About this listen

Marilyn Monroe had the most famous face of the 20th century. A legendary actress, comedienne, and sex symbol, she has been one of Hollywood’s most talked-about performers ever since she first crossed the silver screen. Her fame persisted long after her tragic death—but as time has gone by, it has become almost impossible to separate the legend of the woman born as Norma Jeane from the truth.

Now, at last, Marilyn’s real story can be told.

Written in 1954, as she approached the height of her fame, this heart-wrenching unfinished autobiography provides the best possible glimpse into what it meant to be Marilyn Monroe. From its unflinching account of her desperately poor childhood to its firsthand look at the inside of the Hollywood fame machine, My Story gives us the Marilyn nobody else saw. As her story continues to be reevaluated and retold, including in the forthcoming Netflix biopic Blonde, starring Ana de Armas, this book is the key to separating fact from fiction.

A heartfelt, honest, and deeply moving first-hand account of Marilyn Monroe’s early life.
Told with brutal honesty and raw vulnerability, this autobiography reveals the extraordinary woman behind the icon—someone who helped shape an entire industry.

I only wish we spent more time exploring this Marilyn—the thoughtful, intelligent, and deeply curious human being—instead of the tabloid caricature we’ve all come to know.

She was truly inspirational, with a radiance and sensitivity that captured the very essence of the human soul. RIP 👑

Deeply moving. A truly remarkable women! 👑
