to have learned about the Lee&Lee work. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your feedback Thalia. Glad you enjoyed the article.

You are most welcome Alison - yes I didn’t realise it was her son interviewing her until very late in the film. A fascinating female icon in WW2
Incredible woman, incredible life story ...... beautifully told Caroline xx

I'm saving this for a slow read, but let me first say it's great you did these things -- not to mention writing them up, of course.
Thanks so much Betty.
