With
her ineffable combination of girlish innocence, glamorous sex
appeal, and palpable presence on the silver screen, Marilyn Monroe
bears an unmatched legacy marked by beauty, style, and mystique.
The Marilyn Monroe Treasures, both a compelling biographical narrative
and a collector’s delight, is a unique and meaningful addition to
the Marilyn library. Featuring a number of unseen photographs, such
as a soldier’s snapshots of Marilyn entertaining the troops in
Korea, as well as many unpublished pieces of memorabilia, including
an exquisite watercolor rose that Marilyn painted as a gift for
President John F. Kennedy’s birthday, The Marilyn Monroe Treasures
is a lavishly illustrated feast of beautiful imagery and ephemera
from the life of one of the world’s most beloved stars.
