{"product_id":"marilyn-among-friends-9781854223005","title":"Marilyn Among Friends","description":"\u003cp\u003ePhotographer Shaw  a friend of Marilyn Monroe  took many photos of her  including the famous billowing-skirt shots for the film The Seven-Year Itch . Two hundred of his pictures  most of them never before published  are shown Marilyn at the makeup table  on the phone  on the beach  on the set  on the streetMarilyn with Bogart  with Gable  with DiMaggio  with Miller  with her basset hound Hugo. The text is affectionate but pretentious   with descriptions of the times Rosten (poet\/playwright\/novelist) spent with her  stories of her friends  husbands and admirers  and imagined conversations with the star. It is pleasant to note that there are no tales of CIA murder plots  Kennedy trysts and the like  but describing Marilyn as the ethereal  virginal nymph dancing innocently among trees is rather like calling William Howard Taft puckish. Avid fans will love this book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45789746233397,"sku":"ByrdShop_1854223003","price":51.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781854223005.jpg?v=1784696154","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/marilyn-among-friends-9781854223005","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
