“She was an inspired comic who understood the art and craft of comedy in cinema and could debate it, if she was allowed, with any critic in the world. All these performances, in their various tonal registers – dark, light, happy, sexy, rueful – show again and again the quality that made her a poster girl in the first place: that sublime gift for comedy.”  Peter Bradshaw on MM

This is the latest Marilyn book in my collection; The Mmm Girl by Tara Hanks. It is very unique as it is written as Marilyn herself! Tara is very well respected within the Marilyn community so I’m hoping this will be good! :)

Joyce Carol Oates, ‘Black Dahlia and White Rose’, from LA Noire: The Collected Stories Well—this is true! So many of us yearning for this “break”—which will make the sadness of our lives fade, we think—like shadows on a wall when the sun comes out. & we will think then ’Now the sadness of my life is forgotten. Now—there will be a new life.’
