Her unforgettable image is seared into the minds of fans
everywhere, and her private life continues to inspire headlines and
controversy, but Marilyn Monroe is one of the most famous—and
misunderstood—women in the world who remains a mystery to most
people. On Marilyn cuts through the rumors and myths to present the
real person behind the queen of movies and pop culture. From her
chaotic childhood in Depression-era Los Angeles to her rise in the
world of Hollywood and finally her untimely death—On Marilyn
explores the legendary star’s family history, connection to the
movies from childhood, her personal life as an adult, and her
interest in continually educating herself. On Marilyn is
compulsively readable—instead of chronological dates and dry
accounts of events, there are chapters about specific aspects of
her life and career. What did Marilyn like to eat? What types of
books did she read? Was she really plus size? Did she nearly bring
down a political empire? And how did she actually die? This book
explores everything—and vividly brings to light the truth about
the world’s greatest movie star.
