People always see Marilyn Monroe. As soon as they realize I'm not her, they run.
In the early summer of 1956, 23 year-old Colin Clark, just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl, the film that famously united Sir Laurence Olivier and Marilyn Monroe.
Marilyn arrives like a ray of light in a grey world but as she struggles to adjust, Colin Clark becomes her confidant and guide through the personal and professional culture clash of working in England. From this unlikely alliance blossoms a relationship Colin would never forget...
