The Marilyn Diaries
"The 'diaries' will surprise you. Mr. Casillo interweaves incidents we know happened, things we know she said, with speculations over things maybe said, maybe happened. The result has an unexpected passion and intensity. This Marilyn will make you ache inside just like the real one did."  --Ernest Cunningham:  The Ultimate MarilynFascinating and compelling. Charles Casillo proves himself to be a master of characterization. I sometimes had to put the diaries down, stunned at his insight and compassion in capturing the emotions and thoughts of a historical figure who has often been portrayed as one-dimensional. If this is n ot Marilyn as she was in real life, it's the way you want her to have been.  --Randy Taraborrelli:  Jackie Ethel Joan Women of CamelotI enjoyed Charles Casillo's book immensely! He has written a clever and fascinating look into what Marilyn might have thought. --Mamie Van DorenI found Casillo's dazzling recreation of Marilyn's life almost painful to read--it brought my friend back to me so vividly. --Shelley WintersProvocatively intimate!  --Bert Stern:  The Last Sitting
