'It's always the same,' she told her analyst. 'The man goes to sleep with Marilyn Monroe and wakes up with me. In the years before her death, Marilyn Monroe visited a psychoanalyst several times a week. Her analyst, Dr Ralph Greenson, was the last person to see her alive and first to see her dead.

Schneider ... writes Monroe so authentically that you often forget this is simply his imagined version of the last four years of her life ... A joy' - Psychologies
