Lynn Cullen is joining us today on the ITBR! If you're looking for a new historical fiction novel to sink your teeth into, look no further than Lynn Cullen's "When We Were Brilliant"! This bestseller author joins us to talk about Marilyn Monroe's centennial and the photographer who saw her most clearly, Eve Arnold.
In this episode, we dive into the myths built around Marilyn Monroe, from the studio system that boxed her in to the conspiracy theories that overshadowed her achievements. Why does the public keep telling the same story about her, and what changes when we look at the intellect, drive, and agency she actually had?
Check out When We Were Brilliant and the rest of Cullen's novels down below!
