- Marilyn Monroe is the defining icon of the American 1950s. A seemingly fairytale transformation of rags to riches, a shining example of the mythical American dream. However, as the decade continued, the myth of Marilyn Monroe and the American Dream seemed to crumble.

It’s interesting that both Marilyn and Elvis had a mother named Gladys.
Money is not the girls best friend. Knowledge, education, common sense, values, morals and self steem are.
But money helps. We live in a capitalist society.
Diamonds are most definitely not mine.... I like rubies 😂
Need money to invest in a good education , only a small % get scholarships
@@arianbyw3819lol agreed 😂❤
Liz Taylor said
people were although in a certain way diamonds can help if you find yourself without money you might sell them to avoid misery
I don't believe she committed suicide at all. She just wanted to be loved. And I believe she thought she found that in someone she wasn't supposed to be with. So she was dealt with. Either way. It's so incredibly sad. I absolutely adore her. RiP Norma Jean
Marylin estava colocando sua vida em risco ao se envolver com dois homens ao mesmo tempo. Porém nunca se sabe a veracidade dos fatos , ou boatos.
No, it was probably accidental overdose.
It wasn't a planned suicide, it was an overdose
Many stars have died this way
Like a married man?
Marilyn tried to commit suicide with pills three times.
I have always felt sorry for her…she didn’t really have guidance and her need to earn money put in a bad situation and her marriages didn’t help …her childhood was not good either…even as a movie star she was really not understood. She is a very sad story!
None of us are understood, life is hard. Fascinating to watch her and learn about her. Hollywood didn't protect her, they exploited her, used her, and killed her. She was just a money machine, not a person. Britney Spears is in the same boat. Fame sucks so does Hollywood.
You did a wonderful job of narrating this documentary. Beautiful 🎉
Amazing. Best documentary on her I’ve seen. Thank you. What a loss. She sold what the people wanted and she Won that title she owns forever. No one will ever replace. Sad how it ended I’m mad that no one helped her. And I hope the doctor that kept prescribing was held accountable. RIP beautiful lady. 🙏
Rest well Marilyn. ❤🕯️🕊️
She can't rest until her name is cleared.

@@melissajenniferjones9959 Taking her own life.
Somehow or other Marilyn Monroe Ji didst indeed take her own life.
Made millions for the entertainment industry and ruined a human being.
Oh wow 😔😩
why are all the top stars ruined?
You completely skip over the two films connected with her own Production Company. Marilyn won the Golden Globe for best actress in March 1960, not 1959. And Let's Make Love was shot and released in 1960, it didn't start in 1959. Any delay on that film was not Marilyn's fault, but rather a writer's strike that interrupted it's progress. More blaming Marilyn for something she didn't even do. John Huston lied about the reason Marilyn left The Misfits set. It was more to do with his huge gambling losses than Marilyn's health.
🤔 Yes, but let's not let the truth get in the way of a good story !....
this is the best doc I’ve seen yet on Marilyn the others are a little outdated
Thank you for mentioning this because a lot of people tried to blame her to hide their own misbehavior. Shame on John Houston. What a loser to blame production costs and losses on someone struggling with mental and physical health, instead of acknowledging that it was his own gambling the whole time.
To truly understand MM you have to keep in mind she was bipolar, or as it was referred to in her day as manic depression. I felt sorry for her because I am not sure she was properly treated for it. The notes from her psychiatrist was quite revealing about how different her private life was than what you saw on the screen.
A fama deixou Marylin esgotada
Modern psych theory is that she had borderline personality disorder & attachment disorder.
@@sarahholland2600agree. poster child for BPD with a likely co-occurring HPD
@@sarahholland2600 I agree. her symptoms fit closer to BPD, a big sign of that is not having a foundation of knowing who you are. That's why she was so insecure
@@chicanapunkLA Its so interesting to me that despite her confident, sexy movie persona, friends described her as shy & introvert. Also her first husband Jim Dougherty said she had periods of anxiety & depression that were so bad she didnt want to leave the house. I have a huge collection of Marilyn books & have been fascinated by her since I was around 12.
The dumb-blond stereotype was created by men and willingly played by women for a too-long time. Men loved the fantasy of a gorgeous woman who'd be too dumb to not fall for any of them, while women loved the attention of such role.
