Taschen has paired Norman Mailer's original text (his 1973 biography, Marilyn) with Bert Stern's extraordinary photographs, widely considered to be the most intimate ever taken of Monroe, to create a tome that pays fitting tribute to the woman who was the world's most famous, a symbol of glamour and eroticism for an entire generation. Though she was fêted and adored by the public, her private life was a lonely one of a little girl lost, desperate to find love and security. Marilyn is beautiful, tragic, and complex--as Mailer chronicles her life, from her bleak childhood to the mysterious circumstances of her death in 1962. Monroe emerges as a symbol of the strange decade during which she reigned as Hollywood's brightest, most beautiful female star. Hardcover, clamshell box, measures 14.4” x 17.3”; 278 pages.
