Plaudits:

‘The fullest factual account of Monroe’s life and death we’re likely to get’ – Evening Standard

‘The definitive story of the legend’ – Irish Times

‘Gets as near to the heart of the mystery as anyone ever will’ – Guardian

“A remarkable performance…The ghost of Marilyn Monroe cries out in these pages.” – The New York Times

“Convincing evidence of a crude but effective cover-up which was designed to protect Robert Kennedy.” – The Times Literary Supplement

“I knew and admired Marilyn’s husband Arthur Miller…[Marilyn] was a classic example of borderline personality disorder, filled with despair, terror, and rage…an eternal damaged child…She was a genius, a sorceress who could stimulate the world’s sexuality and still seem innocent, turn on a light and become ‘Marilyn Monroe.’ And she has become eternal. This is the most believable, useful book of all the books about her.” – Harvey Wasserman, former professor of psychiatry, Yale University College of Medicine

Blurb:

Marilyn Monroe, born to deprivation and a series of foster homes, became an acting legend of the 20th century. She married famous men, Joe DiMaggio and playwright Arthur Miller, and her many lovers included President John F. Kennedy. Her death, at 36, is a mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

Anthony Summers interviewed 600 people for this book, which reveals unknown truths, some funny, some very sad, about this brilliant but troubled woman. First to gain access to the files of Monroe’s last psychiatrist, he throws light on Monroe’s troubled psyche and her addiction to medications. He establishes once and for all that she was intimately involved with John and Robert Kennedy, who probably covered up the circumstances of her death.
