Marilyn Monroe Biographies you should own 

Andrea, I love all these videos you've done on Marilyn Monroe. I've been collecting books on Marilyn since I was 13 years old. It is worth noting, my family members can remember at the time of Marilyn Monroe's death, there was talk of foul play.

I loved My Story by Marilyn Monroe

I hope to watch in your next videos, more of your Marilyn's books collection. The rarest ones, your most loved or hated ones,... There is a book I just loved about Marilyn is called "Marilyn by Gloria Steinem" with Georges Barris pics. It's a moving book with the last photos of Marilyn. Thanks for this very interesting video.

Really good video, thank you, it just popped up in my news feed. All the recommendations here are spot on and fantastic, really thankful the factual ones are listed. I started many moons ago with My sister, Marilyn. Ive never read Donald Spoto's book so I bought it a few days ago, its coming tomorrow!! Cant wait to start it.

How pretty and interesting ! Definitely will check them out

Thank you so much for your reviews. I was asking myself if I should buy the Icon volumes 1 and 2 from Garry Vitacco Robles and you convinced me. You have such a great collection. I am also obsessed with Marilyn and I do have many many books :)

Wonderful video!

I love your books and I love Marilyn Monroe 💖

Thank You for you video here & recommendations on MM's books! I have started to collect Marilyn's films and building a book collection too. Any word if Gary Vitacco-Robles will release a 3rd book? I enjoyed your video ! Thanks again, David

Andrea, it was either in this video or another that you mentioned having short stories/novelettes with Marilyn Monroe in your library, and that you work in theater. I am currently working on a short story/short film screenplay in the sci-fi /fantasy genre regarding her-- I don't wish to say more and spoil it. After I register it, would you recommend my starting my own website for those who may be interested in that type of thing? I am also writing a sci-fi-fi/fantasy novel, but of a different subject. Perhaps I can have one inclusive website.

Andrea, Have you ever read Marilyn Monroe: The private life of a public icon by Charles Castillo?

What do you think of the celebrated Biographer Lois Banner’s Book,” Marilyn: The Passion and the Paradox?” Have you heard of it / read it? It has very good reviews on Amazon. Lois is a retired Professor who lives in Los Angeles.

What about The book The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe?

Hi Andrea, I tried to contact you via email with a biography question but it was declared undeliverable. So I hope you don’t mind if I pose the question here- When I was a young university student in the summer of 1981 or 1982 an aunt came to visit us. She had brought a Marilyn Monroe biography in a trade paperback format, and though I was not a Monroe aficionado, I did browse through it. That was when I learned that she had died of an overdose at a young age. This book had photos, the last and most upsetting of which was one of her body in profile on an autopsy table. I’m guessing this bio must have been published or reprinted for the 20th anniversary of her death. Do you have any idea what the title or author might’ve been? If so, how would this one rate? I remember very little of it to be honest, except I think it suggested that Marilyn did not necessarily want to die so much as to escape the misery of consciousness.

what’s your opinion on “the secret life of Marilyn Monroe by J.Randy Taraborrelli” do you think it’s a good book? is it accurate?

biographies which don't cover the circumstances of her death are incomplete IMO

Have you read Marilyn in Manhattan?