Hellywood
Marilyn never pretended to be a dumb blonde. She just got typecast in movies as one.
There is nothing wrong with the "dumb blonde" act as long as men and women allow the actor to transcend into new roles. They typecast the woman and then wouldn't let her manage her success of the image. I believe the production company is at the root of her death. She was getting ready to take somebody's percent of the picture business. Remember, it was said that when her name was on the theater marquee the revenue went way up. Her death had little to do with Kennedy as the POTUS and politics. If anything, her success would have benefited the "party" financially. Her death benefited somebody in hollywood. Bete Davies went through seperation pains to Hollywood and so did
Olivia de Havilland. Braking the slave chains from powerful is dangerous. Better Davis tried he hand a self production and she was not treated farely in the distribution of her films. The same person's probably leaked her nude photos hoping it would destroy her career. New York was her sanctuary, but they got her in California.
RIP Marilyn, used and let down by those whom she sought help and trusted.
So hard to believe this was 70 years ago 🤯
And we're all still obsessed with her.
70 years since she died ?. What school 🚸 did you attend ?. More like 61 years ago !...
@@alancrisp1582 No from 1950 when she was becoming a star duh 🤦
No since 1954 when she was at the height of her career
Mm was murdered
🤫🤔 No ,suicide....
@@alancrisp1582. No, it really was not suicide! If Marilyn had ingested as many pills as was suggested, her stomach would not have tolerated it and she would have vomited. Also, there would have been a tell-tale residue in her upper digestive system. The famous coroner Thomas Naguchi worked on her case, but was a very junior assistant at the time; he was told to list her death as “probable suicide” by the head coroner at the time and was also instructed to destroy the tissue slides.
No murder and the Kennedys were responsible
@@daryljackson3430 This makes no sense. Why would the Kennedy family murder Marilyn ? JFK wasn't dumb enough to reveal her anything "secret" and even worse, he wasn't playing the mafia game, so he was killed because of that...
Ruled as apparent (accidental?) suicide.
Good job! Best documentary I’ve seen! Love to Marilyn Monroe! True goddess!!!❤❤❤
Really well made. Great archive images and shows honestly the way Maralyn and the times changed. Thankyou !
I have been to her vault. I love Marilyn . Rip. She had a really rough life so sad.
This is really good! you did great especially explaining the time periods when she was a child to a Star.
She'll always be a Beautiful Legend ❤
I just love old American and old Hollywood, I know it was so toxic like every era does but it’s just so classy, I love learning in depth about it
Everyone has a part of them,that isn’t out in full view of the world,especially celebrities and she was no different,she came from an unstable background and,wasn’t exactly dealt the best cards,concerning her start in life,she just wanted to be loved and so many people took advantage of her,being surrounded by people,who use you while enabling,certain aspects of her that were already unstable didn’t help things,as well the powerful people whom she knew far too much about ultimately played into her untimely demise
She always seemed lonely even in a crowd.
Never knew MM smoked! This was very good. Thank you!
she rarely smoked,not often
@@lisajan580she only smoked when she drank…so depends how much she drank!
I think she was murdered! I’m read so many books on the subject and her death is very suspicious 🥲
Marilyn Monroe... just queen of icons! She is an unrepeatable timeless alchemy
Women in the film industry have always been exploited until today.
It’s a bit ironic that she was named Marilyn because she reminded Ben Lyon of Marilyn Miller ,because when she married Arthur Miller she became Marilyn Miller.I think the rumour about her affair with JFK is true because no woman would spend 1400 Dollars on a dress ,fly 3000 miles across America ,take time off work and risk getting sacked for nothing ,but it was very disrespectful to prove it in front of JFK’s wife who was in the crowd.
her mother told her this is a sinful business norma jean
She wasn’t far from wrong.
And by the way? You were one hell of an actress? Beautiful angel.❤❤🎉
An excellent tribute.
Marilyn Monroe and Betty Boop were the most beautiful american icons. I love them.❤❤ Thanks for this video.
There is nothing wrong with the "dumb blonde" act as long as men and women allow the actor to transcend into new roles. They typecast the woman and then wouldn't let her manage her success of the image. I believe the production company's existance is at the root of her death. She was getting ready to take somebody's percent of the picture business. Remember, it was said that when her name was on the theater marquee the gross revenue went way up. Her death had little to do with Kennedy as the POTUS and politics, IMO. If anything, her success would have benefited the "party" financially. Her death benefited somebody in hollywood.

