This is Marilyn as you've never seen her. Not just the impossibly beautiful movie star or the insecure celebrity, but the loyal daughter, the loving sister, the complex woman caught up in a lifelong quest to belong.
Written by one of our most acclaimed biographers, J.Randy Taraborrelli, this hook is at last a balanced, insightful and moving portrait of the real Marilyn Monroe with all her contradictions. By talking to new sources who are speaking publicly about Marilyn for the first time, Taraborrelli is able to expose and dispel the many myths that surround her life and death.
With a wealth of new information about her childhood, we can finally understand her strengths and vulnerabilities. When Marilyn Monroe became famous in the 1950s, the world was told that her mother was either dead or simply not a part of her life. That was not true. In fact, her mentally ill mother always had been very much present in Marilyn's world and the complex family dynamic that unfolded behind the scenes is a story that is told here for the first time. Taraborrelli draws sympathetic portraits of the women so influential in the actress' life, including her mother, her foster mother, her legal guardian and her half-sister.
He gives insights into her love affairs with Sinatra, DiMaggio and Miller and new information on her relationships with the Kennedys - Bobby, Jack and Pat Lawford Kennedy. He examines what evidence really exists on the many theories published about this time in her life - and comes to a conclusion that will surprise many. He also reveals, for the first time, the shocking scope of Marilyn's own mental illness, and the lonely battle she fought with her own mind.
Taking the reader on a powerful journey, this is the final word on the life of one of the most fascinating and elusive icons of the twentieth century.
