My Story

Product Information

The circumstances of her death, from an overdose of barbiturates, have been the subject of conjecture. Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926 and baptized Norma Jeane Baker, in Los Angeles, California. If this book had been a novel about a completely made-up person, I'd be utterly taken with it and its author.

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. Lavishly illustrated with photos of Marilyn, this special book celebrates the life and career of an American icon---from the unique perspective of the icon herself.

And there's one anecdote--about a nice young war veteran hawking miniature silver stars in Union Station who asks Norma Jean to marry him--which sounds just like one of Hecht's "cold city with a warm heart" vignettes, straight out of something like his own Miracle in the Rain. A legendary actress, comedienne, and sex symbol, she has been one of Hollywood’s most talked-about performers ever since she first crossed the silver screen. Later, when she began to “develop,” she felt alienated from her own body, and thought of it as something other than herself, her “magic friend.

E por fim por dois anos ou três passou uma série na TV intitulada "Smash" que foi inspirada na figura de Marilyn Monroe. You’d think they were all wolves trying to seduce each other the way they flatter and flirt when they’re together. Little known and long unavailable, this autobiography, written by actress and starlet Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962), describes her early adolescence, her rise in the film industry from bit player to celebrity, and her marriage to Joe DiMaggio.In the decades following her death, she has often been cited as both a pop and a cultural icon as well as the quintessential American sex symbol. Her dramatic performance in Bus Stop (1956) was hailed by critics and garnered a Golden Globe nomination. She didn't know her father, and her mother was sent to a mental institution when Marilyn was little! The story behind My Story, the only book credited to Marilyn Monroe, is beguiling as almost everything that has orbited the screen sex goddess since her death in 1962 at the age of 36.

Her dumb blonde character was used in such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire and The Seven Year Itch. 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.I also struggle to harbour any warm feelings for a woman who perceives all other women as bitches who just aren’t good enough to satisfy their husbands. First of all, a pass is never entirely unpleasant because men who make passes are usually bright and good-looking. No entanto esta personalidade é uma das personalidades que mais me tem inspirado ao longo da minha curta vida.

Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson; June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962) was an American actress, model, and singer, who became a major sex symbol, starring in a number of commercially successful motion pictures during the 1950s and early 1960s. In this intimate account of a very public life, she tells of her first (non-consensual) sexual experience, her romance with the Yankee Clipper, and her prescient vision 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 early film appearances were minor but her performance in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve were well received. From its unflinching account of her desperately poor childhood to its firsthand look at the inside of the Hollywood fame machine, My Story gives us the Marilyn nobody else saw. After she was mysteriously found dead of a drug overdose at the age of 36, the movie star became a beloved pop icon.

She taught me a very important lesson: not to judge people, and to know that when I judge people I actually judge myself!
