In 1956, fresh from Oxford University, Colin Clark began work as a lowly assistant on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl, starring Sir Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe. Monroe, on honeymoon with new husband Arthur Miller, was insecure, often late, and heavily medicated. Olivier, obsessively punctual, had no patience for Monroe and the production became chaotic. Clark recorded it all in two unforgettable diaries –the first a charming fly-on-the-wall account of life as a gofer on the set; the other a heartfelt, intimate, and astonishing remembrance of the week Clark spent escorting Monroe around England, earning the trust and affection of one of the most desirable women in the world. Published together for the first time, the books are the basis for the upcoming major motion picture My Week With Marilyn starring Michelle Williams, Judi Dench, and Kenneth Branagh.
