Perhaps it was her destiny to carry the mental illness that crippled her mother. Marilyn has always been, to me, one of the most misunderstood "stars" of the universe. Tell all about a star without her there to defend herself. Suspenseful Clues and Thrilling Reviews Book Club.Īt first I felt like I was reading one of those creepy rags that you see at the checkout counter. Read-A-Thin May Challenge: Read a book featuring mental illness.Ģ018 Badass Books Reading Challenge: A book published the year you were born. Even if I think it's a just conspiracy theory the events written about in this book are an important part of the Marilyn Monroe myth and legend. I think this book is a must read for Monroe obsessive.
And that doesn't mean that I don't find certain things in this book to be very very likely the truth. While I don't believe most of what's written in this book but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy it. Marilyn Monroe probably had Bi-Polar Disorder and like lots of people self medicated with drugs. That doesn't make it any less tragic or interesting. I think she was addicted to opiates likes millions of other Americans and she simply took too many pills. I love her movies, I love her songs(I'm Through With Love is my fave) and I love reading about her life.
I once read that Ben Bradley the former editor of The Washington Post & friend of JFK said that the press could have walked in on JFK having sex with intern and no one would have reported it. Also we have to remember that in the 1960's the media didn't report on the lives of politicians. Its doubtful anyone would have believed her. Even the author admits that Marilyn had a reputation for lying and her struggle with mental illness was well known, so had she held a press conference as it is alleged in this book she planned to do. I don't think they killed Marilyn Monroe to keep her from talking. 1960's right wingers were different from 2022 right wingers but once this clicked in my head I felt even more sure that this book is more fiction than fact.įrom everything I've read or watched about Jack & Bobby Kennedy they were most definitely slutty whores and I often wonder when they found the time to conduct the nations business.
With this re read I was surprised that I never noticed just how much of the Marilyn/JFK/RFK information was based on the reporting of right wingers. I always enjoy it but my perspective is always evolving. The first time I read was as a teenager when I was first discovering my obsession with Marilyn Monroe. Although I thought it should have been a documentary series and not just a movie, there's just too much info to cram into one documentary. Which is basically a condensed version of this book. The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes. I obviously watched the Netflix documentary 2022 Reread Because Netflix and Kim Kardashian
