Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe: The Last Interview and Other Conversations

These four interviews span eight years, covering the majority of Marilyn Monroe's brief life and the mature years of her career. Monroe created iconic images for the 20th-century film industry, yet was consumed by the pop culture icon of her blonde portrayal. In this sense, her tragedy lies not only in her orphaned childhood and tragic early death, but also in her captivity in the imaginations of others. These articles, published in publications like Film Magazine and Life, reveal a heart of sincerity, diligence, and courage beyond her public persona.
★ "The Last Interviews" (Volume 2) follows the interviews with 6 literary giants in the first volume. Listen to 6 extraordinary women from various fields such as law, film, sociology, and literature: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Marilyn Monroe, Jane Jacobs, Toni Morrison, Joan Didion, and Ursula K. Le Guin. They broke through social conventions, created their own world in their respective fields, and influenced the world today.
The 20th century saw profound changes in the world, including the role of women in society. The six extraordinary women featured in this series have profoundly impacted their respective fields, defying societal expectations of gender roles. Their lives have inspired generations.
★ Marilyn Monroe created one of the most iconic screen images of the 20th century, yet she became a prisoner of pop culture iconography. In interviews spanning eight years, she recounts the hardships and courage behind her orphan's rise to stardom, revealing a genuine and courageous heart.
★ Interviews sit somewhere between autobiography and biography, narrating oneself and the world through the dual perspectives of self and others. The "Last Interviews" series features rare interviews from the archives of publications like The New York Times, Life, Film Magazine, Time, and Interview, bearing witness to the wisdom of our time.
★ Spend a cup of coffee and listen to a brave and energetic heart!
"I am many people at once. They sometimes shock me. I wish I were just me!" - Marilyn Monroe "Marilyn was a sharp, misunderstood person, more perceptive than people generally give her credit for. She had been brought down, but she had a tremendous emotional intelligence—a keen intuition for how other people were feeling, a wisdom of the highest order." - Marlon Brando "I owe a lot to Marilyn Monroe... She was an extraordinary woman, a little ahead of her time. She didn't even know it." - Ella Fitzgerald
