Summary: special only because she wrote it!
Comment: this book is unique for the reason that it is marilyn monroe's story, told as she herself wanted it to be told. (there is no mistaking that because she wrote it.) but at the same time, it is unfinished, and really cuts off before she gets to "the good stuff". you are left with an unquenchable desire to know the whole story. if you love m.m., then i sidgest adding this to your collection, if you are not that die hard of a fan, then you may pass this one up with out a second thought!

Summary: "My Story" Based on Interviews with Marilyn
Comment: "My Story" has generated controversy since its publication in
1974. After perusing the above reviews, it appears to continue this legacy. Milton Greene, Marilyn's former vice president of Marilyn Monroe Productions, claimed to have the original manuscript allegedly typed by Marilyn. Greene published it in hardcover for the first time twelve years after Marilyn's death. However, the roots of this project stemmed from serialized newspaper articles for London's The Empire News in 1954. Supposedly, the writing was ghosted by Ben Hecht as told to him by Marilyn in interviews. It reads as if Marilyn was speaking and is obviously edited to resemble an autobiographical account. Of course, Marilyn was given the byline in the newspaper. Marilyn's account of childhood sexual abuse is harrowing. When Marilyn's estate was auctioned by Christie's in NYC in 1999, excerpts from this book were used to illustrate and authenticate her white baby grand piano, a gift from her mother in childhood.

Summary: a marilyn fan necessity
Comment: Whether you believe that Marilyn herself or friend Ben Hecht wrote this book, it is a must-own for any collector. With short, charming chapters that you can almost hear being whispered to you in Marilyn's little girl voice, the book truly captures her persona. How awful to get to the end, knowing her troubles are barely beginning!
