How did Marilyn Monroe become one of the greatest sex symbols of all tme? What drove a prudish little Californian girl, who was not especially pretty nor exceptionally talented, to become this incredibly striking platinum blonde superstar? How did she become the icon capable of balancing innocence with raw sensuality, whilst continuing to captivate the masses to this day? How did she achieve this? And what price did she pay?

As this August we commemorate the 60th anniversary of her death, our documentary will detail and analyze the intimate psychological journey of Norma Jeane Baker, calling on never-before-interviewed relatives and experts in the field of psychology. The result of 10 years of extensive research, we are now able to unravel the myth of Marilyn and correct the wild inaccuracies found within so many documentaries and biographies. So many people have been taken in by the pre-approved, media friendly story, which was in fact invented by Marilyn herself.
