EXCERPTS:

Miniature Handbag With Lipstick and Cigarettes
Inside the gold metal case are two loose dimes, eight Philip Morris cigarettes, a tube of lipstick and a plastic comb. The original cotton buffer for powder is still there, too.  (Circa 1947!)

 A Letter About Her Stay in a Psychiatric Clinic
Ms. Monroe also details how she slammed a chair into glass, then used a piece of the broken glass to threaten to hurt herself if she wasn’t released. But, she adds: “I’m an actress and would never intentionally mark or mar myself. I’m just that vain.”

Also a recipe, drawings, musings...
