Barnes & Noble THE REAL MARILYN MONROE: Debunking the myths and revealing intimate new details of her life and death at Hamilton Place in Chattanooga, TN
This unique new (7x10), 768-page book is unlike any other you have read on Marilyn Monroe. Besides being an engrossing and intimate BIOGRAPHY, (with many colorful and fascinating NEW details of her life), it rewrites the history of the iconic actress who has been called "the movie's Mona Lisa." Scrupulously well researched and superbly written by longtime investigative journalist and award-winning author Larry Jordan -- whose work has been widely praised and quoted by big media and respected authors worldwide -- THE REAL MARILYN MONROE systematically destroys a mountain of lies about Monroe that have unfairly slandered her legacy. This was a savvy woman who surmounted many obstacles, had no history of vengefulness, and was never going to hold a press conference to air her grievances. She kept her private life private, refused to speak ill of anyone (even ex-husbands), and was in the best physical and mental shape she'd been in for years. In stunning photographs and taped interviews near the end of her life she proved she was still luminescent, articulate and intelligent beyond dispute. Tapping recently declassified Intel documents, personal files, unpublished written recollections by some of Marilyn's closest friends, first-hand interviews, and previously unavailable sources, Jordan paints a much different picture of Marilyn.
