Shirley’s memoir was a first for the screen icon as she decided to give fans a deeper look inside her childhood and years on the screen with unseen family photos from her personal archives. 

She also revealed that she chose to release a memoir and unseen pictures because she knew she didn’t have many years left.

“One day, I was looking at my wall of pictures and just taking everything into consideration specifically, and I thought I should write about this — and that’s what happened,” she told People of the decision to for the first time ever share personal pictures.

“I’ve always known I’d have a long life, so I was looking forward. I’m an optimist anyway. I look forward to the next day rather than — well, I must say, now I wonder how much longer,” she added.

In the book Shirley shocked readers wheshe alleged that she once saw then-President John F Kennedy leaving a bedroom that Marilyn Monroe was in, only for his brother Bobby to walk in and close the door.”

Marilyn was in the bedroom.”
