Product Description
Product Description
No movie star in history is as iconic as Marilyn Monroe. This fact has had the unfortunate effect of distancing the observer from the human being. Marilyn is too often seen as an object instead of as a person. Not in this book. Carefully choosing from the portfolios of photographers who knew her well and who were with her in her unguarded moments, "Life" presents an intimate, warm portrait of a bravely, vulnerable woman. The work of great "Life" shooters - Milton Greene, Alfred Eisenstaedt, and others - is here, as is material from several other equally fine lensmen. They show different aspects of Marilyn, sometimes in famous imagery and sometimes in shots rarely if ever seen by the public. The accompanying narrative, too, tries to get in close; it lets the reader know Marilyn in a new way. In this book, Marilyn finally lives.

This book contains 128 pages of quality images and commentary about Marilyn from childhood to her death. It is broken down into 6 sections and has a mixture of full page photos and smaller ones. They show Marilyn with family, friends and lovers as well as individual portraits. Some are black & white and many are in colour. The majority of these images deal with the personal aspects of Marilyn's life rather than the publicity type photos. The book is quite small in size but it is high quality. I can recommend this to any fan of Marilyn.

A brilliant book for any fan of Marilyn. Wonderful photos by top photographers, some I hadn't seen before. It was so good I immediately ordered a second copy to be sent as a present for my friend, another serious Marilyn fan, and she loved it too!
Well worth the price and both were delivered in perfect condition a couple of days after I placed the orders.
