Marilyn Monroe

“We’re calling her Marilyn Monroe.” Those were the words 12-year-old Jane Lawrence remembered when she was asked to head the up-and-coming blonde starlet’s fan club at 20th Century Fox under the supervision of studio head Darryl Zanuck. Jane was no stranger to movie sets or movie stars, being that her father, Sidney Lipsitch, headed RKO’s legal department. She spent many Saturday afternoons at her home with the likes of Robert Mitchum, Lucille Ball, and Ethel Merman, but helping launch the career of one of the world’s most legendary sex symbols was a task beyond Jane’s wildest dreams.Nearly four decades later, author Tony Jerris was introduced to Jane through a mutual friend and learned how Jane’s working relationship with the actress developed into a special friendship that lasted right up until Marilyn’s untimely death on August 5th, 1962. Told in Jane’s voice, this is a story of an elderly woman reflecting upon her fondest memories of the blue-eyed screen goddess and how she became a confidante of sorts, who Marilyn used to call “My Little Secret.”Since its release, ''Marilyn Monroe: My Little Secret'' has been ranked one of the Top 20 Marilyn books by Gutsy Books. It's been featured on a variety of media outlets such as Extra-TV and The Young Turks Show, and written up in numerous worldwide publications and online sites including The Globe, The Enquirer, The Daily Mirror, Radar Online, Perez Hilton & Hidden Hollywood News. It was also named one of 2012’s Top Scandals in The Globe, and continues to be written up in numerous magazines and websites.
