| | | Little known and long unavailable, this autobiography, written by actress and starlet Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962), describes her early adolescence, her rise in the film industry from bit player to celebrity, and her marriage to Joe DiMaggio, and more.
Annotation:
Originally published in 1974, Marilyn Monroe's memoir--written in collaboration with the legendary Ben Hecht who, among his 70-plus screenwriting credits, wrote the Monroe vehicle SOME LIKE IT HOT)--covers her life up until her marriage to baseball star Joe DiMaggio. It includes her thoughts on a number of topics, and was controversial at the time for its depiction of her sexual abuse as a child.
| PraiseNew York Times Book Review
"Much of MY STORY may be apocryphal, yet Hecht and Monroe weave a tale whose chief strength, its narrative voice, is so very, very Marilyn--simultaneously open yet vague, naïve yet psychologically savvy and chillingly prescient." - Marjorie Rosen 04/08/2001 |
