BORN UNWANTED. BECAME A STAR. DIED AN ICON. Before Marilyn Monroe, there was Norma Jeane Baker. No one would have thought that the girl who spent her childhood between foster homes and orphanages would one day become the global icon of the twenty-first century. The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe tells the extraordinary story of Marilyn Monroe''s life - her rise to fame, the relationships and personal difficulties that kept her up at night, and the terrible circumstances of her death. Compellingly and compassionately told, James Patterson and Imogen Edwards-Jones draw from rigorous research to explore the life and death of remarkable woman who was Marilyn Monroe. __________________________________ PRAISE FOR JAMES PATTERSON ''It''s no mystery why James Patterson is the world''s most popular thriller writer ...
