Praise for Michelle Morgan’s When Marilyn Met the Queen:
"The real strength of Morgan’s book is her ability to place four months in a famous woman’s life under a microscope: who she met, what she wore, how she felt. Monroe’s genuine excitement about meeting the Queen and her endless friendliness to the fans who loved her are endearing. What emerges is not only a close-up of Marilyn but also a picture of someone who, like many of us, romanticizes people and places only to find disappointment."
– The Toronto Star
"What is new here is not only the subtlety of this account, exploring the nuances of American and English culture, but also the comprehensive readings of how people — on set, in the streets, in chance encounters — responded to Monroe, including those who thought she was no big deal....This biography has a coda, a moving portrayal about how those who met and worked with Monroe on and off the set of 'The Prince and the Showgirl' reacted to her death. This deft addition to the story of events that occurred over only four months elevates 'When Marilyn Met the Queen' into a narrative of much greater significance than many biographies that deal with a whole life."
– The New York Sun
"Fans of Marilyn Monroe and the Golden Age of Hollywood will enjoy this slice of the actress’s life that she spent in England in 1956 ... While covering a relatively short period between July and November, the book is chock full of history, personal anecdotes, and beautiful details ... While highly detailed, this book is an effortless read that will take readers back in time and make them want to watch their favorite Marilyn Monroe film ... An enjoyable peek into the past that provides insight into Monroe’s life and the zeitgeist of 1950s England. Film buffs and fans of the era will enjoy Morgan’s biography, as will any reader interested in Monroe and her enduring legacy."
– Library Journal
"This compelling portrait of Marilyn Monroe reveals the layers of her private self. Michelle Morgan proves that the star was much more than a decorative blonde.”
– Lyndsy Spence, author and film journalist
"This was a good read, especially for anyone interested in the heyday of Hollywood with all it's dirty little secrets.”
– The New York Journal of Books
