Synopsis:
Marilyn Monroe was our fantasy; Norma Jean Baker was her reality. More than 30 years have passed since Marilyn Monroe's death. The most provocative female legend of the twentieth century, she remains the definitive Hollywood screen icon. Although the blonde bombshell with the breathless little girl voice was dynamite at the box office, success, wealth and fame did not satisfy Marilyn. Love eluded her, insanity shadowed her, and the past haunted her. This is the story of a woman named Norma Jean who transformed herself into the legend Marilyn Monroe, but could not shake the anger, desperation and insecurities of a lonely, frightened little girl looking for love and affection.
