About this title

From School Library Journal:

Grade 6-9. The inclusion of many varied, high-quality, black-and-white and full-color photographs makes this compact biography an appealing overview of the actress's life. Her unhappy childhood and rise from obscurity to fame are clearly described. As the highs and lows of Monroe's career and personal life are traced, young people will quickly be drawn into the compelling story of one of Hollywood's best-known stars. The epilogue states that "the circumstances surrounding her death are clouded in mystery" without elaborating on the circumstances or the mystery. By interweaving quotes by Monroe and others into a balanced, if somewhat sanitized account of the celebrity's life, Krohn presents the basic facts and gives readers a starting point for those who want to learn more about the subject.?Janet Woodward, Franklin High School, Seattle,
