1. Confidante
How Colin Clark became Marilyn Monroe's confidante during the filming of 'The Prince and the Showgirl'. Read by Samuel Barnett.
In 1956, Colin Clark worked as a 'gofer' on the set of 'The Prince and the Showgirl', the film that disastrously united Laurence Olivier with Marilyn Monroe.
23-year-old Colin was fresh from Eton and Oxford 鈥� the younger brother of politician and famous diarist Alan and younger son of Kenneth 'Lord Clark of Civilisation'.
In this beautifully written memoir, he recalls how, during filming, he became Monroe's confidante and spent an idyllic week helping her to escape from the pressures of stardom through a series of sweetly innocent adventures.
Abridged in five parts by Robin Brooks.
Read by Samuel Barnett.
Producer: Kirsteen Cameron
