Reliable sources


Hi all. I'm really interested in learning about Marilyn but find so many online sources highly unreliable. If you can share some of the best sources you've found, well-cited online articles/sites or books, I'd be much obliged. Take care.

___Your reply is likely to be akin to, do you take the Bible literally? Monroe fans, those that really love her have sloshed through the muckraking authors, friends and foes, so we really have a huge BS shield in place. I would strongly advise to reserve judgement until you have sampled at least 5 different bios. Also, if anyone suggests one author as definitive, don't believe it, especially if their name is Donald Spoto, Barbara Leaming, or worst of all J. Randy Taraborrelli!

I recommend a mid-80s Anthony Summers book called Goddess.
