Marilyn Monroe and the Camera

  • Print

A reissue of a book first published in 1989, this is the complete Marilyn, from the cheesecake photos of fresh faced 19-year-old Norma Jean Mortensen to the harrowing last shoot with Bert Stern, with stops in between for Marilyn topless, bottomless and fathomless, in chorus girl outfits, feather boas and her birthday suit. We know how the story ends, and death casts its shadow backward on her every wink, leer and sleepy-eyed smile. A sad but captivating book.
