The life of Marilyn Monroe can be likened to the takeoff of a lighting rocket - it soars steeply into height, lights up, illuminating vast spaces for a brief moment, and goes out, leaving behind even greater darkness. A half-orphan with a burdened heredity makes a rapid career, becomes an idol for millions of admirers, basks in the rays of fame, makes friends with the most powerful people in the country... and dies at the age of 36 under circumstances that remain a mystery to this day. Accident? Suicide? Murder?.. This book is dedicated to the mystery of the life and death of the famous actress.
