To say this biography is comprehensive is an understatement. Once I started reading, and since the book is currently in the KU program with added audio, I listened to parts of it, as well, it became obvious the author took his job very, very seriously!! All these speculations about Marilyn, her connections to the Kennedy’s or the mob or whatever, prompted this author to do a thorough investigation and a ton of in-depth research to write a book that tells Marilyn’s life story as accurately as humanly possible.Īnother reason I decided chose to read this book was in preparation for the Joyce Carol Oates book- "Blonde" which has been on my TBR list for a long time. But the damage is impossible to eradicate. Conspiracy theories can be lucrative, and if desperate for money, the temptation to create misinformation for profit can be irresistible. One big reason for that is my wariness about the legitimacy of the facts. I read biographies and memoirs on a fairly regular basis, but have not read one about Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe: The Biography by Donald Spoto is a 2001 Cooper Square Press publication.
