€œYou’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. €œDon’t be so cocky,€ Marilyn replied, €œphotographers 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 in 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 up. Schiller’s extraordinary photographs and vibrant storytelling take us back to that time with tact, humor, and compassion. With more than 1 images, including rare outtakes from the set of Marilyn’s last film, the result is a real and unexpected portrait that captures the star in the midst of her final months.