The same person's probably leaked her, Monroe's, nude photos hoping it would destroy her career. New York was her sanctuary, but they got her in California.
So, what was the dark side? Dysfunctional Hollywood or "professionals" who never helped her with the production company. This story is all wrong and off. You aren't telling the story. She was the Dolly Parton of her era, but "something" got in her way. The cold War between men and women. Nobody wanted to see a "good" actress. They wanted a repeat of fake sexuality. Poor Norma Jean Mortenson, she believe in a world of true artistic expression. "They" wouldn't allow her versatility, creativity which she came to understand as a child watching movies as a foster child in the theatres. Perhaps it was all a smoke screen. Odd irony how Kennedy's son was attracted to blond actors as well. However, as a twist of fate, Kennedy's son died and not the actor.
A creation of Hollyweird😢. She wasn't the first casualty & won't be the last one.
Wrong. Marilyn was Norma Jean's own creation and one which she should've done without.
@@mikec6822 You could be correct but to me in the words of Richard Pryor, the 'Wood "pimped" her. It was all "phantasy phactory," they were selling an image. Away from the bright lights, studios, & cameras she was miserable.
@@a.leemorrisjr.9255 That has no relationship to the comment I made.
Marilyn was a casualty of her childhood. She loved being an actress.
thanks alot❤
FYI it's Joseph Mankiewicz [dir writer producer "All About Eve"] not John Mankiewicz
She is the Goddess forever, regardless of the time.
Your art has a life beyond the silver screen; it resides in our hearts. As you celebrate your special day, here's a good thought for you.
Thanks!! 👍👍👍
She just wanted stability not so much financial stability as they made her out to supposedly be after she wanted to part of something stable and legit
Can we just go back to this day of the American dream. Pre-Sleepy, who's destroying America!
she was murdered.
I am a greate fan of Marilyn Monroe❤
May she rest in piece in the Afterlife goodby Marilyn❤
You end Dolores are in my Heart❤ ❤
I didn't think you could mine anything else out of this well-trodden tale, but- you did. Thank you.
Love from India 💙
A beautifully written documentary with a simply stellar narrator. This exposition of Marilyn's life and the age she lived in was a long time coming. A true gift of a very important chapter of American and world history. Marilyn has long secured her rightful place among the Pantheon of our worlds Goddesses; even challenging Aphrodite herself for the highest pedestal.
Man's love for woman and her need of it, is an eternally fascinating subject that forms a very defining characteristic of our human bond. We will not continue to exist as a species without it.
RIP Norma Jeane
You know a lot of the ones to blame are the producers because they really killed their individuality their grades as the original song but when the producer start making them out to be this personas I think that's what is wrong in the entertainment industry
You are so very good at this. I am a professional editor and please delete this when you read it but you mispronounced "archetype" twice. I know you'll want to correct that. ❤
I've looked into it guys. She had 12 overdoses in the last year guys? But someone always was around or came to her rescue? I thought it too murdered? Yes but now no. She was very depressed over life Kennedy 's she took too much on purpose or maybe accidental? But she overdosed now i feel in my ❤. Dr Greenson was scared he was going to be responsible so i think he panicked and tried everything to bring her back. Yes 4 hours. And he tried hard. She got what she finally wanted and that was to stop suffering. Ok guys listen she was screwed up it was hereditary was her fate. She tried hung on as long as she could. In love with the Kennedy brothers. They played her. Used her. And she was rejected. Thats it . Shes dead she will always be forever beautiful. God has her now. She is safe from this cruel cruel world. But Norma Jean. Only if you knew. How loved you are? Especially by this generation. Im 52. My mom always said she was murdered. Those damn Kennedy's used het vulnerability. They are pure scumbags for that. Now all 3 are gone. Beautiful Norma Jean we all love you so much. You are in the best hands with God and Jesus will always keep you protected from evil on this side and other side. Ser you one day love you
You have barely touched the surface and thank you for that 🙏🏻💜😂💟
Ppl aparently cant understand, she had no real mother and she made hwr own money she earned millions. Its wasnt vipolar it was scitophenic with depresion.
