Norman Mailer's 1973 biography of Marilyn Monroe (usually designated Marilyn: A Biography) was a large-format book of glamor photographs of Monroe for which Mailer supplied the text. Originally hired to write an introduction by Lawrence Schiller, who put the book package together, Mailer expanded the introduction into a long essay. In the book's final chapter, Mailer expresses his belief that Monroe was murdered by agents of the FBI and CIA who resented her supposed affair with Robert F. Kennedy. In his own 1987 autobiography Timebends, the dramatist Arthur Miller, Monroe's last husband, wrote scathingly of Mailer: "[Mailer] was himself in drag, acting out his own Hollywood fantasies of fame and sex unlimited and power."
