half of this book is writing, and the pictures are good, but there isn't enough. this is a little book, so only get it for the rare couple of photos.
a wonderful collection. July 15, 2003

7 out of 7 found this review helpful
A small book containing a plethora of beautiful photographs, some of which I've seen nowhere else (the Halsman "leaping" shots, for example). Truman Capote's essay at the beginning also reveals a raunchy, funny Marilyn rarely seen in other writings. Marilyn had such a wide variety of friends in New York and Los Angeles, and it's interesting to read a literary giant's take on a screen giant --and enduring icon-- like Marilyn.

This short collection contains some of the greatest photos, and some of the most memorable, of marilyn monroe. the essay by truman capote was charming and showed us a good deal of the real marilyn. my only complaint is that it ended too soon.
Photos of a remarkable life. May 3, 2000

This book features a wide variety of wonderful photographs of Marilyn Monroe. It spans her very earliest photographs before she was a star, up to some of the last ones ever taken of her. In between are movies photos, publicity photos, and some candid photos that show her in a more thoughtful mood. The text by Truman Capote is very touching to read and reveals how vulnerable, yet worldly wise, Ms. Monroe was. This book is a treasure trove of wonderful photographs!
