Eight years before the filming of her last picture Marilyn Monroe and George Barris had met and decided one day to do a picture book and autobiography together. This, the culmination of her dreams, includes the famous 'Last Photo Shoot' as well as the most candid account she ever gave of her life: her illegitimate birth; her childhood without a father; the years of sexual abuse she suffered in foster homes; her stormy marriages; and her ambition to become a film star. Features 150 colour and b/w photos.
