Editorial Review:
At Fox she was the blonde everyone preferred. Marilyn Monroe: Platinum Fox celebrates the twenty films and character portrayals Marilyn brought to life at 20th Century-Fox. The relationship between star and studio spanned the entire length of her career, a time in which Marilyn became the studio's most valuable asset while evolving from a pretty brown-haired girl in a blue pinafore who passed before the camera in a flash to the sizzling platinum blonde who splashed seductively in a pool in her last moments on film. Illustrated with hundreds of photos from the Fox archives (many published here for the first time), this unique volume is filled with behind-the-scenes notes, trivia, film storylines, and character profiles. The images coupled with quotes by the wittiest screenwriters of the day, plus memorable moments created with Hollywood's leading directors and cinematographers, show why Marilyn remains the most incandescent star the screen has ever known.
Marilyn Monroe: Platinum Fox Reviews:
Beautiful Coffee Table Book 
2009-10-24 - Any Marilyn fan will be delighted with this book. Full of color and b/w photos, many I have never seen, as well as color examples of lobby cards and posters. Will be great in any film library or desk. I consider it a mus for the MM fan!
1 Star 
2008-12-18 - This book is terrible. There's no new information at all. One of the worst books I have ever read!
Beyond Expatations
2008-08-04 - This is one of many books I have about Marilyn, and it is far and above any of the other books by a long way....The quality of paper to the quality of writing is supurior to all the rest... There are pictures in this book that are NOT in any of the other tomes written about her...
Best investment I've made in a long, long time
Great coffee table book 
2008-03-24 - I bought this as a gift for my sister, Marilyn. It has "never before seen photos" of Marilyn Monroe plus her own notes attached to the pictures. The price was about 50% less than a well-known book store.
Nice Book
2008-02-19 - Really nice book with some "new" photos I haven't seen before. Though I'm puzzled by the book designer's choice of illustration style-making Marilyn seem like a brunette on the cover.
