Long before todays paparazzi chased images of starlets, the Magnum photo agency snapped images of future Hollywood legends going about their daily routines.

Marilyn Monroe tidies up and Paul Newman has a shave in the classic black and white images released from the Magnum archive.

Far from modern tabloid images of stars shot from afar as they leave the grocery store, the Magnum images are intimate portraits of the stars far from the film set.

Images from the Magnum span almost two decades, covering the mid-1950s to the 1970s as film and art evolved with the turbulent culture.

James Dean playing with his young cousin, actress Julie Christie decorating her London flat, and Ann Landers in a bathtub surrounded by copy are all in the archives.

Founded in 1947 as one of the first photo cooperatives, Magnum photojournalists have covered every major event of the last century.

In February 2010, Michael Dells venture capital firm acquired a collection of nearly 200,000 original press prints of images taken by Magnum photographers to be made available to the general public.
