Thank you for the interview on a book that looks so interesting. I enjoyed Carole's video and have always been fascinated by Marilyn Monroe.

Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jean) was a woman who captivated the time she was alive and famous and I was a somewhat young person then. I look forward to reading more about this. The poem you shared really brings it back to me. I have read a lot about her. It is and was sad to see what happened to her and I don't think we know all of it.
