About this product
Product Information
Since her death, Marilyn Monroe has been the subject of some 600 books, all of which claim to uncover the real Marilyn . But the biographies can t agree on many of the most sensational details of the life of the twentieth century's most famous woman. Rather than promising another definitive life , Sarah Churchwell's book looks at the writing of Marilyn Monroe's many life stories, comparing the competing versions of some of the key moments in her life including: her father's identity, her mother's mental problems, her alleged childhood molestation, her teenage marriage, stories of prostitution and the casting couch, her own psychological problems, her marriages to two other legends, her difficulties on the set and with directors, her affairs with one or both of the Kennedy brothers, and of course the highly charged debates about her death. Churchwell looks at how these stories have continued to trivialise a woman we supposedly worship , and explains what the stories reveal about our attitudes to sex symbols and icons, to women, sex, and death, to biography as an enterprise and to Marilyn herself.Product Identifiers

Marilyn
It is a wonderful book part history, part biography which tells us a great deal not only about Marilyn, but about the USA she lived in and about ourselves. And it is beautifully writtenVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
