Tras el exito de sus biografias de Frida Kahlo y Bowie, Maria Hesse nos entrega a una Marilyn como nunca antes la habias visto
Fue uno de los grandes iconos del siglo XX, el rostro y las piernas mas populares de todos los tiempos. De ella se enamoro el gran publico, ademas de cineastas, escritores o el mismisimo presidente de los Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, murio sola e incomprendida a los treinta y seis anos.
?Quien era verdaderamente Norma Jeane Baker? Tras la actriz mas conocida de la historia cinematografica, tras el simbolo sexual de toda una epoca, tras el prototipo por excelencia de la rubia tonta, se escondia una mujer que sigue siendo una gran desconocida.
Tras hacer florecer los corazones de Frida Kahlo y de David Bowie, y descubrirnos su lado mas humano, Maria Hesse ha hecho brotar el alma de Marilyn Monroe, una mujer que, como tantas contemporaneas, hizo saltar por los aires todos los canones y merece ser recordada, hoy mas que nunca, por su talento, su sensibilidad, su inteligencia y las barreras que rompio.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Following the great success of her Frida Kahlo and Bowie biographies, Maria Hesse offers Marilyn like you’ve never seen her before.
She was one of the greatest icons of the 20th century, the most admired face and legs of all time. The public fell in love with her, as well as filmmakers, writers, and even the president of the United States. However, she died alone and misunderstood at the age of thirty-six.
But who was Norma Jeane Baker really? Behind the best-known actress in film history, behind the sex symbol of an entire era, behind the quintessential prototype of the silly blonde, there was a woman who remains a great unknown.
After making Frida Kahlo and David Bowie’s hearts blossom, and showing us their most human side, Maria Hesse has now made Marilyn Monroe’s soul flourish, a woman who, like so many of her contemporaries, blew up all the rules and norms and deserves to be remembered, today more than ever, for her talent, her sensitivity, her intelligence, and the barriers she broke.
