Kennedys birthday, or leaning out of a balcony over the streets of New York City, or famously standing over the subway grates while shooting The Seven Year Itch. Behind the glamour, weve also heard the sad stories: her mothers institutionalization, her three failed marriages, her own struggles with mental health, her surprising death that still leaves us with questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarilyn Monroe: A Photographic Lifedelves into the life of the starbefore, during, and after she became a Blonde Bombshell. Born Norma Jeane Mortenson (the Baker came later), she had a troubled childhood that culminated in her self-described inferiority complex. But all the while, she dreamed of something more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead the stories behind her first marriage (and why she kept it secret when she started modeling), her early roles with the studios (and the one exec who thought she didnt have it), and her life as a budding actress that include humble anecdotes (at one point, she was so poor that she and a roommate shared one pair of high heelsand whoever had a date that night got to wear them).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Along with the stories are fabulous rare photographs and reproductions of frameable memorabilia, such as:   Birth and marriage certificates  Handwritten letters  Certificate of conversion to Judaism before her marriage to Arthur Miller  Screen Actors Guild membership card  Picture of Marilyn sketched by Jane Russell  Watercolor Marilyn painted for JFK  Childhood photos  Shots and ads from her earliest modeling days  Wedding photos  Images of those who knew her, including Groucho Marx, Ella Fitzgerald, Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and so many more  Marilyns favorite image of herself, taken in 1956  Further chapters cover Marilyns marriages to Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller, her time in England and New York, and her rise as one of Hollywoods most sought after starlets.
