Marilyn Monroe on the set of her final film.
“You’re already famous, now you’re going to make me famous,” photographer Lawrence Schiller said to Marilyn Monroe on assignment for Paris Match magazine. “Don’t be so cocky,” Marilyn replied, “photographers can be easily replaced.”
Marilyn & Me combines Schiller’s extraordinary Monroe pictures—over two thirds of which have never or rarely been published with his own story of Marilyn, told here for the first time with tact, humor, and compassion. The result is a real and unexpected portrait of the star in the midst of her final struggle.
This Art Edition of 125 numbered copies (No. 1-125), each signed by Lawrence Schiller, comes with a gelatin silver print from the swimming pool scene of Something’s Got to Give, Monroe’s last film.
