Photographer and artist Mary Ann Lynch, who has been capturing offbeat Marilyn sightings worldwide since 1992, attended the recent launch of Larry Schiller’s Marilyn & Me : A Memoir in Words and Photographs, at New York’s Steven Kasher Gallery.

Here are some of Mary Ann’s exclusive images, with personal commentary, taken during the event.

We can also look forward to hearing more from Mary Ann Lynch, who promises: “There’ll be more to come on Lawrence Schiller and his career extraordinaire, epitomized by his tribute to Marilyn, the story of their unexpected, unlikely professional relationship during her last two tumultuous years. It was a relationship that would change both their lives at the time…and his forever.”

He succeeded with class and gusto, bringing out two separate versions of the memoir and mounting a photographic exhibition moving about Europe and the United States.  Continue reading →
