My Story

Product Information

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. 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. Her production company, Mariln Monroe Productions, released The Prince and The Showgirl for which she received a BAFTA Award nominationand, won a David di Donatello award.

Though officially classified as a "probable suicide", the possibility of an accidental overdose, as well as of homicide, have not been ruled out.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. Her dramatic performance in Bus Stop (1956) was hailed by critics and garnered a Golden Globe nomination.

The heartbreaking part is that the great acceptance and recognition she so longed for did finally arrive .The completed memoir was also supposed to include her ascension to stardom, Gentleman Prefer Blondes, the death of her Aunt Grace, and her wish to give birth to a child. DJ glossy with a photograph of younger Marilyn on front, her face on spine, praise on back, many photographs throughout that are not published elsewhere, some in color. Porque será que o ser humano só reconhece o talento dos verdadeiros artistas depois de eles estarem mortos? There is apparently some doubt as to whether or not Marilyn actually wrote the words in this book, or if someone else did it for her. These accounts are more candid than I expected, particularly when they come to Monroe's openness about her depression and feelings of intellectual inferiority.
