I never read books quickly, but I read this over two days. I have always felt something for Marilyn- love, understanding, and respect.This book ends abruptly and I feel it is incomplete. Much like her own life, ending too soon. I am not disappointed as I know she shows parts of herself that she wants us to see and the dozens of biographers since her death have filled in the rest for us.What makes this special is that it is her own words. Her own musings on life, love, and men and women in general.Regardless of whether you have read other bios or not, this is an excellent read for any Marilyn fan, and the photos are worth their weight in gold.
Newly interested in the person that was Marilyn Monroe (as opposed to her work), I figured I'd start with the subject herself as she saw herself. Part justification, part autobiography, this is an unfinished work that ends abruptly just as Monroe is about to entertain the troops in Korea. There are sections that read like a savvy but not particularly reflective young actor/star, trying to save or justify her career and there are sections that seem too articulate and self aware, and almost prescient, which ring untrue and make the work feel as though it's been tampered with.Compelling but incomplete, with sections that feel fabricated by someone other than the author.
I read Marilyn's story as a teenager. It was a wonderful little book and an essential for every fan of Marilyn. I thought I was getting that book, the one heavy on story with a few personal photos included. I was mistaken. This one is oversized and has been "updated" to include a ton of photos. While it isn't a bad thing to have photos of Marilyn, this "update" has ruined the feel of the book for me. I just wanted her memoir, the story she sat down and wrote with Ben Hecht. Instead I got Hollywood.
This is definitely a great book especially with the never before seen photos. It’s great reading about Marilyn in her own words especially being such a fan of hers.
Very nice coffee table type book with some nice quality photos, but at only 185 pages (large type) including many photos, the story is very lightweight and ends abruptly on honeymoon with Joe DiMaggio.The writing sounds like Marilyn talking and shows that she was more intelligent than most in Hollywood, but also shows that she had a lot of problems relating to most people (except children), whether rich or poor, male or female, and had a real inferiority complex because of her childhood and lack of competent parenting (that she obsessed into huge permanent emotional scars). On one hand she was totally confused as to why she was considered a sex symbol, when she didn't have any sex drive. On the other hand, she was as comfortable nude as she was dressed, and she knew exactly why men chased her when she wore tight clothes (she preferred wearing as tight as possible, some sewn to her body). Seemingly, her only ambition was to be a star, yet she didn't respect movie stars, and she was increasingly immobilized with stage fright, which in turn increased her medications.Marilyn could get very few female friends because of jealousy and the married males were afraid of their wives, she avoided single males on her own, so she was very lonely. She does show that Hollywood was so completely screwed up in those days that the studios originally thought she was 'not photogenic' and it took the public to demand more of her presence in the movies (she claims to have refused the 'casting couch'.I see a lot of reviews that think that these are not her words, it can never be proven, but I believe they are completely wrong. I don't believe Ben Hecht would even consider editing her words, and Ben had too good a reputation for anybody to change his writings. This sounds like Marilyn through and through; confused, lonely, obsessed, so driven but vulnerable.There are better books about Marilyn (much worse ones also), but this is her story, in her own words with some nice photos. I would have appreciated more photos for this type book (there has to be millions more photos available), and I wouldn't recommend this book for a first purchase (see Anthony Summers 1984 Goddess).The recent movie `My Week With Marilyn' is taken from a diary written during filming of `Prince and Showgirl' is excellent. The `Premiere Collection' is 17 DVD's of 17 of Marilyn's movies, very reasonably priced (some of early movies have very little of Marilyn, however, and collection is missing a couple of must-have movies). `Marilyn Monroe Metamorphosis' by Wills & Schmidt is a better and larger collection of glossy photos than this volume, along with some interviews of her by news people (this is a larger coffee table type book of almost 300 pages).
Heart-breaking in its honesty, child-like wisdom, and openness. I have loved Marilyn for decades, yet this book made me feel I knew her for the first time. If you want to see the inner Marilyn, this book, is a must-read.
