![]() Adult Marilyn Monroe Wig- Blond $25.99 Designed to complete the whole Marilyn Monroe Deluxe costume. This official Marilyn Monroe wig fits most adults. ![]() Marilyn Monroe Special Anniversary Collection (The Seven Year Itch / Gentlemen Prefer Blondes / Niagara / River of No Return / Let's Make Love / Marilyn - The Final Days) $49.98 Well, this is by no means the definitive Marilyn Monroe Collection, but represents just the highlight movies of her career as an actress. One should also own "Bus Stop", "How to Marry a Millionaire", "Monkey Business", "Don't Bother to Knock", "O'Henry's Full House", "Asphalt Jungle" and "The Misfits", in order to have a somewhat complete picture of her movie career. But if one wants to start somewhere, this is the Basic Marilyn Monroe Collection, starting in order with "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", a very funny and successful Comedy, followed by "Niagara", a romantic thriller, "River of No Return", also starring Robert Mitchum in a very interesting Western (in which Marilyn seems to be far more herself in a natural part and not so stereotyped as usual), "The Seven Year Itch", the iconic comedy which actually made Marilyn into a myth and one of the last movies, "Let's Make Love", with French actor/singer Yves Montand at her side, which can be considered a lukewarm and pale example of unsuccessful comedy, attempting to revive her career. In addition to these, comes a feature long documentary about her "Final Days", which includes, toward the end, the reconstructed and alas, truncated (due to her premature death) final movie in which Marilyn was supposed to appear, opposite Dean Martin and Cyd Charisse, called "Something Got to Give". A true rarity and a unique document in time. All the copies are special Anniversary editions, which also appeared earlier in different boxed sets, which means that they all received a digital remastering of picture elements and a full digital transfer on DVD. The sound is on all, and where possible, either in Stereo or Surround and this has been achieved with a very accurate remastering, giving by now, the best audio quality possible. I call it an excellent package and deal for this price. A must, for all those who remember Marilyn with fondness and respect. ![]() Marilyn Monroe ~ Hot Lips ~ Classic Artwork ~ Approx 24 X 36 Inches $15.99 This poster shows Marilyn Monroe. Her picture is in black and white except for her lips which are red, and the pink background. At the bottom is a copy of her signature. This poster measures approx. 24" x 36" ![]() My Story: Illustrated Edition $24.95 I was just slightly disappointed. This book was given to me as a gift so I didn't really know what I was going to be reading. I never really knew anything about Marilyn Monroe, but I was hoping I'd learn more than what I did. Though, I did find this a good book. And the pictures are outstanding. I was hoping for more of a story about her life and reading the last page made me want to read more. This book only gave me pieces. I definitely will be looking for a (longer) book that will teach me about her life, from earlier on, up until her death and what lead to it. Hopefully there is one. And I'm sure there is. I recommend this book, but I'd buy it used. |
