Description

Created at the peak of her popularity although not printed until over ten years after her death, this autobiography of actress and sex-symbol Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) poignantly recounts her youth being an unwanted orphan, her early adolescence, her increase in the movie business from bit player to superstar, and her marriage to Joe DiMaggio. Within this personal account of the very public life, she tells of her initial (non-consensual) sexual encounter, her love with the Yankee Clipper, and her prescient vision of himself as "the type of girl they found dead in the corridor room with a clear bottle of sleeping pills in her hand."The Marilyn in these websites is just a thought: a talented, smart, weak female who had been much more complicated compared to unsuspecting gender alarm she described on-screen. Lavishly illustrated with pictures of Marilyn, this book honors the life span and career of an American icon—-in the unique viewpoint of the image himself.
