This docu gives the viewer insights into the last day of Marilyn Monroe's life as well as her backstory as a fascinating character who strove to be a good actress.
Before this docu, people already knew something about her affair with the Kennedy brothers and her ties to friends who were avowed Communists. Non-Americans know less about her failed marriages to Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller.
Investigative journalist Anthony Summers paints (through his sources including John Houston, the Greenson family and even private eyes like Fred Otash and Reed Wilson) a tragic life going back to her traumatic childhood as an orphan and her early life as a waif. She always felt that no one likes her and that she's never used to being happy.
If anything, this film drives home the point, as happens elsewhere to other celebs, that fame and glam couldn't prevent her from ending her life in an unglamorous way. It categorically rules out murder but avers that there was a cover-up that probably involved RFK which then begs a lot of unanswered questions.
Watch this film to get nostalgic and re-trace those fateful days leading to the death of the world's only veritable sex symbol.
