With her flawless beauty and childlike charisma, actress Marilyn Monroe continues to wield the most iconic screen presence in cinematic history. From her early days as a model to her meteoric acting career, and from her star-studded marriages to her tragic drug overdose at the age of 34, Marilyn lived her whole adult life in front of the camera. Fittingly, this documentary presents an intimate portrait of the legendary sex symbol through a collection of film clips that includes trailers for classic movies such as GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES, THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH, and SOME LIKE IT HOT; newsreel footage of important events in her life such as her marriage to baseball great Joe DiMaggio and her infamous birthday serenade to President John F. Kennedy; and musical performances of definitive numbers such as "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend" and "I Wanna be Loved by You." [More]
