As I've said before I am an avid collector of books based on Marilyn Monroe.
Each author has a different angle, a different take on who Marilyn was. In my opinion some of these authors tend to be a bit biased. They focus more on the sensational stories of her life. Unfortunately, her portrayal in these books only scrape the tip of the iceberg. No one will ever really know who Marilyn was, not even those who knew her. She was a changeling in one body. That was the brilliance of this woman. Monroe was a character, one that she could turn on and off. The glamour and sexuality of Marilyn Monroe was created by Ms. Norma Jean herself. While many myths and bios of Marilyn paint her as a schizophrenic, manic, vapid, ditzy,broken and loose mess she was the complete opposite. Marilyn was intelligent, She loved diving into books and writing poetry. She had a deep passion for politics and civil rights. She also created the "dumb blonde" persona many believed to be real.
