Product Description
Film makers have been exploring the life and legend of Marilyn Monroe for decades…and they will probably continue to do so for decades to come. Here is a collection of three movies about the iconic blonde bombshell.
Goodbye, Norma Jean (1976): The story of the troubled adolescence and stormy early film career of screen goddess Marilyn Monroe receives a lurid but arresting retelling in this biodrama by Larry Buchanan. Misty Rowe stars as munitions factory worker Norma Jean Baker, whose path to superstardom was riddled by exploitation and abuse. Patch Mackenzie, Terence Locke, and Stuart Lancaster co-star.
Marilyn And Me (1991): In the early '70s, writer/filmmaker Robert Slatzer came forward to assert that he had been an intimate of Marilyn Monroe since the late '40s…and that they'd had a brief, studio-annulled marriage in 1952. His claims served as the basis of this made-for-TV offering, starring Susan Griffiths as Marilynn and Jesse Dabson as Slatzer. Terry Moore, Kurt Fuller, Sandy McPeak, and Michael Cavanaugh co-star.
Blonde (2001): Based on Joyce Carol Oates' "biographical reimagining" of Marilyn Monroe, this moving drama traces the screen siren's ill-fated life, from a turbulent childhood in foster homes, through her rise to the top of the Hollywood pantheon, to her doomed marriages and continual search for love.
