Love, Marilyn

Documentary
<p>Marilyn Monroe invented a public persona that concealed a private side known only to her closest confidants.

This is a wife who took pills because the husband she had saved from infamy no longer believed in her. Fifty years after her death, her creation still blazes brightly in our cultural imagination, while the creator continues to lurk in the shadows. <i>Love, Marilyn </i>brilliantly reverses this polarity, casting the icon aside and bringing the real woman to life.</p><p>Drawing on never-before-seen personal papers, diaries and letters, Academy Award-nominated director Liz Garbus works with acclaimed actors to evoke the multiple aspects of the real Marilyn: passion, ambition, insecurity, soul-searching, power and fear.
