![]() | Some Like It Hot
Buy used from: $3.60 I thought I'd hate Marilyn, but this movie is excellent. She's so appealing in it, very innocently sexy and unexpectedly funny. Overall, it is one of her best films.
|
![]() | Star Style: Hollywood Legends As Fashion Icons by Patty Fox
Buy used from: $4.70 I always knew who she was but this book let me in on her style. It was pretty blatant about how sexually charged Marilyn was. It didn't make me want to see a film.

![]() | Marilyn: Her Life In Her Own Words: Her Life in Her Own Words : Marilyn Monroe's Revealing Last Words and Photographs by George Barris
Buy used from: $9.03 Mostly pictures, this book offers a look into Marilyn's life (supposedly) through her own words.
|
![]() | Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Buy used from: $5.49 I'm not a fan of musicals so I didn't instantly like this one. However, it grew on me and I love Marilyn's dizzy portrayal of Lorelei as well as her singing voice.
|
![]() | My Story by Marilyn Monroe
Buy used from: $12.40 Although most likely highly fabricated, this text was at least worked on by Marilyn.
|
![]() | Magic of Marilyn by Marilyn Monroe
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $5.50 She was a wonderful singer. Most of the songs she sang came from her movies.
|
![]() | With Love XOXO by Marilyn Monroe
Buy used from: $1.05 This has some songs the other CD doesn't.
|
![]() | Giants of Stage & Screen by Various Artists
Buy used from: $22.34 And even more rare tracks.
|
![]() | Niagara
Buy used from: $6.48 Marilyn is at her most gorgeous in this film that catpulted her into stardom. The movie is kind of dull, but all of her scenes are hard to turn away from.
|
![]() | River of No Return
Buy used from: $11.14 I liked her character in this and the music is great. But as Marilyn said, it is a Z-western so no even her presence saves it.
|
![]() | How To Marry A Millionaire
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $7.41 She's so adorable and very very funny in this great movie about three girls who want to marry millionaires.
|
![]() | The Misfits
Buy used from: $2.93 This movie plot is not very good but Marilyn is really great in it. Despite the fact that it was written to help her career, I don't think it would have made her a more credible actress.
|
![]() | The Seven Year Itch by Billy Wilder
Buy used from: $4.99 The subway scene is perhaps the single image that cements Monroe in pop culture but this film is very good in itself and is more of a platform for her co-star than for Marilyn herself.
|
![]() | After the Fall: A Play in Two Acts (Penguin Plays) by Arthur Miller
Buy new: $8.57 / Used from: $0.01 Marilyn's third husband Arthur Miller depicted Marilyn as Maggie in his semi-autobiographical play. She is the best part of the play.
|
![]() | Biography - Marilyn Monroe: The Mortal Goddess [VHS]
Buy used from: $6.50 This documentary isn't very good. Oh well. It's about Marilyn.
|
![]() | To Norma Jeane with Love, Jimmie by Jim Dougherty
Buy new: $16.95 / Used from: $15.15 This is a personal, somewhat repetative, book. It's decent. I always like to hear about what Marilyn was like from people who actually knew her, and the people who knew her early in life tend to have the most interesting stories.
|
![]() | Bus Stop
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $4.77 Bus Stop is considered to be proof she could act, and it is, but the movie is poor and dull.
|
![]() | Marilyn Monroe - The Final Days
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $10.97 This documentary comes with the first Diamond Collection. It serves to prove that Marilyn was not murdered and it features the filmed portions of Something's Got to Give.
|
![]() | All About Eve
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $3.16 Marilyn has a small part as a gorgeous actress trying to make it. Funny, almost everyone in the cast had their career nosedive after making this movie, but not Marilyn.
|
![]() | There's No Business Like Show Business
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $6.89 The movie turns to crap when Marilyn's character is introduced which is not her fault. She's magnetic in her scenes. Unfortunately, the story loses focus.
|
![]() | The Prince and the Showgirl
Buy new: $19.49 / Used from: $6.70 This movie is somewhat dry but Marilyn is so on the entire time. It's one you have to watch more than once.
|
![]() | The Many Lives of Marilyn Monroe by Sarah Churchwell
Buy used from: $0.82 Revealing and long past due in the legacy of Monroe. It is hard to get through sometimes because of all the information given and expected of the reader.
|
![]() | Love Nest
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.13 Marilyn's voice is lower in this one. The movie itself is mediocre and her role is small.
|
![]() | Don't Bother to Knock
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.86 This is probably the best of the dramatic roles Marilyn played. She's dark and beautiful; the movie isn't that bad either. Don't expect anything amazing storywise, but you'll be impressed with her performance.
|
![]() | Let's Make Love
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $6.79 A great musical comedy whose songs make up for the boring plot. Marilyn had an affair with her co-star during shooting.
|
![]() | We Remember Marilyn
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $5.74 This is the best documentary about Marilyn I've found despite the bad cover art. It is complete and filled with film clips and quotes.
|
![]() | Clash by Night
Buy used from: $6.25 She plays in a serious movie in a serious role. She's really very good, the best and most realistic part of the film, and maybe the more underrated performances she ever gave.
|
![]() | Love Happy
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $6.99 She has a tiny part and is on the screen for only a moment. The movie is pretty funny.
|
![]() | Monkey Business
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $6.92 A great cast but a poor film. Marilyn takes part in uninspired slapstick humor and is only a small part of the film.
|
![]() | My Sister Marilyn: A Memoir of Marilyn Monroe by Berniece Baker Miracle
Buy used from: $1.69 Another look into Marilyn back when she was known as Norma Jeane by her own half-sister. There are some parts that are very revealing about Marilyn's publicity lies.
|
![]() | We're Not Married
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $3.99 Fun but nothing special. Marilyn has a small part as a beauty queen.
|

|
![]() | The Asphalt Jungle

|
![]() | Marilyn and Me: Sisters, Rivals, Friends by Susan Strasberg

|
![]() | Let's Make it Legal
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $6.24 Marilyn's lines are forced in this film, and we don't get to see much range as she is only eye candy, but the film isn't bad.
|
![]() | Blonde Heat: The Sizzling Screen Career of Marilyn Monroe by Richard Buskin
Buy used from: $8.04 This book features a complete filmography, lots of photographs, and brief bits of biography.
|
![]() | Marilyn Monroe by Maurice Zolotow
Buy used from: $2.00 Published before her death, this is one of the most honest books around because it points out that Marilyn was not a goddess to be worshipped. It does not bash her, though. Zolotow was one of the first to take her seriously as an actress.
|
![]() | Ladies of the Chorus [VHS]
Buy used from: $10.95 An early B-movie, Marilyn is one of the stars of the show before she was famous. She sings several songs; during the making of the film she fell in love with her musical director.
