	Marilyn Monroe: Her Life in Her Own Words by George Barris Publication: Birch Lane Press. 1995. USA. ISBN: 1-55972-306-8. Details: Hardback. 160 pages. Contains: Over 100 photos (color, b&w). Filmography. Marilyn fans were first introduced to George Barris' photos of Marilyn through Gloria Steinem's book, Marilyn: Norma Jeane. Some years later, Barris finally came-out with his own. In it, the first-person narrative of Marilyn's life (which appears to be an extrapolation from notes Barris took while interviewing Marilyn during June and July of 1962) is accompanied by Barris' own running commentary on the photo shoots, fellow photographers, and Marilyn herself. The pictures are quite wonderful: I must say, even though he was photographing Marilyn at around the same time that Bert Stern was, I have always found Barris' work to be infinitely preferable. Marilyn looks happy out on the beach, with the wind whipping her hair everywhere. She merely looked sad and run-down in her sittings for Stern. I consider this a very worthwhile book and, happily, it is still available in bookstores.
