Taking an intriguingly innovative approach to the life and legend
of actress Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962), this biographical dictionary
concentrates on Marilyn's circle of friends, acquaintances and
coworkers--618 in all. Distilled from hundreds of celebrity
biographies are references to, and quotes about, the iconic
Hollywood sex symbol from such diverse personalities as architect
Frank Lloyd Wright, Israeli diplomat Abba Eban, beat poet Jack
Kerouac, novelist Somerset Maughan, jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald,
counterculture guru Timothy Leary and evangelist Aimee Semple
McPherson, to name but a few. All of these remarkable people have,
in one way or another, crossed paths with the magnificent Monroe.
Alphabetically arranged with source listings for further reading
and research, the entries in this volume confirm the fact that
Marilyn Monroe remains a figure of enduring fascination even five
decades after her death.
