    Goddess: The Secret Lives Of Marilyn Monroe

    Anthony Summers

    Formats & Editions

    A century on from the birth of Marilyn Monroe - this is the definitive biography of a true icon

    '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.
