Collection Focus: Marilyn Monroe

To mark the centenary of the iconic star’s birth, June’s Collection Focus will celebrate Marilyn Monroe.

‘Only the public can make a star. It’s the studios who try to make a system out of it.’ – Marilyn Monroe

June marks the centenary of Marilyn Monroe’s birth. To celebrate this iconic figure, we have curated a selection of rare and unusual material about the star. It is available throughout June and includes books about the star’s films and life, original film magazines from the 1950s and works written by Marilyn herself. Why not visit the library and discover more about this legendary actor?
