Randy Taraborrelli comes the definitive biography of the most enduring icon in popular American culture. <BR><BR>When Marilyn Monroe became famous in the 1950s, the world was told that her mother was either dead or simply not a part of her life. However, that was not true. In fact, her mentally ill mother was very much present in Marilyn's world and the complex family dynamic that unfolded behind the scenes is a story that has never before been told...until now. In this groundbreaking book, Taraborrelli draws complex and sympathetic portraits of the women so influential in the actress' life, including her mother, her foster mother, and her legal guardian. He also reveals, for the first time, the shocking scope of Marilyn's own mental illness, the identity of Marilyn's father and the half-brother she never knew, and new information about her relationship with the Kennedy's-Bobby, Jack, and Pat Kennedy Lawford. Explosive, revelatory, and surprisingly moving, this is the final word on the life of one of the most fascinating and elusive icons of the 20<SUP>th</SUP> Century. 6179506 25 8 2009 The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe total:59|5:14|4:11|3:7|2:2|1:1| 59 242 166 13 5 0 false false Sun Sep 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 07:53:44 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 07:54:00 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Sep 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 13 09:40:37 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 18:53:31 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Aug 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 15 17:52:13 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 04:42:00 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Oct 22 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 08 20:40:12 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 24 21:52:56 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat Oct 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 08:01:55 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 08:06:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Sep 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 01 18:35:04 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 03 18:18:28 -0700 2009 I really didnt know alot about Marilyn at all--I got it purely out of curiosity.
