Lawrence Schiller, a very young photographer working for Look magazine, had the golden assignment to photograph Marilyn Monroe on movie sets in 1960 and 1962. From the very first meeting there was a kind of openness between them that soon led to trust.
50 years after her death, Schiller describes Marilyn Monroe as a very smart and literate person, insecure as an actress, very well aware of her photographic sensual emanation, sometimes acting out as a spoiled brat, but very often warm and sensitive. The fact that she wasn't taken seriously must have hurt her enormously.
A captivating and compelling memoir written with tenderness and love.
