My Sister Marilyn: A Memoir of Marilyn Monroe Book

What a charming book about Marilyn Monroe by someone who should know...her very own sister. I haven't read any other books on Marilyn but this book intrigued me because it was written by her sister. I felt thankful that Marilyn's sister would want to open up and share her precious memories. Her stories were heartfelt and you got the sense of getting to know what Marilyn was really like, beyond the Hollywood image she portrayed so well. This book made me sad for Marilyn, sad for Berniece and Mona Rae, and for everyone who knew the real Marilyn, because her life was over way too soon. We in the general public don't stop to think that movie stars are real people with family and friends that love them for who they are without them being famous. We forget they are human beings just like the rest of us. This book was an intimate and gentle look at a legend by someone who loved her.
