In November 1960, Frank Sinatra gave Marilyn Monroe a dog. His name was Mafia Honey, or Maf for short. He had an instinct for celebrity. For politics. For psychoanalysis. For literature. For interior decoration. For Liver Treat with a side order of National Biscuits.
Maf was with Marilyn for the last two years of her life, first in New York, where she mixed with everyone who was anyone—the art dealer Leo Castelli, Lee Strasberg and the Actors Studio crowd, Upper West Side émigrés—then back to Los Angeles. She took him to meet President Kennedy and to Hollywood restaurants, department stores, and interviews. To Mexico, for her divorce.
With style, brilliance, and panache, Andrew O’Hagan has drawn a one-of-a-kind portrait of the woman behind the icon, and the dog behind the woman.

In November 1960, Frank Sinatra gave Marilyn Monroe a dog. His name was Mafia Honey. Maf for short. He had an instinct for celebrity. For politics. For psychoanalysis. For literature. For interior decoration. This is his story.
Given as a Christmas present to Marilyn the winter after she separated from Arthur Miller, Maf offers a keen insight into the world of Hollywood’s greatest star. Not to mention a hilarious peek into the brain of an opinionated, well-read, politically scrappy, complex canine hero.
Maf was with Marilyn for the last two years of her life, first in New York, where she mingled with everyone who was anyone: visiting Leo Castelli at his gallery, taking classes with Lee Strasberg and the Actors Studio set, gossiping about Truman Capote with Carson McCullers at the Oak Room, bantering with the Trillings at aPartisan Review party where Maf bites some big shots, watching Sammy Davis Jr. onstage at the Copacabana. Back in Los Angeles, Marilyn took Maf to meet President Kennedy, to the set of Something’s Got to Give, to Italian restaurants for spaghetti with Natalie Wood and Sinatra. “My fated companion,” Maf calls her. “She was always on the way to a discovery, to a large recognition that would change everything.”
With style, brilliance, and panache, Andrew O’Hagan has drawn an altogether original portrait of the woman behind the icon, and the dog behind the woman.
