Unseen diary entries show tragic Hollywood star's intellectual side, not least her thoughts on Italian renaissance art
Her platinum hair, perfect pout and hourglass silhouette made her one of the most recognisable but one-dimensional public figures of the 20th century. Now, as they prepare to bring out a collection of Marilyn Monroe's private writing, publishers hope to reveal the intellectual and emotional depths of the cinematic icon.
The previously unseen diary entries, musings and poems penned by the actor from her late teens until she apparently took her own life in 1962 at the age of 36, were first bequeathed to Monroe's friend and acting teacher Lee Strasberg. He left them to his wife, Anna, when he died in 1982.
Fragments, the title of the volume due to appear on bookshelves in October, will be published jointly by the Editions du Seuil in France and Farrar, Straus and Giroux in the United States.
