Title: Cult Celebrity Status In Death, Barbituate Junkie In Life!!!
Review: In this book the author describes the tumultuous career and life of Marylin Monroe. One gets the impression from reading this book that there are only 3 roles for actresses in Hollywood namely "Babe", "District Attorney" and "Driving Miss Daisy". Sadly Ms. Monroe did not get past the 'Babe" stage of her acting career. This book is just one of many biographies on this actress who has had more books written about her than any other deceased celebrity. One gets the feeling from reading this book that if Ms. Monoroe would have lived until her sixties then she would have just been another "has been actress" largely forgotten by the Movie Going Public and would have gotten 5 lines in her Obituary on page 10 of any newspaper like her contemporary actress Gene Tierney did. I give this book 5 stars for the valiant attempt by the author in his efforts to illustrate the complexities of this sad,lonely lost soul.
Is the review positive or negative?
