No one who has seen her films can ever forget the sheer physical impact of the 'sweet angel of sex] the blonde bombshell who enchanted the world. But although she was feted and adored in public, her private life was that of a little girl lost, an orphan child who wanted to grab and keep all the happiness she had never known. Her failed marriages, personal insecurity and tragic death contrast vividly with the fake glamour of her screen image. But above all she was beautiful, with an easy playfulness that made her every man's dream girl. And this superb biography brings together the ecstatic prose of the celebrated Norman Mailer and a magnificent pictorial record by the world's greatest photographers.* This is a NEAR FINE copy of the 1st./1st. with minimal shelf wear & minor faults reducing it to VG*
