[lbo-talk] Good bio of Marilyn Monroe?

[shag carpet bomb]

It's not a bio but a book came out last summer about her intellectual life, 
a publication of letters, notes, poetry, diary entries she wrote. I hadn't 
really thought of it until I read the book, but she used to have photos of 
her reading and in glasses. Apparently, this was something she pushed 
because she wanted to impress upon people that she had a brain and she 
aspired to be more of an intellectual.

I wasn't always especially impressed with the notes she wrote, but it was 
still interesting reading.
