On the set with Marylin
14 februari 2012 | Door: JosWassink | 50-59 jaar
The book is really a diary - better still: two diaries. The author Colin Clark is the son of famous art historian Sir Kenneth Clark in the late 1950's, whose castle in Kent is frequented by the rich and famous. Such as Sir Laurence Olivier (SLO) and Vivien Leigh. It is thus that Colin, who just graduated from Eton, can get his first job as a assistant in a film that SLO is producing with Marylin Monroe. It allows him to report from the inside of the English film production in Pinewood as a fly on the wall. He does so with an eye for detail, and with a feeling for the personal tensions and ambitions. BUT there is a 9-day hole in the first diary, which he claims is the week he was too busy tending to MM's needs to write in his diary, which he did later on. Dazzeled as he (and all others) is by MM, he makes it plausible that she confides in him, and takes him on as a mate, a pal. Too young to be her lover, too insignificant to be a threat, he is allowed in where others can only dream of and he gets to know Marilyn as few others have. This book allows you to share in the experience.
Pluspunten:
geloofwaardig, mooie foto's
Minpunten:
wennen aan de afkortingen
