Actors and Singers: The Lives of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley

Written by Kelly Mass

Narrated by Chris Newman

This is a compilation of 2 different titles, which are about the following topics:

1: Marilyn Monroe has been part of the sexual revolution during the mid-20th century. Her influence in the movie industry, as an icon for attractiveness and femininity, have been noticed by hundreds of millions, even after her death.

 

Did Marilyn Monroe have success? Yes. Was her life easy? Not by far. Her failed marriages, early childhood trauma, mood disorder, and some of the struggles with her sexuality, contracts, and Hollywood producers have made her life go up and down so much that I’m sure she would describe some moments as the ultimate bliss and others as a living hell.

 

To understand such a complicated mess, a life covered in glamor and at the same time, tainted by manipulative individuals and her own weaknesses, addictions, and imperfections, we have to take a closer look. This way, we can understand why the world’s eyes were on her, and why she is still recognized as a symbol of attractiveness.

2: Elvis Presley is the famous singer who caused so much controversy that he was hated and loved among most of the American people. His sexual moves, his novel way of putting songs together… there was just something about him that attracted the ladies and the media attention at the same time.

 

Elvis didn’t grow up with wealth and fame. In a way, you could say he was living the American dream. However, he was kind of a bad boy as well, facing legal troubles, broken relationships and drug abuse. His death was lamented by many but his music lived on. Explore the era and methods of Elvis with us in this concise book/biography about his life.

Reviews for Actors and Singers

[Margy Fish · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is a hidden treasure. This audio book includes precious info. Let me think for a sec ... how should I explain this? It was expert, simple, and reasonable. With that being said, yep, I do highly endorse this book. No doubt about it. I learned a lot just by soaking all of it up. The information was terrific, particularly if you already understand a little about the idea. Really, you might understand nothing about it and still follow along easily.
