Sachbuch Marilyn the Passion and the Paradox Lois Banner New York [u.a.] Bloomsbury 2012 Like her art, Marilyn Monroe was rooted in paradox: She was a powerful star and a childlike waif; a joyful, irreverent party girl with a deeply spiritual side; a superb friend and a narcissist; a dumb blonde and an intellectual. No previous biographer has recognized - much less attempted to analyze- most of these aspects of her personality. 9781608195312 9781608195312 1608195317 1608195317 515 S. : Ill.
