Overview
Born Norma Jeane Baker, Marilyn Monroe endured a
fragmented childhood in foster homes and an orphanage,
marked by her mother’s hereditary mental illness and the
absence of a known father. This book traces the extraordinary
yet turbulent life of Monroe, one of Hollywood’s most enduring
golden-age legends.
Despite early typecasting as a “dumb blonde,” she fought to
prove her acting prowess. Beyond glamour, she challenged
Hollywood’s glass ceiling, demanding creative control and fair
treatment. More than a star’s story, it’s a poignant exploration of
fame, gender, and resilience.
