A new Marilyn Monroe book has recently been published; 'Fragments'. This book is different it is not a biography but Marilyn in her own words, a collection of Marilyn's musings taken from her poems, intimate notes and letters. Early reviews are promising. Oh dear another book to add to the wish list.
They keep getting better and better the photos I mean!
ReplyDeleteI read a review of this. It looks fascinating! They say it shows a side of here the public really doesn't know. I want to read it too. Let us know if you do.
ReplyDeleteVanity Fair did a wonderful expose on this issue based on this new book...I definitely need to get my hands on it. It seems we all underestimated her intellect and the person she strove to be.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful pics!
These photos are so endearing.
ReplyDeleteme too on my wish list!
ReplyDeletethe photos of her reading show her in a new light.. such a beautiful person.. thanks for posting
I'm glad the public will finally see Marilyn Monroe as a real person and not just a sex kitten, an image created to sell movies and photographs and other things associated with her. Thanks for posting this.
ReplyDeleteHow did she combine the ultimate sexy woman with the child? It comes thru so strongly in these photos. Hope someone gives you the book - soon!
ReplyDeleteI too want to read this book. After I finish my first volume of the Autobiography of Mark Twain.
ReplyDeleteI think Marilyn has been underestimated for a really long time.
Dear Dash, gorgeous pictures! Another one to add to the list. Loved all the holiday posts. Aren't you lucky to have so many holidays! xx
ReplyDeleteHer image is so commonplace, that I think we rarely "see" her. What a beautiful creature she was.
ReplyDeletei'm baffled, Madonna? Since late 80's and early 90's emulating. Whom one only Marilyn try Madonnashots.com.
ReplyDeleteDepress years along Allaboutmadonna.com. So many younger people assume this Madonna. Why? Lack history pictures are bemusing. Have so many books on Marilyn and Jayne Mansfield. Thank you for historical dontent.
