Overview

Nearly fifty years after her death, Marilyn Monroe remains an absolute icon, the image of a superficial and sensual blonde forever etched in the collective imagination. But behind the legend lies a more complex reality: that of Norma Jeane Baker, a young woman abandoned by all who constantly lurched from euphoria to the depths of despair. Throughout her life, Marilyn attempted to free herself from her image and access her truth. You will discover the little-known episodes from the last years of the star's life. Why did she abandon Hollywood and move to New York under an assumed name in 1954? How did she end up locked away in a psychiatric clinic after filming "The Misfits"? What did her diaries contain? What was her relationship with her psychoanalyst? Finally, under what circumstances did this 36-year-old woman meet her death? Using numerous testimonies and archival material, the teams paint a portrait of a mysterious and tormented personality.
