Customer Reviews

If you want to know more about Marilyn Monroe, read this.

Most books about Marilyn Monroe take one of two stances; the lost girl who never found her home or the spotlight-loving dumb blonde who overdosed. This book doesn't do that. It simply presents the facts and let's you make up your own mind. Filled with receipts, hand-written letters, and gorgeous photographs this book provide a glimpse into Marilyn Monroe's life.
