Belle, endommagée, ultime symbole sexuel, célébrée publiquement mais malheureuse en privé - la vie tumultueuse de Marilyn Monroe et sa mort prématurée continuent de nous fasciner. Lorsque Marilyn Monroe est devenue célèbre dans les années 1950, on disait que sa mère était soit morte, soit absente de sa vie. Cependant, cela n'était pas vrai.

Dans ce livre novateur, J. Randy Taraborrelli dresse des portraits complexes et sympathiques des femmes influentes dans la vie de l'actrice, y compris sa mère, sa mère d'accueil et son tuteur légal.

Explosif, révélateur et étonnamment émouvant, La Vie secrète de Marilyn Monroe est le dernier mot sur la vie de l'une des icônes les plus fascinantes et insaisissables du vingtième siècle.
