About this ebook
The classic, definitive biography of Marilyn Monroe, now updated in the year of the 60th anniversary of the iconic star's death - now a major Netflix film, The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Untold Tapes
'Gets as near to the heart of the mystery as anyone ever will' Guardian
More than half a century after her death, Marilyn Monroe is arguably still one of the most famous people in the world. Her life was a contrast of public brilliance and private misery, her death a tragedy suffused by dark questions - about her relations with President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert. Drawing on more than 600 first-hand interviews, Anthony Summers offers the classic, definitive biography of a woman who captivated the world. Marilyn's tragic story is clouded by gossip-reporting more than almost any other. GODDESS, however, delivers new, fully documented yet exciting fact.
