Just thot I'd hip you to this. First of all I think we're pretty much over marilyn comment specials. I thot so too and I'm glad I watched this one.
What was good about this special, can we call it a special? was that almost all of it was interviews w/the Marilyn photographers. There is one interview w/Gloria Steinem who wrote an intro to some Marilyn book and personally I found her particularly sour and devoid of any insight in her interview and EVEN more dour were the comments from Mailer who wrote an infamous Marilyn Monroe book. I hope he never kept notes on my family.
The main thing in the docu was the photographers notes from them personally on film. There was alot of good commentary even I hadn't even seen.
Everyone seems to know a different Marilyn and yet they all seem t know the same one......
.....The greatest Marilyn mystery to me will allways be why she went to the Actor's Studio and ended up where she did. And those f'n Strasberg's were her 'friends'....
