Marilyn on Location

Summary

"In all that has been written about Marily Monroe since her death, her skill as an actress and comedienne has attracted far less attention than her personal life. ""Marilyn on location"" is a celebration of the work of the young model called Norma Jean who, through a combination of beauty, talent and sheer determination, became one of Hollywood's most sought after stars. Bart Mills charts her career, film by film, from early B movies in which she had walk on parts, to classics like ""The seven year itch"" and ""Some like it hot"". He discusses her ambitions and insecurities which were often the cause of her unreasonable behaviours on set and he draws on interviews with her directors and co-stars who talk about their working relationships with Marilyn. Lavishly illustrated with stills from all her films, ""Marilyn on location"" is a comprehensive and thoughtful assessment of her films, which shows just why Marily remains Hollywood's most enduring legend."
