A new Netflix documentary claims to lift the veil on the secrets of Marilyn Monroe’s disappearance. 60 years after her death, the actress remains an inexhaustible source of inspiration.
Recall Marilyn Monroe, as a new Netflix documentary does, is to summon all the glamor of the great Hollywood hours. Actress, model, singer… Marilyn Monroe holds a special place in the galaxy of American stars. Especially since the mystery of his death still maintains his legend. Nothing, however, predestined her to glory. Abandoned child, tossed from foster families to homes, Norma Jeane Baker caught the eye of a photographer in the factory where she worked. The pin-up will take several years to reinvent herself as Marilyn Monroe.
To overcome her shyness and become a real actress, she took acting lessons from the start. But it is revamped in ultra-sexy platinum blonde that Marilyn Monroe continues the roles. She finally knows an international glory. “We confined her to this character that she had made herself, but which became a kind of golden prison. She said that she was a prisoner of her appearance, and that people thought that she had no nothing in the brain, which is totally false”Explain Isabelle Daniel, author of Marilyn Monroe from A to Z. The ambiguity of her character will also weigh on her romantic relationships, which are often disappointing. 60 years later, it is above all the mystery surrounding his death that remains. On the night of August 4 to 5, 1962, Marilyn Monroe died at home. A first report concludes to a probable suicide. But the circumstances remain unclear.
