Sorry, but this is NOT a True Story!
"Colin Clark" waited 40 and then 43 years to write his faux diaries, after working as a glorified-gopher on the set of the "Prince and the Showgirl." Hmmm. Did you always keep several diaries going at a time, Colin?
One only has to use their discernment while attempting to read one, and know they sound suspicious from the get-go.
However, thanks to reputable biographers such as Donald Spoto and Barbara Leaming, there is tangible proof that Clark, while using tidbits of truth he may have observed on the set of the movie, never had a chance to be with Marilyn alone for long enough, to, well, do much of anything.
The documented evidence proves that during the very week that "My Week With Marilyn" was supposed to occur, Ms. Monroe was in hospital suffering a miscarriage (which Clark moved up to a different date)! Arthur Miller had flown back to join her during this "week" also.
Thus, NO "Week with Marilyn" EVER happened. Clark's deceased now, like so many of the Monroe parasites. Therefore, I hope he's enjoying his dirty money.
The threat of Libel has NEVER stopped a number of bottom-feeders who never met Marilyn from making quite a comfortable living off of her, while portraying her as an empty-headed, simpering sl-t. She has no "family" to stop it.
If you are a fan of MM, and do not care to see her once again represented as a TRAMP who cannot stay faithful EVEN on her honeymoon, then I'd skip this one.
Buy the biographies I mentioned or "Marilyn and Me" by Susan Strasberg, if you crave a memoir. At least Susan KNEW MM. Rent or buy biographical DVDs about her (with an eye out for the fu--fakers). Rent or buy her movies.
Besides, who wants to see another horrible "impersonation" by an actress whos is not even pretty? MW should have played Dame Sybil Thorndyke, not Marilyn. Monroe was inimitable, a magnificent, exquisite, magically beautiful child-like woman, who's flesh-impact lights up the movie-screen over 50 years after her untimely death. It's preposterous to have anyone less than beautiful cast in that role, as physical appeal was over 75% of what MM was about on screen.
