Synopsis
In 1956, fresh from Oxford, the 23-year-old Colin Clark worked as a humble ‘gofer’ on the set of 'The Prince and the Showgirl'. The film united Britain's leading actor, Laurence Olivier, with Hollywood's most glamorous sex symbol, Marilyn Monroe - and clashes between them entered film legend.
For one glorious week, the world's biggest star sought comfort in the arms of the set's most junior employee. This is the frank, fresh and comic story of how Clark came to share Monroe's confidences - and her bed!
Clark’s extraordinary experiences on and off set have now been turned into a major film starring Michelle Williams, Eddie Redmayne, Judi Dench, Emma Watson, Kenneth Branagh and Dominic Cooper.

Review
'My favourite book of the year' Joan Collins 'This book is sheer delight...wonderfully funny...by the end of this short but richly packed chronicle, Colin Clark seems like an old friend...he is blessed with a sharp eye and an even sharper pen' Sunday Telegraph 'The marvellous traumas and stampings of feet of the stars are recorded through the eyes of a star struck youngster whose bedside prose is so sharp and polished' The Times 'The immediacy and charm of Clark's recollections are possibly more illuminating than the millions of words and pictures pumped out to expose or dish the dirt on the Monroe legend' Helen Osborne, Sunday Times 'Delightful: so observant and pleasing, and such enjoyable asides' Alan Clark (letter to Colin Clark) 'Beguiling, touching and compassionate' Melanie McGrath, Evening Standard 'An extraordinary story' Frank Johnson, Spectator 'It's the funniest account of life in the booby-hatch that's a film studio known to me...It's not that I await [his next] diaries eagerly, but I'm planning to sneak into Clark's house and read them right this minute' Spectator 'Revealing, moving and deliciously funny' Daily Telegraph
