About the book
“There I was - standing outside the yellow police “Do Not Cross” tape.” Dawn was breaking over the Hollywood hills. How was I going to handle this pack of hungry reporters? “Mr. Selsman, can you tell us what happened?” “Mike, how did she die?” “Was it suicide?” “What time was the body discovered?” “Michael, was anyone with her?”
I was in front of the most famous bungalow at that moment in the world, 12305 5th Helena Drive, in Brentwood. It was the last house Marilyn Monroe ever lived in. And I am, by attrition, her last press agent. Her body had been wheeled, lifeless, covered with a sheet, into a coroner’s van. “Mr. Selsman, Mr. Selsman,” I could hear the reporters’ questions echoing in my ears, the flash bulbs going off. I remembered back to the first time I ever met Marilyn Monroe.”
"All is Vanity" is a must read for anyone who loves the glamour days of old Hollywood and those that lived in it.
