"Dieses Buch sind eigentlich zwei Bücher: eine Biografie und eine Bilder-Retrospektive über eine Schauspielerin, deren größte Liebesaffäre jene mit der Kamera war." - Norman Mailer in seiner Biografie Marilyn, 1973TASCHEN nimmt Mailer beim Wort und veröffentlicht seinen Originaltext mit Bert Sterns intimen Fotografien aus dem Last Sitting. Als würdige Hommage an eine Frau, die zum Zeitpunkt ihres Todes am 5. August 1962 als Göttin auf Erden galt, Inkarnation von Glamour und Erotik für eine ganze Generation. Obwohl sie gefeiert und bewundert wurde, war ihr Privatleben das eines kleinen Mädchens, das sich verirrt hat und nun verzweifelt nach Liebe und Geborgenheit sucht. Mailers Marilyn ist schön, tragisch und komplex. In seinen Reflexionen über ihr Leben - von der trostlosen Kindheit bis zu den mysteriösen Umständen ihres Todes - erscheint Marilyn Monroe als Symbol des bizarren Jahrzehnts, in dem sie Hollywoods größter Star war.Dieses Buch nach einer Idee von Lawrence Schiller (der bei fünf Büchern Mailers mitwirkte) kombiniert Mailers Sprachgewalt mit Bert Sterns eindringlichen Bildern der 36-jährigen Monroe. Nie zuvor hatte sie einen Fotografen so nah an sich herangelassen wie bei diesem dreitägigen Vogue-Shooting im Bel-Air Hotel, und nie hatte sie verführerischer ausgesehen. Sechs Wochen später lebte sie nicht mehr.In einer gewagten Synthese aus literarischem Klassiker und Porträtgalerie lüften Mailer und Stern den Schleier über Marilyn Monroe - der Frau, dem Sexsymbol, dem zutiefst amerikanischen Weltstar - und bieten tiefe Einsichten in eine Ikone des 20. Jahrhunderts, deren wahre Persönlichkeit bis heute rätselhaft geblieben ist.
