A review by emilyhames
My Week with Marilyn: The Prince, the Showgirl and Me My Week with Marilyn by Colin Clark, Adrian Hodges

3.0

This is split into two different books, the first being the real life diaries of the author Colin Clark as he worked on a film with Marilyn Monroe. The other is more of a story based on real life events where Colin spent a weekend with Marilyn. I really enjoyed the first volume, the diaries gave insight into the films production and the work Colin did onset. But the second volume, which was originally published much later than the first, felt like another man exploiting Marilyn. Despite my mixed reviews I enjoyed being transported to another time, and was interested to learn the author is the son of the famous art historian, Kenneth Clark, whose books I frequented during my university study.
