Overview

Written at the height of her fame but not published until over a decade after her death, this autobiography of actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) poignantly recounts her childhood as an unwanted orphan, her early adolescence, her rise in the film industry from bit player to celebrity, and her marriage to Joe DiMaggio. In this intimate account of a very public life, she tells of her first (non-consensual) sexual experience, her romance with the Yankee Clipper, and her prescient vision of herself as "the kind of girl they found dead in the hall bedroom with an empty bottle of sleeping pills in her hand."

Overview

Written at the height of her fame but not published until over a decade after her death, this autobiography of actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) poignantly recounts her childhood as an unwanted orphan, her early adolescence, her rise in the film industry from bit player to celebrity, and her marriage to Joe DiMaggio. In this intimate account of a very public life, she tells of her first (non-consensual) sexual experience, her romance with the Yankee Clipper, and her prescient vision of herself as "the kind of girl they found dead in the hall bedroom with an empty bottle of sleeping pills in her hand." The Marilyn in these pages is a revelation: a gifted, intelligent, vulnerable woman who was far more complex than the unwitting sex siren she portrayed on screen. Lavishly illustrated with photos of Marilyn, this special book celebrates the life and career of an American icon—-from the unique perspective of the icon herself.

    Wonderful

    A truly poignant look into her life. You can hear her voice throughout the book. The spirit of this complex and interesting woman is captured on every page. The photographs are beautiful and the book does great justice to Marilyn Monroe's humanity.

    Poor Marilyn

    I had no idea she had such an awful childhood & teen yrs. Later on in the book she goes into her thoughts about love & men. Nothing revealing here. No notes on the Kennedy's, the pictures included in the book are beautiful, she was gorgeous.

    Amazing.

    This book gives her side of the story. Marilyn Monroe is like no one else. She saw things differently. If you are a fan of her i would suggest this book to you.