I thought that was a beauty of being an entertainment that you had your own individual style now everything's choreographed and it's like everybody follows the same routine

“Presidential models” were/are allegedly used by big time entertainers and politicians as playthings; mind controlled puppets programmed to perform assorted acts at the bidding of their manipulative “handlers”. Supposedly Marilyn Monroe was the first Monarch slave who achieved “celebrity” status. For those unfamiliar with the term “Presidential model”, I’ll refer them to The Control of Candy Jones by Donald Bain and Long John Nebel. As the story goes, Long John Nebel-a New York radio personality in the 50′s-70′s-discovered via hypnosis that his wife, Candy Jones, was a victim of just this sort of mind control project, one of the many MK-ULTRA mind slaves, programmed by CIA “spychiatrists” and used by high mucky muck dignitaries to perform their whims, among other assorted duties such as being used as drug mules and message couriers for this vast network of morally deficient power brokers.” - Adam Gorightly, “An Interpretation of Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut

I was about 11 or so going around a small town in S/W Mt. earning about $ .25 each for sweeping sidewalks, mowing lawns, or shoveling snow. We had a blacksmith in town called "Smitty" He would let Me come into His shop to get out of the cold or heat for a short while. He had a calendar that had a full-page color photo of Marylin on it that was left hanging high on a wall. I was always glad when He would be wearing His dark goggles while welding and I could stare at the calendar 🤠 Yup❕ G~G. 🗳☑🇺🇸.
Shes not a myth shes life
Well at least one of her dreams came true? Being an actress and model for the whole world to see? Guess what? The whole world sees till this day? Snd it will go on and on until the world ends. You did it girl be proud! And you were wrong? You were loved? Just by the wrong people? Joe DiMaggio he loved you and you loved him. You just wanted JFK because he refused you so that made you want him more? Thats how it works with everyone? He wouldn't of been no good for you? Too much of a cheating playboy. You were way to good baby girl. Only if you knew? Love you girl rest n peace❤❤❤😢🎉🎉❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Make-up can make a girl late. Bleached haired conditioning and styling is, and custom takes time.😊
MM is a Icon of my Dad's Generation. I was far to young to know what was going on with her death and JFK's Death. I can only look at it in hind-site. All of the conspiracy theories just don't make sense. There is no substance to them. They fall apart when measured against known facts. On the other hand; it is reported that all documentation was removed after the official statements were made. You cannot go back and actually look at the evidence. From what I can conjecture: MM took a dose of prescription sleep aids not knowing the Dr was going to give her sleep aids. The Dr gave her sleep aids not knowing she had taken sleep aids. There was a lack of communication resulting in an nothing more than accidental overdose resulting in her death. It was nothing more than a very tragic mistake which the Dr must take responsibility for. The coverup was an effort to save the Dr's reputation. There doesn't need to be any more to the incident.
These comments are wrong, do ppl listen or just dumb.
This is great! Now I know that smiling is not worthless, it's a clever thing. Ohh damn, death is terrible. What a drama. rip in the universe! 😫😘
I don’t believe she committed suicide.
LEE STRASBERG IS THE GENTLEMAN THAT PORTRAYED HYMAN ROTH...GFII AND A YOUNG ARNOLD ROTHSTEIN AS WELL DURING THE FLASHBACKS. GREAT JOB TO EVERYONE👍. 😇🎤.
she shows to much pain in here eyes , she committed suicide think she was kill off like a lot off people think like i do
U have discernment lol
im 80% sure this is using ai for the voiceover
We've come a long way in understanding mental illness and how to deal with it constructively. i believe part of the problem with Marilyn involves the social expectations of the time. If Marilyn had met a man who ;et her be who she was, an intelligent actress, she may have become like Kate Hepburn or Lauren Bacall. Also, the advances in knowledge about how to deal with mental illness, were they around in Marilyn's time, might have led to a different outcome.
Archtype is properly pronounced "arc-type" - don't pronounce the h as a ch.
Se non si suicidava,non sarebbe stata un mito.Gia nei ultimi 2 anni,non era cosi ricercata fai produttori o registi,e i suoi film non avevano tanto successo.
Si , piaceva perche era la pii sexy,ma era un "fabricato" non era naturale.In realta era diversa.
