Marilyn Monroe ist bis heute eine faszinierende, rätselhafte Frau.

Ein gut lesbares Buch über die unvergessene Monroe ein Jahr vor ihrem 80. Geburtstag 2006.

Sent på kvällen den 4 augusti 1962 dog Marilyn Monroe av en överdos barbiturater i sitt hem 12305 5th Helena Drive i Los Angeles-stadsdelen Brentwood. Obducenten Thomas Noguchi uppgav att dödsorsaken med största sannolikhet var självmord. Men sexsymbolens död omges av mystik än i dag drygt femtiofem år senare. Blev Marilyn mördad? Begick hon medvetet självmord eller var det ett medicinskt misstag? "Marilyn Monroe 1926 - 1962" handlar om Marilyns sista dag i livet och den mest sannolika dödsorsaken.
ur Bokens förord: Det här är Marilyn Monroes egen berättelse om sitt liv, så som jag menar att hon hade velat ha den. Jag har levt länge med henne, därför att jag känner mig besläktad med henne. Min mamma föddes två år före henne och på-minde om Marilyn. Min mamma var mycket vacker och hon dog i förtid. Vi är sårbara i vår släkt, men inte lika mycket som Marilyn och hennes mamma var. Eller kanske vi är. Jag vet inte. Det är svårt att se inifrån. Men jag lever i en annan tid än hon gjorde, en generation senare och i ett annat land. På en annan kontinent. Som så många andra kvinnor känner jag som sagt igen mig i henne. Första gången jag såg och upptäckte henne, var när jag hunnit bli 26 år och såg svensk TV:s jubileumsvisning av hennes filmer, när hon hade varit död i tio år. Jag gick aldrig på bio och såg henne som liten fast jag hade vänninnor, som såg henne och berättade om henne. Jag hade den gängse synen på henne, att hon bara var en dum blondin, och att hennes filmer inte heller var något mer än förströelse för stunden. Inga cineastiska mästerverk för finsmakare. Jag har blivit mycket mer ödmjuk sedan dess och är inte längre så enkelspårig. Och den där kvällen när jag såg henne för första gången hösten 1972 på TV, såg jag genast hennes storhet. Den utstrålning hon hade. Den har beskrivits som ett barns oskyldighet i en sexig kropp, men jag tyckte mer hon såg ut som en ängel, en kärleksfull ängel. Hon förkroppsligade något, som vi kanske först nu har kommit närmare i vår värld. Hon kunde själv inte skapa en medveten helhet hos sig själv, av sina olika delar, men kanske är tiden mera mogen nu. Och möjligen kan vi nuförtiden låta de olika nivåer vi består av mer leva sida vid sida, istället för att bara betona det fysiska, mentala, intellektuella och nedvärdera sådant som är känslomässigt, själsligt eller andligt. Det är alltså inte ett biografiskt verk över Norma Jeane eller Marilyn Monroe jag har skrivit, utan något som jag tror Marilyn hade velat skriva om hon hade kunnat. Jag har gjort Marilyn lite klokare, genom att hon kan bli det, när hon är död. Jag har troget följt det som inträffade i hennes liv, de fakta som finns om henne och hennes omgivning, men det är ändå en roman. Författaren
Marilyn. Blondiner som offer. En bok om hur den ljushyade, blonda, rödhåriga och blåögda varianten av människa valdes ut och delvis avlades fram i syfte att dödas som utbyte av föda till naturmakterna - solen, säden, vattnet. En ny belysning av orsaker till människors yttre olikheter, med utgångspunkter i Mexiko, Ryssland, Grekland, Egypten oh Kanarieöarna.

Timed to the 100th birthday of Marilyn Monroe, and with the full cooperation of the Monroe estate, comes an investigation into the literary life of the Hollywood icon and actress, from the author of Three-Martini Afternoons at the Ritz and Dorothy Parker in Hollywood. Far from the spotlights of the Hollywood film sets and the flashbulbs of the press, Marilyn Monroe was a great reader and lover of books. Her association with writers did not stop at reading their words on the page. She was, of course, briefly married to one of America's best-known playwrights, Arthur Miller, and met a number of other writers who moved in his literary world. But she also met authors independently of Miller, many of whom were fans of her films and keen to meet her. Through her deep research, Crowther delves into Marilyn's personal collection of books and recounts some of these meetings, like the time Monroe shared an apartment with Shelley Winters in West Hollywood, where they entertained Dylan Thomas and Christopher Isherwood for drinks (probably several drinks), after which Monroe arranged for Thomas to meet his childhood hero, Charlie Chaplin. Or when Life magazine arranged for Monroe to be interviewed by Dame Edith Sitwell at the Sunset Tower Hotel, and Sitwell was both charmed and blown away by Monroe's intelligence. Marilyn And Her Books: The Literary Life of Marilyn Monroe charts how Monroe, who left high school before graduation, embarked on an impressive and progressive program of self-education, hungry for knowledge, and devouring books as an active and engaged reader. Her personal library reflects this enquiring mind. In 2026, for her centenary, this book showcases Marilyn Monroe, the reader. Because at the end of her life, it was not her jewels or her furs, her shoes, or dresses that she cared about. It was her books.
Marilyn Monroe is one of the most cherished film stars and celebrated icons of American popular culture. The intrigue that surrounds her life and death continues to fascinate us today as the centenary of her birth approaches. This book follows the narrative of Marilyn’s life through a chronology of her 30 films and the stories behind the scenes. From her early days as Norma Jeane and her roles in films such as Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay! (1948) to her scene-stealing characters in movies such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), she cemented a career as one of the most popular stars in the world. From romantic comedies and musicals to setting up her own production company, she never failed to captivate audiences. However, this was not without its challenges and Marilyn’s personal struggles intensified in the later years, particular with films such as Let’s Make Love (1960) and Misfits (1961). Through 9 chapters and 4 standalone ‘breakout’ spreads on themes such as the costume designs of Travilla and Jean Louis, this is a tribute to her legacy. With a beautiful design and stunning images, this book is a celebration of the image and style of Marilyn through her life and the stories behind the movies she made.
