MARILYN MONROE: BEYOND THE LEGEND

Her story is a classic: lonely child, yearning for affection and approval, becomes Hollywood's greatest love goddess, scaling heights few even dream of. But in spite of breakdowns, failed marriages, and sordid rumours surrounding her life (and death), Marilyn was never just a "victim". She was unique, a phenomenon as vital today as ever, and all that is blazingly magical in a star. Here is the "real" Marilyn, in her great moments on film (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire, The Seven Year Itch, Some Like It Hot, Bus Stop, The Misfits), and more. Also, the earliest films, home movies, archival footage, and the memories of those who knew her best, including Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters, Susan Strasberg, Don Murray and Celest Holm.
