You thought you knew her...but never before like this. Marilyn Monroe (1926-1962) survived a childhood marked by abuse, neglect, \u0026amp; chaos to become a psychological, cultural, \u0026amp; spiritual phenomenon of the Twentieth Century. Her remarkable life, brilliant film career, \u0026amp; posthumous legend have been deconstructed in over 600 biographies. Psychotherapist \u0026amp; author Gary Vitacco-Robles reframes \u0026amp; redefines the fascinating woman behind the iconic image through an analysis of her psyche and an appreciation of her film \u0026amp; stage performances in Volume One of this definitive biography. After a decade of meticulous research, Vitacco-Robles offers a treasure trove of facts comprehensively documenting each year of Monroe's inspiring life within the context of her tumultuous times \u0026amp; through her relationships with literary, entertainment, \u0026amp; political figures. Monroe is resurrected a half-century after her tragic death in this detailed \u0026amp; sensitive biography that intelligently explores her passionate desires: to be loved, become a serious actress, \u0026amp; have a family. Volume One examines the first thirty years of Monroe's life and her impact on the culture, providing a deeper understanding of the remarkable woman and the lasting impression she left behind. Based upon interviews, diaries, \u0026amp; personal files-void of sensationalism-Icon: The Life, Times, \u0026amp; Films of Marilyn Monroe dispels many myths \u0026amp; reveals the ultimate truth about Hollywood's most charismatic, beloved, \u0026amp; enduring star.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gary Vitacco-Robles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1593937946\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781593937942\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e BearManor Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.44d","brand":"Gary Vitacco-Robles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989344321791,"sku":"9781593937942","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bd76e05d-0f14-4da2-8b12-b51bb87d3db7.jpg?v=1683298979","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/icon-gary-vitacco-robles-9781593937942","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
