Featuring a wealth of unpublished material, Andrew Wilson's biography of Marilyn Monroe presents the actress in a startling new light. Born Norma Jeane Mortenson, she had an uncertain and unforgiving upbringing with a mentally ill mother, an absent father and cruel foster parents. She grew up in Los Angeles and would dream about Hollywood, believing that acting would be her one-way ticket to happiness. Her dream was so powerful that she transformed herself into the ultimate goddess of the silver screen, and her image has been branded into the collective consciousness. Men lusted after her, and women wanted to be her. All her life, she just wanted to be loved. Told through 100 captivating snapshots, we are thrown into the glamorous but dangerous world of old Hollywood.
