What to expect

Norma Jean Baker was a Hollywood starlet who transformed into Marilyn Monroe, a Hollywood sex symbol and one of the world's most iconic figures. Sadly, she died at age 36 in 1962 from a drug overdose. Montgomery Clift was a highly regarded actor who earned four Academy Award nominations for such classics as A Place in the Sun and From Here to Eternity. Dependent on drugs and alcohol, Clift was only 45 when he died of heart disease in 1966.

But imagine if the lives of the costars of The Misfits had not been cut short? In this pair of speculative biographies, two writers suppose what might have been if Monroe and Clift had survived their drug-related demises. Would Monroe have solidified her burgeoning reputation as a comic actress? Would Clift conquer his demons and find personal happiness? These vividly imaginative "biographies" are thoughtful, honest, heartfelt— and entirely within the realm of possibility, as the authors engage in an intriguing exercise of " What if… ?"
