Most of the chapters are pretty short, little tidbits of stories about her life growing up, how she broke into the business, her first loves etc. Its too bad she didn't continue writing it, because it ends a bit abruptly (not because of her death, it ends right after her marriage to Joe DiMagio). Definitely recommended to any Marilyn fan. ( ) My only disappointment with this autobiography is that MM didn’t continue writing it during her glory years. Perhaps the glory years didn’t allow her enough time to commit to it. This is a fascinating insight to Marilyn’s childhood and early years as a struggling actress. It’s very much a rags to riches story, albeit it cuts off at the outset of the riches period. I felt sorry for Marilyn during her girlhood. This unwanted "orphan" was good-hearted yet unable to build friendships, owing to being sent to different homes, and often being kicked out through other children blaming her for things she didn't do, such as ripping another child's clothes. Her introduction to the film world and the painstaking efforts she had to win parts is also an absorbing read. Overall, this great book is a sad story that isn’t without hope. Marilyn Monroe is a fascinating woman, even years after her death. This unfinished memoir started with her less-than-happy childhood and follows her rise to fame. It was interesting to read about her experiences at Hollywood parties, where she never truly felt like she fit in and preferred to stand aside and watch everyone. She was a woman of many layers and surprising depth. I'm eager to read more about her. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: 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 iconâ??-from the unique perspective of the icon herself.
