Known as the \u2018blonde bombshell\u2019 of the 1950s and \u201960s, Marilyn Monroe was an enigma. Owing to her vivacious curves, love of figure-hugging dresses and iconic red lips, she was largely regarded as a Hollywood siren. Simultaneously, she was the embodiment of vulnerability, sweetness and hope. As such, the reasons for us yearning after the Netflix biopic\u00a0Blonde<\/em>\u00a0on the life of Marilyn Monroe are endless.<\/p>\n

Based on Joyce Carol Oates\u2019s novel by the same name, the movie is being produced by none other than Brad Pitt, and stars Ana De Armas as Norma Jeane Mortenson a.k.a Marilyn Monroe, Bobby Cannavale as her ex-husband, New York Yankee Joe DiMaggio, and Adrien Brody as her third and final partner, playwright Arthur Miller. The film is being touted as a fictional portrait of the late actress and singer during the \u201950s and \u201860s told through a modern lens. As we eagerly await a release date for the biopic, team\u00a0Grazia<\/em> is sharing our list of ways to get up to speed about Marilyn’s life before the film hits our screens.<\/p>\n

Blonde<\/em>\u00a0by Joyce Carol Oates (2000)<\/strong><\/p>\n

An obvious choice which forms the basis for the Netflix biopic. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize,\u00a0Blonde<\/em>\u00a0is a historical fiction novel chronicling the inner life of Marilyn Monroe. Adulation of Marilyn as a celebrity pin-up has always evoked feelings of lust mixed with feelings of pity. Her glittering Hollywood career, three failed marriages, a relationship with a former president, and a tragic death at the young age of 36 are all explored in this fictional account. The legend provocatively comes alive in this heartbreaking tale of fame and fortune.<\/p>\n
