In July 1962, Marilyn Monroe was at a crossroads. At thirty-six years old, and having just been fired by the studio from her current picture, Something’s Gotta Give, she was struggling with fame, age, and a studio system in which she no longer fit. When she sat down to give Richard Meryman an interview, she had a lot to say. Originally intended to be an interview just about fame, over the course of eight hours, Marilyn talked about her entire life. Only a small portion of the interview was published in Life magazine. When she died, just two days before the article was published, Meryman put the rest of her interview in his files, never to see the light of day. Documenting this landmark interview was photojournalist Allan Grant. His images of Marilyn would be her last photo shoot—in her home, in casual clothes, being the glorious free spirit she was. Grant captured every emotion of the interview in glorious images, only a few of which were published with the interview excerpt. The rest, just like the interview, sat in his archive, waiting to be rediscovered. Marilyn Monroe: The Last Photographs, The Lost Interview is Marilyn Monroe in her own words—the words that haven’t been published, until now. In this recently restored complete transcript, Marilyn very candidly talks about her life, her childhood, fame, the struggles with the studios, her approach to her work, celebrity, being a sex symbol, and more. At times joyous, silly, serious, and pensive, it is a Marilyn that the world has never heard. Accompanying the interview are more than 300 of Grant’s extraordinary pictures taken for the interview, most never published until now. This beautifully produced book offers readers a glimpse into Marilyn’s mindset during her last days as she began to assert control of her career and address her relationship with celebrity. Deepening the understanding of Marilyn’s talents, humanity, and true legacy, and the appreciation of her true beauty, this is a fitting tribute to one of the most iconic figures of the twentieth century.

Fragments is an event--an unforgettable book that will redefine one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century and that, nearly fifty years after her death, will definitively reveal Marilyn Monroe's humanity.Marilyn's image is so universal that we can't help but believe we know all there is to know of her. Every word and gesture made headlines and garnered controversy. Her serious gifts as an actor were sometimes eclipsed by her notoriety--and by the way the camera fell helplessly in love with her. Beyond the headlines--and the too-familiar stories of heartbreak and desolation--was a woman far more curious, searching, witty, and hopeful than the one the world got to know. Now, for the first time, readers can meet the private Marilyn and understand her in a way we never have before. Fragments is an unprecedented collection of written artifacts--notes to herself, letters, even poems--in Marilyn's own handwriting, never before published, along with rarely seen intimate photos. Jotted in notebooks, typed on paper, or written on hotel letterhead, these texts reveal a woman who loved deeply and strove to perfect her craft. They show a Marilyn Monroe unsparing in her analysis of her own life, but also playful, funny, and impossibly charming. The easy grace and deceptive lightness that made her performances indelible emerge on the page, as does the simmering tragedy that made her last appearances so affecting.

Written at the height of her fame but not published until over a decade after her death, this autobiography of actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) poignantly recounts her childhood as an unwanted orphan, her early adolescence, her rise in the film industry from bit player to celebrity, and her marriage to Joe DiMaggio. In this intimate account of a very public life, she tells of her first (non-consensual) sexual experience, her romance with the Yankee Clipper, and her prescient vision of herself as "the kind of girl they found dead in the hall bedroom with an empty bottle of sleeping pills in her hand." The Marilyn in these pages is a revelation: a gifted, intelligent, vulnerable woman who was far more complex than the unwitting sex siren she portrayed on screen. Lavishly illustrated with photos of Marilyn, this special book celebrates the life and career of an American icon--from the unique perspective of the icon herself.
