"Takes a look at
Marilyn

Manhattan

is home. In
Marilyn
in
Manhattan
, the iconic blond bombshell is not only happy but also successful. She breaks her contract with Fox Studios to form her own production company, a groundbreaking move that makes her the highest-paid actress in history and revolutionizes the entertainment industry. A true love letter to

Marilyn
in
Manhattan
is a beautifully written, lively look at two American treasures--New York and

Monroe--and sheds new light on one of our most enduring icons."--Jacket.
