Marilyn Monroe's hidden battle with 'debilitating' endometriosis

Marilyn Monroe's hidden battle with 'debilitating' endometriosis

NewsBytes 2 weeks ago
Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe, who would have turned 100 on Monday (June 1), battled endometriosis at a time when there was no awareness surrounding it.
This condition was "so severe that it destroyed her marriages, her wish for children, her career and ultimately her life," as per Anthony Summers's 1985 book Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe. The National Library of Medicine called Monroe "one of the most famous sufferers from endometriosis." But fame wasn't enough to help her.
