![]() | Forever Marilyn by Marie Cahill
Published by Smithmark / Brompton Books Corp. 1992. USA. ISBN: 0-8317-3470-1. Details: Hardback. 63 pages. Contains: Over 90 photos (color, b&w). Index. Photo credits. The photos in Forever Marilyn are ordered in roughly chronological order, with a paragraph or two of explanatory text to accompany each two-page spread of photographs. This U.S. edition has a photo of Marilyn in her There's No Business Like Show Business garb instead of the Jayne Mansfield snapshot that is found in the British edition. |

![]() | Forever Marilyn by Marie Cahill
Published by Magna Books. 1993. UK. ISBN 1-85422-599-5. Details: Hardback. 64 pages. Contains: Over 90 photos (color, b&w). Index. Photo credits. This British edition of Forever Marilyn has the dubious distinction of being the only book (of which I am aware, at least) to misidentify Jayne Mansfield as Marilyn Monroe! Ugh. The only other difference between this edition and the U.S. edition is the cover photo. |

Further Reading
Other books that, though listed under different categories (or not available to me at this time), contain a good selection of photographs: Marilyn: The Life, The Myth by GiovanniBattista Brambilla is an enormous book, published by Rizzoli, and contains a large number of photos. Marilyn at Twentieth Century-Fox by Lawrence Crown contains an absolutely fabulous selection of photographs from the 20th Century-Fox archives, some quite rare. Marilyn: The Ultimate Look at the Legend by James Haspiel is a photo-book/memoir by the well-known Marilyn fan and collector, and contains a wealth of uncommon photographs of Marilyn, including many of costume-tests from her movies. Marilyn: A Neverending Dream by Gus Luitjers, though not printed on glossy stock, contains well-chosen, non-standard fare. Marilyn by Norman Mailer, is a sort of "best of" for photographs of Marilyn, with all of the top photographers' work represented. | |
