Synopsis

Marilyn Monroe: Metamorphosis by David Wills is a book that showcases the transformation of Norma Jeane Baker into one of the most iconic and emulated Hollywood stars of all time. The book features more than two hundred first-generation photographs of Monroe, many of which have never been published before. The photographs are accompanied by reflections on Monroe from her friends, work associates, and admirers, as well as her last interview, in which she reflects on her life and fame. Marilyn Monroe: Metamorphosis is an unforgettable showcase of the actress's journey from an unknown factory worker to one of the most recognized faces in history. The book is divided into three sections: "Early Years," "Hollywood Stardom," and "The Last Years." The "Early Years" section features photographs of Monroe from her childhood and early modeling career. The "Hollywood Stardom" section features photographs of Monroe from her most famous films, such as The Seven Year Itch and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. The "The Last Years" section features photographs of Monroe from the final years of her life, when she was struggling with addiction and mental health issues. Marilyn Monroe: Metamorphosis is a beautiful and heartbreaking book that captures the essence of one of the most fascinating and tragic figures in American history. The book is a must-read for any fan of Monroe or anyone interested in the Hollywood Golden Age.
