May Mann, born May Vasta Randall,[3] (September 1, 1908 - April 15, 1995)[2] was a Hollywood columnist and freelance writer.

She befriended several celebrities like Marilyn Monroe and wrote books about Elvis Presley, Clark Gable, and Jayne Mansfield.

The articles she wrote from these meetings were successful, and movie studios paid for her transportation to and from Hollywood in order for her to continue the good publicity.

As such she received a telegram from Monroe setting up a call for a specific time to confide to Mann that she and Arthur Miller would be wed 'at midsummer" but was told, 'don't print it yet.'

Mann later reported on Marilyn Monroe's wedding to Arthur Miller (after it was announced) for the New York Tribune.

[6] Mann reported on what she considered to be an "inept probe" into her close friend, Marilyn Monroe's untimely death.

"[5] Mann interviewed Mae West,[3] Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable,[11][12] Joan Crawford,[13][14] Jayne Mansfield, and Mary Pickford.

Writing for The Daily Herald in Chicago, John Lampinen wrote that the book was "classic Hollywood pulp" showing only Elvis's "promotional image.

[18][19] Mann was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and abstained from smoking or drinking her whole life.

[8] An evening gown and shawl that had previously belonged to Marilyn Monroe had been in Mann's possession until 1992 when she gave it to Arlene and Milt Larsen to exhibit at the Magic Castle Museum.
