Over 850 5-Star Reviews!
Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe is the bestselling, definitive biography that explores the life, loves, and mysterious death of one of Hollywood’s most enduring icons.
Born into poverty and obscurity, Marilyn Monroe rose to become a twentieth-century legend, captivating the world with her beauty, talent, and charisma. Yet behind the glamour was a troubled woman struggling with insecurity, emotional turmoil, and a dangerous dependence on prescription medications.
Drawing on more than six hundred interviews, author Anthony Summers uncovers the truths—sometimes humorous, often heartbreaking—behind Monroe’s public image. With unprecedented access to the files of her final psychiatrist, Summers examines the experiences and relationships that shaped her life, from her marriages to baseball star Joe DiMaggio and playwright Arthur Miller to her connections with powerful political figures.
Summers also investigates the enduring questions surrounding Monroe’s death, presenting evidence about her relationships with President John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy and the controversies that followed her final days.
Updated to coincide with the Netflix documentary The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe, this deeply researched biography offers a compelling portrait of a brilliant, vulnerable woman whose life and legacy continue to fascinate the world.
