An Actress Prepares

T0340851408
On 17th August 1962 LIFE magazine published 'Last Talk with a Lonely Girl'. 36 years old, divorced for the third time and now living alone, frustrated by Hollywood and tired of the label 'sex symbol', the final years of her life were marked by illness, personal problems, and a reputation for being unreliable and difficult to work with. In An Actress Prepares, Marilyn reflects on her silver screen persona and exaltation to one of the most celebrated idols of her time, while freely admitting to never knowing happiness. Candid and contemplative, and with her untimely death shortly after, this was to become her ultimate interview.
