As E. L. Doctorow has done with
Dutch Schultz or Don DeLillo with
Lee Harvey Oswald, Sam Toperoff
has used both the freedoms and the
discipline of fiction to transform a
mythical figure into flesh and blood.
Toperoff creates thirteen crises in the
life of Marilyn Monroe that take her
from the precocious and abused ten-
year-old Norma Jean Baker through
an ill-fated teenage marriage to her
emergence as the determined starlet
who becomes America s own Venus.
Toperoff s mastery is in how he
uses the facts of Marilyn s life--her
marriages to Joe DiMaggio and
Arthur Miller, her relationships with
Lee Strasberg, Simone Signoret, and
Frank Lloyd Wright--to create a
complex character who displays wit,
guile, tenderness, and anxiety. Imag-
ined dramas that take place in a sur-
geon s office, President Sukarno s
hotel suite, the press bex at Yankee
Stadium, a house in Connecticut, and
finally in Marilyn s bedroom when
the Queen of Desire pours out her
last words to an all-night talk-show
host draw us closer to Marilyn than
any biography ever could.
