Details

• Release Year: 1996

• Plot: Her beauty was disarming. Her allure undeniable. Yet this celebrated icon of American sexuality was a carefully crafted character - a showbiz concoction that could never quite hide the real-life vulnerability of a thrown-away child desperate for love and intimacy. ; ; Married to baseball legend Joe DiMaggio, and later to playwright Arthur Miller, Marilyn Monroe spent her life struggling to rise above the sexual stereotype of a dumb blonde. Her most intimate friends ranged from her on-set 'stand-ins' to President John F. Kennedy, yet she died alone - poisned by prescription sedatives amid circumstances that still raise suspicions 35 years later.
