Sandra Shevey presents a portrait of Marilyn Monroe that cuts through decades of sensationalism and studio-manufactured legend, revealing a far more complex, intelligent, and vulnerable human being than popular culture has typically acknowledged. Drawing on original interviews, the narrative chronicles Monroe's struggles with fame, her turbulent personal relationships, and the powerful forces in the entertainment industry that sought to control and diminish her. The tone is investigative and unflinching, refusing to romanticize the tragedy of Monroe's life while still honoring the depth of her talent and humanity. The result is a richly detailed reassessment that challenges readers to reconsider everything they thought they knew about an American icon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792251007195,"sku":"2026600000358-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a64b6c05-d732-42b6-9158-3fe18adaf97f.png?v=1779274088","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000358-secondhand-the-marilyn-scandal-her-true-life-revealed-by-those-who-knew-her","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
