The Last Sitting

The book contains magical and lovely images Of Marilyn in her final days.Here,she looks her best yet vulnerable.Also included inside are few Marilyn rejected shots.Is a must buy before you proceed to the later version "The Complete Last Sitting".

The difference between Stern's Last Sitting and Complete Last Sitting is the inclusion (in the latter volume) of recently restored proofs, the majority of the session, that Monroe herself had rejected- destroyed with pin and permanent marker, with "x"s to her face. The Barris book (truly the last photo session)is a skinny volume, mainly composed of similar shots of Marilyn at the beach in her mexican sweater. It's also inferior to Stern's due to the dubiously "remembered" confessions that fill almost every page, information that turns out to be common knowlege.If it's' a massive, intimate super-fan's only photography book, spend the extra $ on the Complete Last Sitting... and enjoy!
