In 1952 Harry Brand, the publicity director for Twentieth Century-Fox said of her, “We’re grooming her - or maybe I should say she’s grooming herself - to be the sexiest thing in pictures since Jean Harlow.” She wanted adulation and love, but what she seemed to want most was to be a success as an actress, and to transcend her humble and unhappy beginnings. Marilyn was atypical from many starlets, as her primary goal wasn’t fortune or fame. Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe by Anthony Summers is a comprehensive look at the actress’s life, from her erratic childhood to her pursuit of a Hollywood career. I’m working on a long-form project on Monroe, so I’m reading everything I can get my hands on.
