Marilyn Monroe

This week I've been reading, "Marilyn Monroe The Biography" by Donald Spoto
I've had this book for about 4 years now, I don't read it cover to cover, I like to choose a chapter and go from there. Since sixth grade I have been interested in and have collected Marilyn Monroe memorabilia. I have books, purses, ornaments, signed photos, signed playboys and a whole lot more. I'm not really sure what led me to this but I do know it started in sixth grade art class when we had to sketch a picture of someone and I chose her. The biography tells the story of her early life, all the way to her death. Marilyn's death has always been a mystery, perhaps that is part of the reason it intrigues me. In this biography, nobody is painting her to be how a lot of people or writers perceive her, as dumb and uneducated. I find her to be dedicated to her work, she worked really hard to be an actress, and even harder because she wasn't taken seriously. Her story is a sad one complete with a mother that didn't want her and a forced teen marriage, leading her to feel lonely an unimportant. To anyone that is also interested in her life and in her death, I would encourage you to read this specific biography.
