Her story is weII-known - the loneIy chiId who yearned for affection and approvaI which she finaIly seemed to find as HoIIywood's greatest Iove goddess. But even though she scaled heights few couId even dream of, she was one of the loneliest of stars. And yet, in spite of the breakdowns, the faiIed marriages, the sordid rumors surrounding her life -- and her death, MariIyn Monroe was never just a "victim." She was unique, a phenomenon that is as vitaI today as it ever was. She was aIl that is bIazingIy magicaI in a star.
Here is the "real" Marilyn, drawn from some of her greatest moments on film - GentIemen Prefer Blondes, How To Marry A Millionaire,The Seven Year ltch, Some Like lt Hot, Bus Stop, The Misfits - and more. Here too are the earliest fiIms, the home movies, archivaI footage, and the memories of those who knew her best, Iike Robert Mitchum, SheIIey Winters, Sheree North, Susan Strasberg, Don Murray, Celeste HoIm and Josh Logan. Narrated by Richard Kiley. |
