About This Item
London : Bison, 1989. First Edition. Hardcover. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 118 pages; Physical desc. : 118 p. Subject: Monroe, Marilyn. Summary: Interest in Marilyn Munroe shows no signs of fading. Indeed, decades after her death, clips from Marilyn Munroe films are still used in commercials to sell new, 'trendy' products. For Marilyn transcended the dumb-blonde image that Hollywood carved for her, exuding a magic, a beauty, a joyfulness and an innocence that are as beguiling now as they were then. However, Marilyn's all-too short time on earth wasn't all innocence and joy. She hardly ever knew a 'proper' home, either as a child or an adult, and for most of her life she was an outsider. People revolved around Marilyn the superstar, but Marilyn the woman was often alone. Marilyn's best friend may well have been the camera. Before a lens she was alive and vibrant. Here, in over 100 pictures, we trace her life through the camera's record of her: scenes from her days as a young model, scenes from her films, scenes from her family life (such as it was) , and wonderful shots of the 'public' Marilyn, turning on her full magic for the people who made her a star. This book includes her astrological birth chart, and its lucid explanation helps to resolve many of the confusions surrounding the life of one of this century's most beloved and luminous ladies.
