Lee Miller, a former model and ace wartime photographer, is in Adolf Hitler’s bathtub, in Munich on April 30, 1945, the day he killed himself. The night before, Miller, and David E. Scherman, who photographed her, had visited Dachau, among the first correspondents to document the Nazi concentration camp horrors.
Alas, just as we all remain scarred by the Holocaust, Lee Miller, this 38-year-old goddess, lived another 32 years as a drunk, with her loved ones convinced that she, too, never recovered. Luxuriate in the images on Elizabeth Lee Miller’s website, riding the rollercoaster that was her life: there she is, ultra-fashionable in a ’40s-style beret and trenchcoat, there she is, erotically charged, as in her elongated, photograph of her neck.
