I like her photographs very much - I have 3 or 4 of her books. I would like to have seen that documentary. When I first heard about her life and her marriage to Arthur Miller I wondered to myself what sort of a woman she must be to have succeeded Marilyn Monroe. Then about 4 years ago I went to a talk that she gave to a very small audience - she was one of the most charming, likeable people you could possibly imagine. She lit up the room with her personality. -- Cheers, Bob
