La mia settimana con
Marilyn |
 |
Clark Colin
2012 |
In 1956, fresh from Oxford, the 23-year-old
Colin Clark (brother of maverick Tory MP and diarist Alan) worked as a
humble 'gofer' on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl, the film that
disastrously united Laurence Olivier with Marilyn Monroe. This is the
story of when Clark escorted a Monroe desperate to escape from the
pressures of stardom. How he ended up sharing her bed is a tale too rich
to summarise! Clark's extraordinary experiences on and off set have now
been turned into a major film starring Michelle Williams, Eddie Redmayne,
Judi Dench, Emma Watson, Kenneth Branagh and Dominic Cooper.

Marilyn among
friends |
 |
Shaw Sam & Rosten Norman
1988 |
The photographer Sam Shaw introduced
Norman Rosten to Marilyn Monroe in 1955. Their relationship grew :
Marilyn's analyst, Dr Ralph Greenson, described Rosten as one of her
"closest friends". She married another of his friends, Arthur Miller, and
from then saw a great deal of Norman and his wife Hedda.
Photographer Sam Shaw met Monroe on the set of "Viva Zapata" when she was
an out-of-work contract player. Shaw was to take many famous photographs
of Marilyn, but he too became her friend and over many years took the kind
of photographs that only friends can.
As her closest friends, both the author and the photographer are uniquely
placed to reveal the real Marilyn. This book conveys its subject with
greater authority, candour and, above all, affection than any previous
book. |
