Product Description

From a hard childhood lived largely in foster homes, she ascended to the highest of Hollywood heights-
a screen icon beyond compare. And then she died young under mysterious circumstances, tragically
cementing her legend. The life story of Norma Jeane Baker, the girl who would become Marilyn Monroe, is as thrilling, glamorous and dramatic as anything seen on the big screen, and the camera was there to capture every chapter. With intimate, rarely seen photographs of a pretty little child growing up in California during the 1930s right through to the classic imagery of the movie star in the 1950s and '60s made by LIFE's legendary team of photographers, this book is a warm portrait of a woman who was majestic and vulnerable in equal measure. These pages prove beyond any doubt: There has never been another like Marilyn, and there never will be.

Customer Reviews

STUNNING photographs! Captures the true beauty of Marilyn!
I saw this in a store when it was first published. It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL! I wish I could frame the photos in this magazine. I bought this one on Amazon as a gift to my sister who is a huge Marilyn fan. It shipped a month early! I can't wait until she receives it, she's going to love it.

The Revival of a Hollywood Starlet
I've always been a fan of the LIFE writers and photographers, but this edition of the LIFE magazine exceptionally brilliant. Not only did the photographs and text let the reader into the intimate details of Ms. Monroe's life, but they captured her beauty and personality so flawlessly. I couldn't put the magazine down; it was simply addicting. I would recommend this edition to anyone; especially Monroe fans.
