Marilyn Monroe - The Biography (Paperback, New edition)

She has been in the grave for a long time and she is still the most famous woman of the 20th century, the articulated doll of the myth-makers and fantasists. After all the speculation and slush here at last is a hard-working biography to trust. It does justice to the warm intelligent personality behind the little-girl-lost-but-I-could-be-yours image. (Kirkus UK)

MARILYN MONROE is the most celebrated and controversial female icon of the 20th century. At last, Donald Spoto has produced an acclaimed biography worthy of this extraordinary and unforgettable star. With access to more than 35,000 pages of formerly sealed documents and interviews with 150 people who have never spoken on record before, Spoto's definitive biography reveals the truth behind the myths and speculations surrounding Marilyn's life and death. He exposes the falsehoods and casts new light on every aspect of Marilyn Monroe's 36 years: her dramatic childhood; her marriages; her relationships with movie moguls; politicians, poets, artists and statesmen. But most astonishing of all, he presents the reality of her death - more horrifying than anything a Hollywood screenwriter could have devised. Moving, often shocking, always absorbing, Marilyn Monroe will stand as the ultimate and compulsively readable biography of the woman who continues to enthrall millions. 'Not just sensational, but sensationally good' - Sunday Telegraph 'At long last Marilyn Monroe has found her knight in shining armour...[her] true story has been revealed' - Daily Mirror 'An impressive reminder of the tough, triumphalist Norma Jean...for once she has a biographer worthy of her' - JULIE BURCHILL, Sunday Times
