: 4.25 am, 5 August 1962, West Los Angeles Police Department :
: 'Marilyn Monroe has died of an overdose', a man's voice says dully. And :
: when the stunned policeman asked 'What?', the same voice struggled to :
: repeat 'Marilyn Monroe has died. She has committed suicide.' :
: :
: If life were scripted like the movies, this extraordinary phone call would :
: have been made by the most important man in Marilyn Monroe's life - Dr :
: Ralph Greenson, her final psychoanalyst. During her last years Marilyn had :
: come to rely on Greenson more and more. She met with him almost every day. :
: He was her analyst, her friend and her confessor. He was the last person to:
: see her alive, and the first to see her dead. :
: :
: In this highly acclaimed novel, Marilyn's last years - and her last :
: sessions on Dr Greenson's couch - are brilliantly recreated. This is the :
: story of the world's most famous and elusive actress, and the world she :
: inhabited, surrounded by such figures as Arthur Miller, Truman Capote and :
: John Huston. It is a remarkable piece of storytelling that illuminates one :
: of the greatest icons of the twentieth century." :
