Marilyn Monroe

Maurice Zolotow

4.9/5 (33800 ratings)

Description:A Plain and quiet girl, born out of wedlock, raised in an institution and a series of foster homes, violated when just a child, so uncertain of herself that she developed a psychosomatic stutter, underprivileged and unloved, consumed by naïve dreams—what connection could there be between such a creature and the fantastically beautiful, internationally famous star, now acknowledged as an accomplished actress, and possibly the most powerful commercial attraction in the world today?The connection is made brilliantly and dramatically clear in this compelling biography, the result of six years' research and one solid year's writing by the author who has earned the sobriquet of "the Boswell of Broadway".Intrigued by the Marilyn Monroe legend, Maurice Zolotow undertook the near-impossible task of separating the fact from the fiction, the maid from the myth. He succeeded, and found the real person far more fascinating than the fancy.He has developed this life story from its simple beginnings through humour and heartbreak, tragedy and triumph, to its present zenith. Scores of personal interviews, voluminous correspondence, and a search across a continent and an ocean have produced the ingredients of this touching and comprehensive study.Anecdotal, yet carefully detailed and psychologically astute, it is also a book that describes the process of acting before the motion-picture cameras and gives us a vivid portrait of Hollywood. Mr. Zolotow, whose book brings the Marilyn Monroe saga right up to date, has cast it in terms of human hope and fulfilment which make it a reading experience of scope and depth, and something more than just another "human interest" biography.Dry, sophisticated and ironic in its approach, this book is less an adventurous and heroic life story of a so-called movie sex symbol than it is a sociological study of an historically important woman.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
