About The Girl: Marilyn Monroe, The Seven Year Itch, and the Birth of an Unlikely Feminist
With an in-depth look at the two most empowering years in the life of Marilyn Monroe, The Girl details how The Seven Year Itch created an icon and sent the star on an adventure of self-discovery and transformation from a controlled wife and contract player into a businesswoman and unlikely feminist whose power is still felt today. • Ended her marriage to Joe DiMaggio and later began a relationship with Arthur Miller; • Legally changed her name to Marilyn Monroe, divorcing herself from the troubled past of Norma Jeane; • Started her own production company; • Studied in private lessons with Lee and Paula Strasberg of the Actors Studio and became a part of the acting revolution of the day
