Lawrence Schiller. Marilyn & Me. A Memoir in Words & Photographs - Reviews (3)
| "Just weeks before she died in August 1962, Marilyn Monroe bared all for photographer Lawrence Schiller on the set of her last film Something’s Got to Give. As the 50th anniversary of her death approaches, Schiller, author of the memoir Marilyn & Me (and a limited-edition TASCHEN photo book featuring previously unpublished shots), opens up about those rare nude images and the tortured soul behind the beauty."— People, New York, United States |
| "There are some AMAZING images in both (Marilyn & Me: A Photographer’s Memories) and (Marilyn & Me: A Memoir in Words and Photographs)."— Matt Lauer on The Today Show, New York, United States |
| "Marilyn can be yours... To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Monroe’s death, filmmaker, author and photojournalist Lawrence Schiller is releasing several rarely seen photographs of the starlet from his archives... Telling his personal story in photographs and words, Mr. Schiller worked with both Nan Talese’s imprint at Doubleday and TASCHEN to simultaneously release Marilyn & Me: A Photographer’s Memories and Marilyn & Me: A Memoir in Words and Photographs."— The Wall Street Journal, New York, United States |
| "Two-thirds of the book, which features four foldouts and a cover of a custom woven silk, is made up of unpublished photos of the star; the ultra lavish limited edition version, printed on archival paper, goes for $1,000."— The Miami Herald, Miami, United States |
| "Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Marilyn's death, film director, author, and photojournalist Lawrence Schiller is debuting his 11th book, Marilyn & Me: A Memoir in Words and Photographs. Schiller's journalistic essay takes us back to a time when movies were called "motion pictures" and the predecessors of today's celebrity gossip magazines were called Life and Paris Match... The book is filled with personal recollections from his charming first encounter with Ms. Monroe on the set of Let's Make Love to his last, just a day before she died. Through photographs, Schiller reveals semi-nude images of the actresses' infamous pool scene on the set of her last, unfinished film, Something's Got to Give. These iconic images — some never-before-seen — are the product of words that forever changed his career."— Miami New Times, Miami, United States |
| "Even from a distance of 50 years, Schiller’s recollections retain a starstruck tone."— The Independent on Sunday, London, United Kingdom |
| "A poignant portrait that captures the star as her world began to collapse."— Irish Independent, Dublin, Ireland |
| "It's lovely seeing the blue box and to feel it makes it very beautiful indeed. When I opened it to look inside the pages, some of the pictures were like she was coming right out of them... magical!"— Fraser Penny, Immortal Marilyn, Perth, Australia |
| "Die Fotos in Schillers Buch zeigen viele Facetten der MM: die einstudierte Sexiness, das verletzte wie störrische Kind, aber auch eine Frau, deren Gesicht von einem langsamen Erlöschen erzählt."— Profil, Wien, Austria |
| „Der Kölner TASCHEN-Verlag hat mit Schiller's Aufnahmen nun einen Prachtband produziert.”— General-Anzeiger Bonn, Bonn, Germany |
