Marilyn In Fashion

I can't believe it's 50 years since the untimely death of Marilyn Monroe at age 36. I assume this is the reason she was chosen as the poster girl for the Cannes Film Festival 2012. The exact date of the anniversary will be this Sunday 5 August. Her sudden death shocked fans and gave rise to conspiracy theories (CLICK). Fifty years on, photos of the star are still in demand. The latest book is Marilyn in Fashion: The Enduring Influence of Marilyn Monroe by Christopher Nickens, published by Running Press. Its RRP price is £20, but Amazon UK is selling it for £14, delivered free in the UK (CLICK).
