Description
She vigorously played the dumb-blonde stereotype in her movie roles, but there is nothing at all dumb about Marilyn Monroe. Born to a single mother who suffered from severe mental illness, the odds were stacked against the girl originally named Norma Jeane from the very beginning. She became a ward of the state and bounced around from foster home to foster home. The fact that she rose from such impoverished beginnings to become one of the top-billed acts in Hollywood speaks for itself. Inside you will read about... ✓ From Foster Child to Movie Star ✓ The Scene with the White Dress ✓ Marilyn the Jew ✓ Diagnosis of Paranoid Schizophrenia ✓ Marilyn’s First Overdose ✓ The Presidential Affair ✓ Locked in the Psych Ward And much more! Discover the life and legend that is Marilyn Monroe.
