Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The death of Marilyn Monroe was the event that triggered the events of August 4, 1962. The press at the time preferred the easy wallow in pathos to serious reporting.

#2 Marilyn Monroe was a famous actress who turned herself into Marilyn Monroe. She was a symbol of love, but she was also lonely. She died famously at the age of 36, but in folly. She had a disturbed psyche.

#3 Marilyn’s mother, Gladys, was a film cutter who had a relationship with Stanley Gifford, who was Marilyn’s supposed father. When Marilyn was seven, Gladys suffered a period of deep depression, then an explosion of rage and frustration. She was committed to the same hospital in which her own mother had died.

#4 After Marilyn’s death, Gladys would remain confined until after Marilyn’s mother died. Inez Melson, Marilyn’s former business manager, was eventually appointed Gladys’ guardian. She spent more time with her than anyone else.
