Though Mailer's best-selling opus about Marilyn could arguably be classified as a photography book, and though some would be tempted to classify it under "Fiction", I am placing it here because it was certainly intended to be a true biography.

Further Reading

Other books that, though listed under different categories (or not available to me at this time), contain a considerable amount of biographical information:

My Sister Marilyn
by Berniece Baker Miracle
This book by Marilyn's half-sister contains a wealth of biographical information about Marilyn's childhood.

The Life and Curious Death of Marilyn Monroe
by Robert Slatzer
As the title suggests, Slatzer's well-known book offers a good deal of information on Marilyn's life in addition to the investigation into her death.

All of the books in the Equal Mix section of this web site contain a fair amount of biographical information.
