Marilyn: A Never Ending Dream [Paperback]

Luijters (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 25, 1996

Marilyn Monroe, perhaps more than any other actress, captured the hearts and the imagination of people the world over and remains an icon for each new generation. This sumptously illustrated record of Marilyn features the star at all stages of her life, incorporating a wealth of interview material, gathered together to build a kaleidoscopic picture of her character. Her own words combined with a complete filmography, discography and bibliography, make this a fascinating record of an actress who probably generated more interest and affection than any star of her generation.

Review

Unlike many of the others, this book lets Marilyn speak for herself, in quotes from interviews and in hundreds of terrific photos. -- News Leader

5.0 out of 5 stars MARILYN: A NEVER ENDING DREAM, May 21, 2001

This review is from: Marilyn: A Never Ending Dream (Paperback)

I found this book unique in it's presentation, from photos to Marilyn speaking to the reader through narration. It contains many photos that have not been previously published by other books about her. It should be added to any Marilyn Monroe lover/afficinado's collection. A really beautiful book!

I received this book as a gift and was surprised to see many photos of Marilyn i had never seen before. That was some feat for the author considering i am a die-hard Marilyn fan. Like many others i am always looking for new things to discover about the screen legend. This book delivers and is a must have for any Marilyn Monroe fan!

This review is from: Marilyn: A Never Ending Dream (Paperback)

Well, if you've bought other books about Marilyn as I do, this one won't add much to your collection. I prefer to choose a book with relatively unseen pictures of Marilyn since we've all seen so much of her, and this book certainly fails in this regard. I also don't like the presentation of this book, the quality of the paper is bad, and there are too many words surrounding the pictures, making the pages look rather crowded...
