Heavenly: A Hundred Years of Unforgettable Women is a sumptuous photographic exploration of the most memorable female icons of the twentieth century. As we embark upon a new millennium, this visual documentation serves as a reminder of how beauty, allure, and style have evolved over the last one hundred years.

With a focus on the category of female--the entertainer--that, arguably, may have had the greatest impact on our modern culture, Heavenly gathers together more than 170 photographs, many of which have never been seen, into one lavishly produced volume. From the fabulous to the infamous, the witty to the welcome surprise, Marilyn to Madonna, Heavenly embraces them all. In addition, the book includes a brief biography with each photo and occasional illuminating interviews, making Heavenly a truly unique and stimulating visual anthology.
