Download As PDF : Before Marilyn The Blue Book Modelling Years eBook Astrid Franse Michelle Morgan 
Before Marilyn tells the story of Marilyn Monroe’s modelling career, during which time she was signed to the famous Blue Book Agency in Hollywood. The head of the agency, Miss Emmeline Snively, saw potential in the young woman and kept detailed records and correspondence throughout their professional relationship and beyond.
On the day of Monroe’s funeral, Snively gave an interview from her office, talking about the girl she had discovered, before announcing, rather dramatically, that she was closing the lid on her Marilyn Monroe archive that day – to ‘lock it away forever’.
This archive was purchased by Astrid Franse, and together with bestselling Marilyn Monroe biographer Michelle Morgan they draw on this collection of never-before-seen documents, letters and much, much more.
Before Marilyn explores an aspect of Monroe’s life that has never been fully revealed – by charting every modelling job she did, and illustrating the text with rare and unpublished photographs of the young model and her mentor.

What, only 5 stars? Need a lot more to express my love for this book. Thank you Miss Emmeline Snively for giving a young Norma Jeane a chance for fame and fortune. And thanks for holding on to all those photos and notes and memos. And special thanks to Astrid Franse for making the find of the century in that store that day and for holding on to everything in order to share with all us fans now. Michelle Morgan does a fine putting together all this material and getting this book published. There are scores of color and black and white photos not seen by this long time collector before. Sprinkled throughout the book are many photos you may have seen before but they are appropriately placed in the timeline of Marilyn's career. This book covers the modeling years and beyond with notes by Miss Snively made after Marilyn's modelling years. I highly recommend this book to Marilyn fans and aspiring models.Product details

Before Marilyn The Blue Book Modelling Years eBook Astrid Franse Michelle Morgan Reviews
This is an AMAZING book. Comprised largely of information from letters and photos once owned by Emmeline Snively, who was in charge of the Blue Book Modeling Agency, where Marilyn had gotten her first professional modeling jobs. The anecdotes and images are astounding. Most photos had not been seen in public since the 1950s, and Miss Snively's recollections--taken from the letters found in a box purchased from a dealer in Los Angeles by co-author Astrid Franse--reveal a tender, sensitive, innocent and quite funny Norma Jeane few got to see while she was alive and making her way up the success ladder (ladder, NOT casting couch).
Marilyn's struggles, concerns, and successes are expertly chronicled by Franse and co-author Michelle Morgan. Ms. Morgan, it should be noted, is also the author of a marvelous new Thelma Todd biography titled "Ice Cream Blonde" (Chicago Review Press (November 1, 2015).
If you are a serious MM fan, or an admirer in general of the Golden Age of Hollywood, then this volume is a must have. If you haven't a single MM book on your shelf, start with this one! It's a delightful book.
