Katherine E. Krohn's biography is finally out. The book is aimed at young adults, and is part of a series of celebrity biographies written by the author. If you can't find this in your local bookstore, you can order it from Amazon Books. |

This book is slated to be released in August 1997. It is touted as "a compelling fiction collection to coincide with the 35th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death." (Note: This is a black-and-white scan). I believe Amazon Books is taking pre-orders for it. |

Adam Woog's book, Mysterious Deaths: Marilyn Monroe is out now. The author examines the various theories of how, when and why Marilyn Monroe died. Contains an index, a bibliography, and a handful of black-and-white photos. ISBN# 1-56006-265-7. If you can't find a copy at your local bookstore, try ordering one from Amazon Books. |

This book, which I suspect has been out in Britain for some, has just been released in the U.S. It features Marilyn and Jane Russell, in a scene from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, on the cover. Inside is an essay by Laura Mulvey on Hawks' work on Blondes. |

Those of you who missed-out on the chance to purchase Marilyn by Moonlight should look-into getting a copy of the current issue of Drive-In Cinema, which features an article about that book. The brief blurb at the beginning of the article claims that the book can be ordered from Market Square productions, but don't get your hopes up - they are in fact out of stock (Drive-In Cinema is published twice yearly, it seems, so the claims of availability were probably true at the time the magazine was put together). |

This issue of American Photo is devoted entirely to Marilyn. In addition to the requisite photographs (including some very rare ones), it includes brief biographies of some of the photographers who worked with Marilyn, and a section at the end depicting a handful of current celebrities (from Cindy Crawford to Jimmy James) doing their best evocation of the star. |

The April, 1997 issue of Palm Springs Life features an article on Jean Louis, the man who designed Marilyn's "Happy Birthday Mr. President" dress. One of his sketches of Marilyn (in a negligee intended for use in Something's Got to Give) graces the cover. |
