3.0 out of 5 stars Norma Jean is as much about an era as a person, 18 Mar 1998
By A Customer
With careful attention to the social climate of her life Marilyn Monroe's pscyhe is revealed as tellingly as her body was in the famous calender photos. Norma Jean addresses the inevitability of Monroe's multiple marriages and disintegration into depression. The reader will empathise with this driven young woman who seemed to "have it all" and tragically had nothing. The lonely childhood and increasingly isolated adult years of Monore are presented against the backdrop of a world that idolized her without sympathizing with her. The book is a great read for femenist, film buffs, Monroe fans and anyone interested in Tweniteth century American culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars All you need to know?, 3 Jan 2008
By F. A. Penney "Fraser Penney" (Edinburgh, Scotland UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of the best biographies on Marilyn, it's was started in her lifetime and first published in 1969 in the U.K.
It was last updated in the 1990's. Just read it for yourself. It comes close to capturing the truth about Marilyn Monroe. The first book I had on her, one of the first books I had to feature 'grown up' content. As a pre-pubescent youth I became facinated by Marilyn, and I will always be proud to have it on my bookshelves among my most prized books.
