The Unpublished Marilyn

About this book

The Unpublished Marilyn is a collection of over 250 previously unseen photographs of Marilyn Monroe. Accompanied by an introduction by James Haspiel the Monroe archivist who enjoyed a close friendship with the icon over a period of eight years the images are a recently discovered treasure trove from the unique Haspiel archive and all but a handful have never before been seen by the public. This book features photographs from the highs and lows of the stars life: moving personal images of Monroe as a child; as a wife and lover with husbands Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller; and as an international icon with John F. Kennedy among others. This production combines candid off-set shots of Marilyn relaxing with between-takes stills such as that of the actress crouching vulnerably during the shooting of the famous skirt-billowing scene in The Seven Year Itch. With its exclusive content this book is the ultimate look at the secret faces of a legend.
