CONVERSATIONS WITH MARILYN W. J. Weatherby First Printing HC/DJ w. postcards

Description: Some light tanning but otherwise clean and solid “This is undoubtedly the best book ever written about Marilyn Monroe, the beautiful, doomed movie star - because for the first time she herself is extensively quoted: "Sometimes I feel as tied to the beauty business as an addict to his drugs. It's a relief to get in sloppy clothes. When my looks start to go, so will most of the fans." W. J. Weatherby, who has an international reputation as an interviewer of ce-lebrities, first met Marilyn when he was covering the making of her last movie, The Misfits, for the Manchester Guardian. They became friendly when they met again at the Actors' Studio in New York. Much of this book is an account of their long conversations in a bar on Eighth Avenue. They made an agreement that he wouldn't write about their meetings at the time, and therefore she could talk freely. But as a good reporter with a trained memory, he kept complete notes of their conversations, and these notes now form the heart of this book. Conversations with Marilyn is a close look at a very complex woman in action-in talk ranging from the burdens of being a sex symbol (and the lesson of Betty Grable) to her dreams and nightmares, from ex-husband Arthur Miller to both her beloved Kennedys. Apart from the extraordinary self-portrait, Conversations presents a fascinating gallery of such supporting characters as Montgomery Clift, Sam Gold-wyn, Clark Gable, Clifford Odets, John Huston, Charles Laughton, Billy Wilder, Martin Luther King, Lee Strasberg, Peter Lawford, Bobby Kennedy, Christopher Isherwood, and Sean O'Casey.”
