The fascination the world continues to have with Marilyn Monroe is not unjust, she is iconic, an unforgettable star who made 33 movies during a 15 year career and left a lasting legacy.
Fragments is a beautiful collection of personal poems, intimate notes and letters by Marilyn Monroe gives a deep insight it some of Monroes inner turmoil, showing her deep struggle with her self and how little control she felt over the life she was living.
A couple of extracts from Fragments:
I can't stand human beings sometimes.
I know they have their problems
As I have mine - but I'm really too tired for it.
Trying to understand, making allowances, seeing certain things
That just weary me.
For life
It is rather a determination not to be overwhelmed
For work
The truth can only ever be recalled, not invented.
