A luminous star nearing her tragic end. A young photographer just beginning to rise. Marilyn & Me is the deeply personal and visually striking chronicle of Marilyn Monroe’s final months, captured through the lens of Lawrence Schiller.

In this limited Collector’s Edition—signed by Schiller himself—extraordinary images from his private Monroe archive are paired with intimate recollections told with honesty, wit, and compassion. Schiller's words and photographs combine to offer a rare and unfiltered glimpse of Marilyn, revealing her vulnerability, charm, and strength at a pivotal moment in her life and career.

A tribute not only to Monroe’s enduring mystique but also to the power of storytelling through photography, this edition is as emotionally resonant as it is visually iconic.

Additional Information
In the Flesh
Just months before her death, Marilyn Monroe gave a young photographer his big break, and this is his story
“You’re already famous, now you’re going to make me famous,” photographer Lawrence Schiller said to Marilyn Monroe as they discussed the photos he was about to shoot of her. “Don’t be so cocky,” Marilyn replied, “photographers can be easily replaced.” The year was 1962, and Schiller, 25, was on assignment for Paris Match magazine. He already knew Marilyn — they had met on the set of Let’s Make Love — but nothing could have prepared him for the day she appeared nude during a swimming pool scene for the motion picture Something’s Got to Give.
Marilyn & Me is an intimate story of a legend before her fall and a young photographer on his way to the top. Schiller’s original text and photographs—over two thirds of which have never or rarely been published—take us back to that time, and to the surprising connection that allowed Marilyn to bond with a kid from Brooklyn, a kid with a lot of ambition but very little experience. It’s a story that has never been told before, recounted with tact, humor, and compassion. The result is a real and unexpected portrait that captures the star in the midst of her final struggle.
- Collector’s Edition of 1,712 numbered copies (No. 251–1,962), all signed by the photographer.

Das Buch ist einfach unglaublich toll gemacht. Abgesehen vom Inhalt, die Bilder sind der Wahnsinn, ist es auch von außen ein absoluter Hingucker. Super hochwertig, wie man es bei TASCHEN kennt. 100% Kaufempfehlung für alle Marilyn Fans. Super Geschenk!
