Based on new interviews and research, this ground-breaking biography by Charles Casillo explores the secret selves behind Marilyn Monroe's public facades.

Marilyn Monroe. Her beauty still captivates. Her love life still fascinates. Her story still dominates popular culture. Now, drawing on years of research and dozens of new interviews, this biography cuts through decades of lies and secrets and introduces you to the Marilyn Monroe you always wanted to know: a living, breathing, complex woman, bewitching and maddening, brilliant yet flawed.

Charles Casillo studies Monroe's life through the context of her times--in the days before feminism, and before there was adequate treatment for bipolar disorder, which Marilyn struggled with. Starting with her abusive childhood, this biography exposes how--in spite of her fractured psyche--Marilyn's extreme ambition inspired her to transform each celebrated love affair and each tragedy into another step in her journey toward immortality. Casillo fully explores the last two years of her life, including her involvement with both John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert, and the mystery of her last day.

Just a few of Casillo's revelations:
*Despite reports of their bitter rivalry, Elizabeth Taylor secretly reached out and tried to help Marilyn during one of her darkest moments.

*The existence of Marilyn's seminude love scene with Clark Gable--long thought to be lost.

*A few nights before she died, Marilyn encountered Warren Beatty at a party and disclosed some of the reasons for her final despair.

*A meticulously detailed account of the events of her last day, revealing how a series of miscommunications and misjudgments contributed to her death.

Beautiful :)
Color: Cream, Size: 2-Layer
I’m really happy that I was able to get a product like this at this price. It can store more rings, bracelets, and earrings than I expected. Most of all, the design is beautiful, so it also works as a decorative piece when placed on a vanity. It makes it very convenient to take out and use my jewelry.

Simple, Functional, and Adorable Jewelry Box
Color: Cream, Size: 2-Layer, Color: Cream, Size: 2-Layer
Cute and practical organizer with good space for everyday jewelry. Quality is good for everyday use, though the closure isn’t very tight, so it’s best for smaller collections. Great option if you don’t have a large jewelry collection. Overall, it’s a solid choice for keeping things organized.

Really nice box
Color: Cream, Size: 2-Layer
This actually is a very nice box. It is sturdy enough for constant handling. It does not hold a lot of pieces but I knew that. This is for someone that needs to store a small amount of jewelry. I like the sides that open and the bottom storage, it is big enough to hold small boxed with earrings in it. The cover is very pretty with the padded look, it opens and closes very easy. One thing to keep in mind that the pull out erring holder is just covered cardboard, don't bend it. All in all I am very happy with this box so far it is doing what I need it to do, hold my spare jewelry.
