My Story

Product Information

I also struggle to harbour any warm feelings for a woman who perceives all other women as bitches who just aren’t good enough to satisfy their husbands. You’d think they were all wolves trying to seduce each other the way they flatter and flirt when they’re together. By 1952 she had her first leading role in Don't Bother to Knock and 1953 brought a lead in Niagara, a melodramatic film noir that dwelt on her seductiveness.

Porque será que o ser humano só reconhece o talento dos verdadeiros artistas depois de eles estarem mortos? Marilyn was a passionate reader, owning four hundred books at the time of her death, and was often photographed with a book. As her story continues to be reevaluated and retold, including in the forthcoming Netflix biopic Blonde, starring Ana de Armas, this book is the key to separating fact from fiction.Secondly, you don't have to sit around with a wolf and listen to a lot of double talk about income taxes and what's wrong with the situation in India while he gets up enough courage to get into action. The story behind My Story, the only book credited to Marilyn Monroe, is beguiling as almost everything that has orbited the screen sex goddess since her death in 1962 at the age of 36. Monroe's last completed film was The Misfits, co-starring Clark Gable with screenplay by her then-husband, Arthur Miller. Her early film appearances were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950), drew attention. In the decades following her death, she has often been cited as both a pop and a cultural icon as well as the quintessential American sex symbol.

I much prefer a man to be a wolf and, if he has decided to make a pass at me, to make it and have it over with. The Marilyn on these pages is a revelation: a gifted, intelligent, vulnerable woman who was far more complex than the unwitting sex siren she portrayed on screen. I know some of Marilyn's life from biographies, documentaries, her work and podcasts but never truly from her own words. After spending much of her childhood in foster homes, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946 with Twentieth Century-Fox. But then the image began to slip a bit, with stories of her various mishaps—her unreliability, her marital discords, her futile attempts to have a baby.Hearing the story in her words (if they are her words) satisfied some of that curiosity; she came across as a wounded, but spirited woman who always dreamed big, despite the odds. But when Grace talked about God, she touched my cheek and said that He loved me and watched over me.
