Summary: In this international bestseller, a Danish-born journalist writes his long-withheld intimate account of his forty-day love affair in the late 1950's with the actress who was, probably more than any other woman of her era, a living legend, still ineffably with us. By way of the detailed diary he kept, he shares truths directly from Marilyn never before told, creating an insightful and sensitive memoir, utterly frank but expressing a remembrance of the most genuine affection.
