Marilyn : The Passion and the Paradox [ang.]

"The Passion and the Paradox "

Autor: Banner, Lois W.

Marilyn Monroe was rooted in paradox: she was a powerful star and a childlike waif; a joyful, irreverent party girl with a deeply spiritual side; a superb friend and a narcissist; a dumb blonde and an intellectual. In the fifty years since Marilyn`s death in 1962, no biographer has fully recognised - much less analysed - most of these ascepts of her personality. Lois Banner has.

A founder of the field of women`s history, Banner reveals Marilyn Monroe as only a top-notch historian

and biographer could. Her credentials opened doors in researching this book, gaining her access to Marilyn intimates who had never before spoken to biographers or reporters, as well as a cache of private material previously unseen, ignored or misinterpreted.

With new details about Marilyn`s childhood homes, her sexual abuse, her multiple ges and affairs, and her untimely death thirty-six, Banner lends nuance and authoritative detail to sketchy rumours and pered legends about a remarkable life, honours, as never before, the complexity a truly immortal subject. In Marilyn: The Passion and the Paradox, a goddess of Hollywood`s Golden Age is at last rendered fully human.
