The Unpublished Marilyn
There is just no end to glamour. Hence, there is no end to Marilyn Monroe photo books nor to fashion photography nor to attempts to render the mundane glamorous.Haspiel is the ultimate fan of the quintessential blond bombshell. His third collection of pictures of his passion consists of previously unpublished or uncollected photos, in all some 250 snapshots, publicity portraits, news photos, production stills, and video and film freeze-frames. They span Monroe's life from infancy to mere months before her death. Most are black and white, and those in color suffer either from the ravages of age or the shortcomings of British printing. Still, no admirer of photogenicity, feminine allure, and the exquisite fragility of Marilyn Monroe would willingly do without a single image.Ray OlsonCopyright © American Library Association.
