Morgan, Michelle

An enjoyable peek into the past that provides insight into Monroe’s life and the zeitgeist of 1950s England. Film buffs and fans of the era will enjoy Morgan’s biography, as will any reader interested in Monroe and her enduring legacy.

The lack of significant new material and the padded, pedestrian style of the writing make this a less than compelling addition to the Todd canon. It would probably be of interest only to those not previously knowledgeable about the actress's life and death.

A lovely valentine to the top-selling female recording artist of all time; as Madge herself sings on Rebel Heart, her latest album: "Bitch, I'm Madonna!"
