Mimořádná publikace, která obsahuje životopis, 175 barevných fotografií a CD s 20 písněmi ikony filmového plátna - Marilyn Monroe. Filmovou hvězdu Marilyn Monroe neustále sžíral pocit, že žije na okraji Hollywoodu a že ji tamní společnost nikdy nepřijala za svou. Štěstí nenašla ani po boku muže, který by odpovídal jejím snům. Své partnery však neustále udržovala v takovém napětí a nejistotě, že jí nikdy nemohli plně důvěřovat. Byla přirozeným talentem, který se marně pokoušel najít sám sebe. Od jejího předčasného odchodu ze života v roce 1962 se neustále objevují nejrůznější konspirační teorie, které rozebírají pozadí její smrti. Tyto spekulace však poněkud zapomínají na to, že byla především nesmírně talentovanou herečkou a přitom velice křehkou ženou. Kniha doplněná dvaceti písněmi je příběhem chudého děvčátka Normy Jean, z níž vyrostla světově obdivovaná hvězda a symbol ženskosti Marilyn Monroe.
