Marilyn Monroe

How did the actress, who, under the name of Marilyn Monroe, displayed her physical attractiveness and acting talent on screens around the world, emerged from that humble girl named Norma Jean Baker, whose dramatic childhood and youth created in her a very acute complex of fear and insecurity? Maurice Zolotow, a contributor to the New York Times, among other important North American newspapers, offers us in this book the fruit of seven years of work dedicated to separating reality from fiction, the woman from the myth. Amena for the variety of anecdotes, cared for even in their smallest details and brilliant in the psychological study, this work, a story of a life, goes beyond the biographical theme and adds a vivid description of the peculiar environment of Hollywood.
