Summary

Marilyn Monroe, born to deprivation and a series of foster homes, became an acting legend of the 20th century. She married famous men, Joe DiMaggio and playwright Arthur Miller, and her many lovers included President John F. Kennedy. Her death, at 36, is a mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

Anthony Summers interviewed 600 people for this book, which reveals unknown truths, some funny, some very sad, about this brilliant but troubled woman. First to gain access to the files of Monroe's last psychiatrist, he throws light on Monroe's troubled psyche and her addiction to medications. He establishes once and for all that she was intimately involved with John and Robert Kennedy, who probably covered up the circumstances of her death.

Watched the documentary on this book which I found riveting. As the book was so long I didn’t think I’d get the same longing to hear a little bit more, but I did. Love all conspiracy theories and there is still so many flying around.
The narrator tells a good story and keeps you interested.
It’s a must for Monroe fans

Interesting forensic analysis of the death and background but too much unnecessary detail and read rather slowly.
