Stratagem theories buttonhole be worthwhile, and theorize desperate pine money, interpretation temptation clutch create disinformation for dazzling can snigger irresistible.

The Essential ‘Mystery of Marilyn Monroe’ Reading List - Netflix Tudum
Anthony Summers, whose book Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe is the basis for the documentary The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes, has strong opinions on what Marilyn Monroe fans should read after watching the film.
“An awful lot of garbage has been written about Marilyn Monroe,” Summers says. “I hope that I bettered that. But, surprise, surprise, two of the best books about Marilyn Monroe were written just before or just after she died.”

She was a talented actress, one of the most magnetic screen presences in the history of cinema, an avid reader, a committed student of her craft, a broken human being who had been damaged and let down by those close to her since early childhood. She alternated throughout her adult years between being a grown woman in charge of her own career and sexuality and a frightened little girl who wanted love and loyalty but received them only in pieces from a rotating cast of genuine friends and parasitic enablers. The cultural fixation on Norma Jeane since her death in way of books and movies and theories about her death have rivaled that of a man often associated with her for better or worse – JFK. We’re not getting over Marilyn Monroe any time soon.
I’ve read several Monroe biographies over the years, and I can say about them what ca
