Description

In 1963, Dawn Novotny was seventeen. She thought God had finally come through for her. Out of nowhere appeared her dashing Prince Charming. Married within three months, she was sure this was redemption for her ragdoll beginnings. Though she had lived in the shadow of illegitimacy, poverty, and physical and sexual abuse, she was sure she would prove worthy to her groom. After all, she had remained a virgin. How was she to know that he expected her to be an aggressive sexpot, or “whore,” as he put it, modeled after the persona of his famous stepmother, Marilyn Monroe? Thus began Dawn’s ill-fated effort to compete with the sexual image of Marilyn. Divorced after two years, she thought of herself as “used goods.” Ironically, she reacted by becoming exactly what Joey had wanted her to be—an alcoholic and a sex object, not only in men’s eyes but in her own.
