1950s musical comedy starring Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell.
Accompanied by her stage partner and best friend, Dorothy Shaw
(Russell), showgirl Lorelei Lee (Monroe) sets sail for Paris, where
she plans to meet up with and marry her wealthy beau, Gus Esmond
Jr. (Tommy Noonan). However, Lorelei's love of diamonds threatens
to get both girls into a jam as Ernie Malone (Elliott Reid), the
private detective hired by Mr Esmund Sr. (Taylor Holmes) to keep a
close eye on his son's bride-to-be, joins them on the ship.
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."

Their cover is perfect… until a lovelorn singer (Marilyn Monroe) falls for "Josephine", an ancient playboy (Joe E. Brown) falls for "Daphne", and a mob boss (George Raft) refuses to fall for their hoax.
