Marilyn Monroe. Her rollar-coaster life. Her deception - shrouded death. Her divided secret life. Her legion of lovers. Her intimacies with JFK and Bobby Kennedy. Her mafia connections.

In-depth examination of the troubled star's life; there's more searching here than I had been used to seeing in other biographies, and the conspiracy theories with regard to her death gave me food for thought. I haven't thought about Monroe in quite the same way since.What a mess! Meticulously researched fascinating history of what must be the most epic backstory of Hollywood history. The exploitation of a dangerously unstable woman by the great powers of media and politics is fifty years later still nauseating. Anyone still clinging to Bobby Kennedy mythology should stay far away from there.
This 2017 revised edition of Goddess is an extensive body of work, documenting the life of Marilyn Monroe. The first half of the 688 pages tells of Marilyns private and public life until the year of her death. What follows are the facts that had been uncovered at the time of her death, and over the past 50 year years. The post script is a must read!This biography brings us into the world of old Hollywood, politics and the rich & famous.
At first I felt like I was reading one of those creepy rags that you see at the checkout counter. Tell all about a star without her there to defend herself. Marilyn has always been, to me, one of the most misunderstood "stars" of the universe. Perhaps it was her destiny to carry the mental illness that crippled her mother. We will never really know. Modern medicine was not as modern back then and Marilyn seemed destined to live a life of depression and desperation, that was constantly medicated.
This read like a trashy grocery store check out aisle magazine. Completely disrespectful to a woman who cannot comment or corroborate any of these findings.
As most of you know, I love Marilyn Monroe/Kennedy fan fiction. That's what I call books like Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe. The premise of this book like most Monroe fanfic is that The Kennedy's murdered Marilyn Monroe to hide the fact they were having affairs with her. Now while I agree that based on available evidence Jack & Bobby Kennedy were with all probability having affairs with her. I think its pretty ridiculous to think they either had her killed or as this book says
I remember reading this book when I was maybe 13 and being completely mind blown. It made me obsessed with MM for quite some time. And a little bit sad for her. Very sad for her actually...But to the point - this is very good biography, it includes the pictures (even the one where she is dead, which I was weirdly fascinated with). It is also very detailed and writing style is kind of poetic for biography, which I loved.Also I own more than 3 copies. Of the same edition. No shame.
