Fred Guiles-whom Norman Mailer acknowledges as the chief source of fact about Marilyn-has written the life behind the legend. This book finally sets the record straight. For twenty years, the men and women who knew Marilyn best saw what they knew suppressed because certain important people were still living, and the tenor of the times prohibited frankness. What you may have known about her before was only the tip of the iceberg. ![]() ![]() ![]() Marilyn Monroe remains the most provocative female legend of the twentieth century. ![]() ![]() ![]() Long before FAQs were staples online, I learned, through able teachers and gracious mentors, about the power of Q&As. One thing has remained certain through the decades: I love asking people questions and listening to their answers. I often wondered through the years if I became a journalist because I was curious-or if I was curious because I was a journalist. It continued at Byrd High on the High Life and at Baylor University at The Baylor Lariat.īut it took a dramatic turn when I became a cub reporter at The Times, covering the court beat where I learned how to research documents and records before moving on to politics and features. Perhaps it started with the first interview I ever did, at Barret Elementary School in Shreveport where I was nervously fulfilling my sixth-grade job as editor of The Barret Banner. ![]() ![]() The studio was shut down on Jdue to further cutbacks within Walt Disney Animation Studios.

I love how much affect Legend had on Scarlett before she even knew it. ![]() Best part about their meet is that the mystery to it, get’s you riled up. When she was handed a unique situation, Scarlett keeps her head high. The best beginning EVER! When you’re immobile, have music playing in your ears and it’s pitch black…who wouldn’t freak out?! Nope, not Scarlett…cool, calm and collected hehe always the planner. Not my first read by author and well I can guarantee not last! She kills me with cliffhangers every time but every time I get excited to read it even if I know I will be thorn apart…it’s just THAT AMAZING!
