Summary
Marilyn Monroe had the most famous face of the 20th century. A legendary actress, comedienne, and sex symbol, she has been one of Hollywood’s most talked-about performers ever since she first crossed the silver screen. Her fame persisted long after her tragic death—but as time has gone by, it has become almost impossible to separate the legend of the woman born as Norma Jeane from the truth.
Now, at last, Marilyn’s real story can be told.
Written in 1954, as she approached the height of her fame, this heart-wrenching unfinished autobiography provides the best possible glimpse into what it meant to be Marilyn Monroe. From its unflinching account of her desperately poor childhood to its firsthand look at the inside of the Hollywood fame machine, My Story gives us the Marilyn nobody else saw. As her story continues to be reevaluated and retold, including in the forthcoming Netflix biopic Blonde, starring Ana de Armas, this book is the key to separating fact from fiction.

Dissapointing
Although interesting and reasonably well read. I had expected for it to go further into her life and ot seemed to end rather abruptly

Read this before you watch the ‘film’
Having listened to this and watched the first hour of the film, I wonder what planet the film makers are on. Disgraceful way to desecrate the life of a woman who clearly had more depth in her little finger than the ‘writer/researchers’ involved in the latest movie making money from her image.

Classic
I have the physical copy of this book and I love this audible version just as much. Marylin in her own words, this was beautifully read.

Interesting Read
I know some of Marilyn's life from biographies, documentaries, her work and podcasts but never truly from her own words. It is this that makes it special.
To hear her thoughts and feelings of events past and present was incredibly insightful and moving. The performance was great and delivered well.
I wish there was more out there.

Interesting yet tragic life of an icon
Just wished Marilyn kept writing more journals about her life after 1953. Definitely recommended if you’re interested in biographies or Marilyn Monroe.

You could really hear Marilyn voice in it
I loved it so much great book, but she sounded like a robot and it really told the story well of her life
