Marilyn

Written by fan and friend, James "Jimmie" Haspiel tells this tale of the real Marilyn Monroe, his "Mazzie". Illustrated with rare photographs from his own collection as well as movie stills and authentic letters, Jimmie talks of the Norma Jean behind the makeup and poise of the legendary Marilyn; her luminescent beauty, her talent, her extreme love and respect of life - a respect that he believes means that there is no way she could ever have taken her own life. Told by the fan Marilyn herself said could do real justice to her tale, the friend whoose photograph was found by her bed on 4th August 1962, the day she died - her "one and only Jimmie".
