In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy
best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the true story
of Marilyn Monroe, the iconic movie star.
Little Norma Jeane grew up between foster homes, an orphanage, and a
family friend's house--where she was forbidden to watch movies. Through
her difficult childhood and teen years, she dreamed of becoming an
actress. One day, a photographer spotted her and gave her a modelling
contract, and from this day she was "Marilyn Monroe." Though
much-admired, she suffered from pre-performance anxiety, which was a
challenge for her in her career. Her films grossed over $200 million but
she was known to have said: "I don't want to make money. I just want to
be wonderful." This inspiring book features stylish and quirky
illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a
biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile
of the star's life.
