I questioned the ethics of not only the author but all within the book. As I read I found myself questioning the truth behind a lot of what is claimed, making mental notes to further my research. Within Marilyn Monroe My Little Secret Tony Jerris has created a story that places Marilyn Monroe in not only a position of being bisexual but in one that has her making sexual advances toward a minor. It shouts controversy from the very beginning and is clear by its content that this is what Tony Jerris is hoping to draw, whilst giving Jane a voice. This is a well presented and published book that provides a title and cover that intrigues and leads one to wondering what is on the inside.

This was the start of a friendship for years to come. Jane Lawrence was 12 years old when she was became the head of the fan club for Marilyn Monroe.

Marilyn Monroe My Little Secret, written by Tony Jerris but told in the voice of Jane Lawrence, is the story of the friendship between Jane and Marilyn Monroe. 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.” 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. 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. Jane was no stranger to movie sets or movie stars, being that her father, Sidney Lipsitch, headed RKO’s legal department. “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.
