Description

Purchase this paperback & get the video-enhanced Kindle eBook free (it has 45 minutes of Marilyn's greatest movie scenes!) Originally she was Norma Jean Mortenson and bounced from foster homes and an orphanage until she was 16 and married a man who soon would be shipped off to military service in World War Two. While her first husband fought the War, she assembled military drones in a factory near Los Angeles. But something happened at the factory that would soon change Postwar America and the world, too. It was here that photographer David Conover recognized her photogenic sex appeal, taking picture after picture. Soon he got her on various magazine covers. With that as ammunition, David persuaded the U.S. Army Air Forces' Motion Picture Unit to come to the factory to shoot morale-boosting films of female War workers, but none of Marilyn's scenes were actually used. By 1947, she broke into Hollywood movies, but all her scenes were dropped or minimized to a one-line bit part. Marilyn just wasn't making it in movies, not until she auditioned for a part that perfectly fit her-a role as a burlesque star in the 1949 movie Ladies of the Chorus, her first successful role. This remarkable book not only details every movie she starred in-complete with 100s of film stills-it also includes a free eBook, the Kindle edition with video enhancements that show her onscreen as the character Peggy Martin, a stripper careening across the stage, taking off her clothes to music. There are over 50 more of Marilyn's movie scenes you can view with the free video-enhanced Kindle eBook that comes with this coffee-table size print book. Both the books and the videos start with her first movie and end with her last one from 1961. Read about and watch her on screen with her favorite, and very last costar, Clark Gable. Don't miss this book and the accompanying videos that lovingly portray her entire movie career that includes 45 minutes of dazzling movie scenes. Among them are Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), Bus Stop (1956), Some Like it Hot (1959), and a dozen more of her in films. Get it now, two books for the price of one: the print edition plus the video-enhanced eBook for the "complete picture" of Marilyn Monroe in every way!
