I believe that this is the most recent release of this book. Contents are the same as in the other 3 editions listed in this section, though I am happy to say that they finally put-together a nice cover for this one.

This is the U.S. trade paperback edition of Rollyson's book.

Shaw
Marilyn Monroe as the Girl by Sam Shaw
Publication: Ballantine Books. 1955. USA.

ISBN: --
Details: Softback. 128 pages.
Contains: Over 100 photos (b&w).

This pocket-size paperback featured photos of Marilyn taken by Sam Shaw around the time she was filming The Seven Year Itch. Most of the pictures were taken on the set, but some are from social events that Marilyn attended. Very, very hard to find.


Further Reading

Other books that, though listed under different categories (or not available to me at this time), address the topic of Marilyn Monroe's movies and acting talent in some significant way:

Marilyn: The Last Take
by Peter Harry Brown & Patti Barham
This biography contains a wealth of information about Marilyn's last, aborted movie, Something's Got to Give.

Marilyn and Me
by Susan Strasberg
Susan Strasberg provides a wealth of information about Marilyn's relationship with Paula and Lee Strasberg, her last acting coaches (and Susan's parents).
