Review

This remarkable album presents a wealth of recently discovered, never-before-published images of Marilyn Monroe. Accompanied by an introduction by James Haspiel, the internationally acclaimed archivist who enjoyed a close friendship with the actress over a period of years, these images were mined from Haspiel’s own archive. All but a handful have never before been seen by the public. There are photos from the high and low periods of the star’s life: moving images of Monroe as a child; as a wife, with husbands Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller; and as a glamorous international icon with John Kennedy and others. Candid off-set shots of Marilyn relaxing, along with “between-takes” stills from films like Some Like It Hot and Seven Year Itch make this exclusive collection a must for all fans. James Haspiel is the author of Marilyn: The Ultimate Look at the Legend.
