Synopsis

The Marilyn Handbook is a picture-driven biography that chronicles her life from the early black and white photographs of a fresh-faced barely recognizable girl to the classic curves and platinum blonde curls of an alluring screen icon known to millions. This is an intimate and revealing retelling of the oldest Hollywood story - that of a girl who wanted to be famous and paid the highest price for that glory. This is a fascinating compilation of essays, interviews, quotations from friends, family and colleagues, photographs and memorabilia revealing her to be one of the great twentieth century icons.
