ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Following the great success of her Frida Kahlo and Bowie biographies, Mara Hesse offers Marilyn like you've never seen her before.

She was one of the greatest icons of the 20th century, the most admired face and legs of all time. The public fell in love with her, as well as filmmakers, writers, and even the president of the United States. However, she died alone and misunderstood at the age of thirty six.

But who was Norma Jeane Baker really? Behind the best known actress in film history, behind the sex symbol of an entire era, behind the quintessential prototype of the silly blonde, there was a woman who remains a great unknown.

After making Frida Kahlo and David Bowies hearts blossom, and showing us their most human side, Mara Hesse has now made Marilyn Monroes soul flourish, a woman who, like so many of her contemporaries, blew up all the rules and norms and deserves to be remembered, today than ever, for her talent, her sensitivity, her intelligence, and the barriers she broke.
