Marylin

by Mike Evans

Sechs reich bebilderte Kapitel zeichnen Marilyns Weg vom Waisenkind Norma Jean Baker über die Zeit als Pin Up Girl bis zu ihren grandiosen Hollywood-Triumphen - u. a. Das verflixte siebte Jahr, Manche mögens heiss oder Fluss ohne Wiederkehr - nach. Sie beleuchten ihre Ehen, Exzesse, Triumphe und Tragödien ebenso, wie sie die Stille Seite des Stars zeigen: kaum bekannte Bilder, private Zitate aus Briefen und Tagebüchern machen dieses Buch zu einer unverzichtbaren Lektüre für alle Fans - zum Blättern, Schmökern, und Nachschlagen. Auf diesen 432 Seiten findet sich alles, was man über diese Ikone des 20. Jahrhunderts wissen muss, denn merke: »Sie war das Original!«

Genres: Biography, Nonfiction, Reference

Although it's small, it is quite thick!
I enjoyed the photos and the quotes inside.
It also gives you a glimpse of some events she went.
Lovely :)

I had this book for about 15 years. I always pursued it but never read. Amazing photos (like, what photo of Marilyn wasn't?) and informative.

The photography is untouchable in this book, and the subject is breathtaking, of course. The biggest reason I admire her legendary life, is the grace and heart stopping beauty she could portray over a mask of such misery. She only had to blink and stop the world from turning, so we could all turn to look at her. She was misunderstood, and misinterpreted. But talented beyond imagination.

Nice little big book... or should I say thick book? ;) Not that many errors, at least not bad ones. Loads of pics, though none of them REALLY rare. I like it that it has interviews of people you rarely seen interviews of, but alas, they are cut short. Some only contain one Q/A. Still, a nice thing to have in your collection, and a treasure trove for "Marilyn beginners" ;)

It was either a really bad Danish translation or just badly written. Only the last two chapters were worth reading.
