Worth a read

I was just web surfing and saw some short video with some of Marilyn's best moments and I remembered this book (I read it years ago).

I must confess that I have never watched Marilyn Monroe's movies, I'm not really a fan or anything, but I know the legend and I had always been curious, so I gave this book a chance and it was worth it.

We often forget that celebrities are human beings just as flawed as anyone else, and Marilyn is not an exception. It's fascinating to take a look at her life, everything she went through and suffered so we can understand her motivations and attitudes a little better. Also, it's important to point out that Donald Spoto conducted a thorough investigation, so, we can leave out crazy conspiracy theories related to her life -and death-.
