　　Barbara Leaming's Marilyn Monroe is a complex, sympathetic

portrait that will forever change the way we view the most enduring

icon of America sexuality. To those who think they have heard all

there is to hear about Marilyn Monroe, think again. Leaming's book

tells a brand-new tale of sexual, psychological, and political

intrigue of the highest order. Told for the first time in all its

complexity, this is a compelling portrait of a woman at the center

of a drama with immensely high stakes, a drama in which the other

players are some of the most fascinating characters from the worlds

of movies, theater, and politics. It is a book that shines a bright

light on one of the most tumultuous, frightening, and exciting

periods in American culture.

Basing her research on new interviews and on thousands of primary

documents--including revealing letters by Arthur Miller, Elia

Kazan, John Huston, Laurence Olivier, Tennessee Williams, Darryl

Zanuck, Marilyn's psychiatrist Dr. Ralph Greenson, and many

others--Leaming has reconstructed the tangle of betrayal in

Marilyn's life. For the first time, a master storyteller has put

together all of the pieces and told Marilyn's story with the

intensity and drama it so richly deserves.

At the heart of this book is a sexual triangle and a riveting

story that has never been told before. You will come away filled

with new respect for Marilyn's incredible courage, dignity, and

loyalty, and an overwhelming sense of tragedy after witnessing

Marilyn, powerless to overcome her demons, move inexorably to her

own final, terrible betrayal of herself.

Marilyn Monroe is a book that will make you think--and will break

your heart.

　　This extraordinarily thoughtful book by Barbara Leaming, a

literary star among movie-star biographers, offers the last thing

you'd expect in a book on Marilyn Monroe: new information from

verifiable sources. Sure, lots of the tragedy is familiar: an

abused, confused girl from an orphanage with a mother in a madhouse

rises from sexual party favor for homely showbiz men to the movie

superstar who pushes them around, until she crashes, a victim of

self-loathing and drug addiction.

　　The thing about a tragedy is that its heroine isn't a

victim--she's responsible for her fate. Leaming does scholarly

spadework, digging up hard facts from sources like UCLA's 20th

Century Fox collection and the diary-like first drafts of Arthur

Miller's semiautobiographical work, and she makes sense of Monroe's

motives. She even apparently solves Monroe's suicide with clues

from the star's psychiatrist's letters in the Anna Freud

collection. Her last overdose may have happened just because her

shrink went to dinner with his wife and she felt abandoned.

　　But until pills killed her, Monroe wasn't a candle in the

wind. She burned with ambition and knew how to craft a persona and

play power games--with moguls and with the commie-busters hounding

her husband Miller. Leaming plausibly analyzes the

Miller-Monroe-Elia Kazan love/hate triangle, sizes up the Kennedy

connection, busts her acting coach Lee Strasberg as "chillingly

mercenary," and deftly shows just how her life entangled her art,

film by film.

　　This book has a woman's touch: it's a work of sharp intellect

and emotional insight unclouded by lust or star worship.

　　--Tim Appelo
