What reading level is Marilyn: a Biography book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
She wants more money and the right to choose her script and director. They refuse. By the end of 1953, Niagara, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire will gross $25,000,000 for Twentieth, more than any other movie star will earn for a studio in those twelve months. Yet she is not yet being paid $1,000 a week (while working with Jane Russell who gets $100,000 for the same film), and even has to fight for a decent dressing room. Executives tell Marilyn she is spoiled.
“Remember, ...you’re not a star,” they tell her.
She has one of her better moments. “Well, gentlemen, whatever I am, the name of this picture is Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and whatever I am, I am the blonde.”
It would seem in retrospect as if they could renegotiate her contract or sweeten the choice of films. Her resentment already exhibits itself in the form of showdowns and will yet cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars, even millions, but they cannot be conciliatory, for she is attacking the foundation of the studio system, and that base is built on decades of entrenched waste.
