BOOKWORM


The Hollywood I knew was the Hollywood of failure. Nearly everybody I met suffered from malnutrition or suicide impulses. It was like the line in the poem, "Water, water, everywhere but not a drop to drink."

Fame, fame, everywhere but not a hello for us.

-- Monroe, on the early days of her career, taken from her unfinished autobiography, My Story, posthumously published in 1974.
