Picking up where the first volume of Ms. Monroe's bestselling memoirs left off, Life Among the Cannibals continues the story of the late star's life and times, ending with her death and funeral in October 2003. Following Monroe through the tumultuous years of political upheaval, assassination, and her own personal triumphs, this second volume explains how she earned her a spot on President Nixon's Enemies List, which film projects she took on, and how she became known not as the sex symbol of the Fifties but as Hollywood's Conscience. Having been granted unprecedented access to the late star's papers by authorization of her family, this second volume of Marilyn Monroe's biography is the culmination of two and a half years of intensive research, including interviews with many of her costars, family members, and such notables as Hillary Clinton, Jane Fonda, and Aaron Sorkin. The result is a detailed look at Monroe's response to the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights and Women's Movements, as well as her role in the AIDS crisis and her growing interest in politics. Along the way she meets with such figures as Nancy Reagan, Janis Joplin, Mikhail Gorbachev, Dick Cavett, Kitty Kelley, Pat Nixon, and Peter Bogdanovich.
