Barris firmly believes that murder, not suicide, caused Marilyn's untimely end and he could not bring himself to publish her thoughts or the haunting photos of that summer - until now. "I feel I’m just getting started", she said. At their last meeting, she was effervescent and eager to embrace life.

They had met eight years earlier, became friends, and planned to do a picture book and autobiography. Famed photographer and reporter George Barris had come to see Marilyn on the set of what would be her final, unfinished, film. It was June 1, 1962, her thirty-sixth birthday.
