This was one of the most wonderfully researched books with new as in never before printed photo's of not only Marilyn or Norma Jean but her Mother and her Father. I had recently purchased the book on her released from her estate and this topped even it! It has extensive reports from her one closets friend besides her sister Bernice Miracle, Pat Kennedy Lawford who was there with her most of the time and saw more of the breakdowns and changes of her mind through the years. I really enjoyed the fact this book shows she cared for her mother deeply and her long lost sister she found. It gives a wonderful list of the movies she was shown in and accounts of them as well which are eye opening. It shows all shades of Marilyn and how she en the end wanted only to become Norma Jeane. It was a quick read so fascinating it kept me up all night. This one is a KEEPER! This was written by a man who cared for her as a woman not just the idol which he of course couldn't help but love as well. It gives new insight into the last few day's that she had and it is so painful to read. This was worth every penny I paid for it.
