Marilyn Monroe is an icon of the 20th century. Born as an illegitimate child and named Norma Jean Baker, her blonde bombshell image won the hearts of millions around the world. Her journey to becoming Hollywood's most glamorous and beautiful star, surprisingly stemmed from a childhood of poverty and neglect. The continued fascination with Marilyn derives in part from the untimeliness of her death. Her stardom has only escalated since her departure.

It's been said that Monroe played the best game with the worst hand. From an arranged marriage at age 16 to her rumoured affairs with President Kennedy and his younger brother Robert, Monroe's life was forever under the spotlight. This documentary follows Marilyn Monroe's life and death, aged just 36.
