My Story

Product Information

My Story is an unfinished autobiography, written by actress and starlet Marilyn Monroe, describes her early adolescence, her rise in the film industry from bit player to celebrity, and her marriage to Joe DiMaggio. She spent much of her childhood in foster homes and later began a career as a model which lead to a film contract in 1946. Having listened to this and watched the first hour of the film, I wonder what planet the film makers are on.

Eventually, though, Hecht seemed to see her emotional reaction as an advantage for him, for as he remarked, “the moment a true thing comes out of her mouth, her eyes shed tears. Hecht's abandoned work was later revised and published by photographer Milton Greene, who established rights to the manuscript and whose photos of Monroe are included in the book. Elton John's famous tribute to her story, Candle In The Wind likens her to a candle in the wind "never knowing who to turn to when the rain came in " and at least in this story which certainly captures her vulnerability, we see that to be true.There has been so much trash out there about this tragic woman, including the latest 'Blonde' artistic fantasy. Her "dumb blonde" persona was used to comic effect in subsequent films such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and The Seven Year Itch (1955).

As far as I can make out, women's friendships with each other are based on a gush of lies and pretty speeches than mean nothing. The most chilling words in this "memoir" are the prescient vision she had of herself as "the kind of girl they found dead in the hall bedroom with an empty bottle of sleeping pills in her hand. Her fame persisted long after her tragic death—but as time has gone by, it has become almost impossible to separate the legend of the woman born as Norma Jeane from the truth. I lied because I was ashamed to have the world know my mother was in a mental institution--and that I had been born "out of wedlock" and never heard my illegal father's voice.

A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. The icon's name alone brings to mind a mutant from the X-Men comic books, like Raven Darkhölme/ Mystique. This is a heartbreaking, warm and witty look into her life journey -- and a fascinating chance to get an inside peek into her mind. Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926 and baptized Norma Jeane Baker, in Los Angeles, California. No entanto esta personalidade é uma das personalidades que mais me tem inspirado ao longo da minha curta vida.
