In part 1 of my interview with Last Catherine, we discussed where Marilyn Monroe came from — how she went from being a teenage war bride named Norma Jean to being an established movie star called Marilyn Monroe, one of the most photographed women in the world.
In part 2 of this interview, we discuss the last 10 years of Marilyn’s life and career, including
— her tumultuous marriages to Joe DiMaggio & Arthur Miller
— her insecurities and dependence on prescription pills
— her (in)famous rendition of “Happy Birthday, Mr. President”
— her final, unfinished movie, Something’s Gotta Give
— her tragic, mysterious death (suicide? accident? murder?)
