I Remember Marilyn (con't.)

	The Marilyn Monroe Party by Gloria Pall Published by Showgirl Press. 1993. USA. ISBN ? Details: Spiral-bound. ? pages. Contains: 22 pages of photocopies of newspaper articles and photographs. This is not a book per se, but rather a spiral-bound selection of photocopies from Gloria Pall's scrapbooks, detailing the time she attended a party for Marilyn Monroe. The party in question was the one that Ray Anthony threw for MM, and it was there that Ms. Pall achieved the impossible - stealing the limelight from Marilyn (as one journalist of the time put it, she "out-Monroed Monroe" with her cut-to-the-midriff dress). For those who are interested, I purchased this publication via mail from Ms. Pall at the following address - she still has copies to sell. Each copy is signed and numbered.
