![]() ...review by Kay Krewson | The Marilyn Monroe Party by Gloria Pall Published by Showgirl Press. 1993, 2002. USA. ISBN: - Details: Spiral-bound. ? pages. Contains: 22 pages of photocopies of newspaper articles and photographs. This is not a book per se, but rather a spiral-bound selection of photocopies from Gloria Pall's scrapbooks, detailing the time she attended a party for Marilyn Monroe. The party in question was the one that Ray Anthony threw for MM, and it was there that Ms. Pall achieved the impossible - stealing the limelight from Marilyn (as one journalist of the time put it, she "out-Monroed Monroe" with her cut-to-the-midriff dress). For those who are interested, I purchased this publication via mail from Ms. Pall at the following address - she still has copies to sell. Each copy is signed and numbered. | |
![]() Review: Roman Hrnyiszak, from Marilyn Monroe magazine shown above | "Miss Cleavage of 1952, Gloria Pall, has taken a chapter from her upcoming Story of a Showgirl and has bound it as a limited edition book. The party referred to is the party that Ray Anthony threw for Marilyn on 8/3/52. Gloria recounts her entrance to the party, and her ensuing brief conversation with Marilyn. Only thirteen pages of the book are text...the remaining pages are made up of articles about the party (several of which talk about Gloria), magazine covers that Gloria was on immediately following the party, and a few other pictures of Gloria. Though this only takes a few minutes to read, one can get a few good insights into the feel of this famous party." |
