  <default-description>Written at the height of her fame but not published until over a decade after her death, this autobiography of actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) poignantly recounts her childhood as an unwanted orphan, her early adolescence, her rise in the film industry from bit player to celebrity, and her marriage to Joe DiMaggio.</default-description>

It by no means aims for thoroughness, and in fact simply offers a series of brief, haunting accounts of episodes in her life, most of which have little or nothing to do with her stardom.  The first chapter, for instance, is called, &quot;How I Re...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/16771675">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Another really fabulous autobiography. I wish it was longer. It answers all the questions about Marilyn's youth and takes you up until she starts touring with the troops. She was a very smart lady. It does make me wonder, however, why every Marilyn biopic totally screws up the story of her youth.

    <body><![CDATA[I absolutly love Marilyn Monroe and reading a autobiography by her was awesome.  It only goes up the the time in her life when she met/married Joe DiMaggio but I wish it went further.  You can only learn about someone from their own words.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Marilyn was an okay person. She had a bipolar problem that if she lived in today's world could likely be corrected or helped anyway with medication. The photos in this book are very nice, I think. The foreword is also interesting. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's an amazing experience to read about Marilyn's life, in her own words.  I could just imagine sitting around the coffee table, chatting with her.  This book made her very real and even more intriguing.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I thought this was pretty good because it was how Marilyn perceived herself, but it just ends.  I felt like I needed to go out and read another book about Marilyn just to get the rest of the story.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I LOVE Marilyn Monroe.  This book has THE BEST pictures.  My favs are the ones of her without much makeup, more au naturel.  The read is nice and light, easy flowing.]]></body>
