    • Amazing photos!
Great for Marilyn super fans - follows her from early days throughout her life. Lots of interesting info and memories from those who knew and loved her. Beautiful to display and fascinating to read. Talk about eye candy - doesn't get better than this book!

    • A Dream Fulfilled!
I have wanted this book for years. I finally broke down and purchased it, and man oh man, was it worth it! The pictures in this book are breathtaking! They are beautiful quality, glossy, and rich. Marilyn was a masterpiece, but the love and care put into this collection are exquisite. I originally purchased this as a coffee table book, but after getting it I realized that I don't want people putting their paws on my precious book. It is stored away in my bedroom, just for me to enjoy (it's that special!!) It's worth every penny to have a piece of the legend that was Marilyn Monroe. Also, a side note: the book was shipped in protective wrap with added bubble wrap inside, which I really appreciated. Thanks, Amazon :) ... show more

    • Very classy & vivid photos
Very classy & beautiful vivid photos. I thought there was going to be makeup tips but the best person on Marilyn Monroe makeup techniques is Erin Parsons on YouTube. Erin recommended this book. I have to agree with Erin who is a hard core fan for Marilyn Monroe that this is a must have. A beautiful visual record of a Hollywood Goddess. ... show more

    • EXCELLENT !
If you were to ever buy just one book which contained beautiful black & white, and colour photos of Marilyn Monroe in chronological order, in a LARGE format that you will label as a "keeper" for your personal collection...THIS IS THE ONE ! But it is much more than just "photos": Well-researched, well-documented, much info from those who knew her, worked with her, and were friends with her. In reality, her original brown/brunette hair color was just fine. And, those early, innocent photos showing her in her "natural" state prove the love that the camera showed her...the lense captured her young, glowing beauty way before she was given the "Hollywood Treatment" of blonde hair & studio makeup artists. I remember vividly the day she was found dead, August 5, 1962...just 8 days before my 21st birthday. I could not believe it. A decade older than me...but SO young. And now she was dead. Like the death of James Dean at his early age, both myself and my peers seemed to be losing our "current" popular film icons...just as the age previous to us had lost Thelma Todd, Jean Harlow, and, Carole Lombard. I had just come back from my first trip to Los Angeles & Hollywood. I was preparing to be an Actor and would move out to California a year later to study at the Pasadena Playhouse. And, I could tell from the environment I had witnessed there that it was NOT an easy place to be in if you wanted to remain "who you really were", and this excellent volume on Marilyn verifies my original thoughts. This book was my personal Christmas Gift to myself, and I've already recommended it to a number of my friends...just as I recommend it to you ! BTW: This was purchased through Amazon "Free Shipping" and came earlier than I had expected...thanks, Amazon ! Packing was cool too...so, don't just read this: If you want something right now, order it and enjoy it before the Holidays are over ! ... show more

    • spectacular photos and amazing clarity
I bought this book as a Christmas present for my wife, but i must admit i had an interest in it also. We are both in awl of this beautiful lady, her talents as a model and her abilities as an actress. Her movies did not show off the depths of her spirit sadly and unfortunately. She was underrated to say the least. That said, i only wish the book explored her early life and career in greater depth. But there other books out that address this and we intend to buy those also. I can't say enough about the quality of the photographs, they are exquisite in every way. If you love her as much as we do, purchase this book and leave it out on your coffee table. It will cheer you every day. As Bernie Taupin said in his song "wish i could have known you, but i was just a kid" , we have to be content with knowing her through her pictures. Marilyn, you live in our hearts and you will never be forgotten ... show more

    • Gorgeous book...a must for collectors, and a great choice as a gift.
I am a huge MM fan, and have a very large collection of books and memorabilia. After reading several reviews here, I knew I had to have it. There are so many books about her, but some are just shoddy and seem thrown together for the sole purpose of making money. This is really the ultimate "coffee table" book. It has a great concept...literally her metamorphosis from Norma Jeane to Marilyn throughout her too short life. This is not the book for someone doing research or wanting to read a lot about her. There are some well chosen quotes, but it is all about the gorgeous photos. Yes, some are very familiar, but there are some I've never seen before. And the photos are what tell the "story" here of her changing looks over the years. The quality is very high, the photos are stunning, and I love the cover. This would be a great gift for any MM fan, but be sure to get a copy for yourself! ... show more
