Description: She was Marilyn Monroe===what more can you say? (she would be 96 this year). Died 18 yrs before I was born. Ok, so she was more a sex symbol than a talented actress, but we can all agree she was one of a kind.

Reframed: Marilyn Monroe
( 2022 )
Reframed: Marilyn Monroe is a four-part CNN Original Series that revisits the extraordinary story of a girl who sprang from nowhere to become the most famous woman in the world. Narrated by Golden Globe-winning actress Jessica Chastain and featuring a star-studded cast of female voices, the series re-examines Monroe's story to uncover themes of feminism, sexuality, and power that continue to drive the cultural conversation today. It reveals a complex, fascinating woman who took on powerbrokers in Hollywood and courageously challenged the misogyny of 1950s America, all while beating the odds to succeed in a man's world. Marilyn's story isn't just the story of one woman—in many ways, it is the story of every woman.

The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe
( 2015 )
Based on The New York Times best-seller, The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe begins with the young Norma Jeane Mortenson as she battles a lonely, loveless existence with an absent and mentally ill mother. She ultimately reinvents herself as the sex symbol of an era. A fragile artist, she is very different from the larger-than-life image she portrayed. The great secret of Marilyn's life is that her mother, Gladys, remained a vital -- and troubling -- part of her world. Her marriages to Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller collapse in part due to her own inner demons and the onslaught of her mother's illness. As Marilyn cares for her mother, her obsession with President John F. Kennedy leads to a breakdown and hospitalization. Still, she gives the performance of her life as Marilyn Monroe.