Era ormai un prodotto,che prima di suicidarsi,non valorava cosi tanto .Erano arrivate altre attrici ,piu giovane,piu naturale,pou teale,non cosi tanto trasformate.
RIP Marilyn 🙏🙏
I've always been Intrigued by her.
But I just got into her in a big way she was good
At her Her art, in fact, far more than good extremely, talented and wonderfully good looking.
With yes magic. 👌
It seems to me that she was wiped out by severe mental illness and sadly , some of the company she kept.
yes its me Sugar ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
U"n Unfogeteble. Icoon. ❤❤❤❤
I. think Marylyn. is MURDERD.
Мэрилин, это сияющее солнышко!
She had bad life I like her movies
The verdict was only because of the film industry3for insursurence on her death
She was the artichoke Queen Eugene oh gosh I can't pronounce her name right now my speech synthesis is
No originality of true acting nothing news all the acting like another and they don't really give anybody a chance for a new discovery they have to play a role of a legend or a actor from the past which is fine but nobody could ever replace those great actors that have to leave room for new ones that doesn't mean that being replaced that's what's going to keep them in the place audience that love and remembers them
❤
Hi art of index to much very nice good me very nice friend
This documentary keeps mentioning the American Dream which is odd because she never achieved it. It implies that the NY grate scene caused her marriage to Joe Di Maggio to fail which is illogical.
Since Di Maggio publicly complained about it, I have to disagree. He thought it was vulgar and disliked people seeing his wife so exposed.
He was an abusive Ahole. Typical "macho" man, when in fact his insecurity and posessiveness would have been huge red flags and a gigantic turn off.
She achieved the Dream, but it was a worthless tissue of lies. As for DiMaggio, his tantrum that night - evidently he knocked her around, too - proved to be the final straw for Marilyn, who no longer could tolerate his controlling behavior. Nothing "illogical" about it at all.
It seemed like many women in the film industry were treated like objects by actors ,directors and producers. She was a talented and intelligent woman.Marilyn Monroe was a creation of Norma Jean and the American dream cost her her life.
She achieved the dream because she went from rags to riches. She became one of the most iconic movie stars in the entire world after being an orphan. And she did it all on her own. No nepotism. No actor connections. She made it happen with the strength of her own charisma and work. So, you're wrong there. And second, it is not illogical for her husband to be upset that the entire country is ogling his wife while she shows off her panties as her dress blows up. Back then people had morals and were more conservative. It's not a nice feeling to know that every man in the world is fantasizing about your wife as she willingly shows off her body. So, you're wrong again, it's very logical. Of course, there was probably more going on, but he said himself that it bothered him.
Nice marilyn
Потребительский рынок - самый большой грех
She was kiled
Hoax death. She just retired.
am I the only viewer surprised that her eyes are shades of Blue in her early career, then shades of brown when she is more mature?
How easily men get manipulated by woman’s body.singing about diamonds to soldiers kinda pointless
it called entertainmant and was iconic show
If God was in her life, drugs and alcohol addictions would never have happened.
Tragically it really should've at least started with her parents! But her mother gave her up when she was only 2 - TWO!
WEEKS OLD and named the wrong man as her father.....
It's devastating to even think about what she endured... 12 foster homes, sexually abused repeatedly... 😢
Lmao. There’s a lot of people who believe in god that are just as much addicted to drugs and alcohol. 🙄
Yeah, leave your God out of it!
@@CKing-388facts
Not necessarily true. I was born Christian and believe in God and my life is still a mess and full of severe challenges everyday. Experiencing trauma since childhood is not a choice. Depression is not a choice and can't always be fixed by simply believing in something or someone. Life just isn't that simple.
Lies! Js
She was planing to leave the u.s. and move to mexico and marry banuelos a mexican business man and write a book on the toxity of u.s. goverment and the movie industry..but she didnt make it..by the way marlene monroe ancestral is mexican and she kept it secret in hollywood due to
pressures and demands put on her by hollywood to maintain an all "American" girl image, she kept them to herself to sustain her career..
At the height of her fabulous movie career, marylin formed her own production company and she no longer felt constrained by hollywood
to hide her latina pride
What a frightening diabolical invention: 🇺🇲🦖☄️
Your theory is only 10 years off. MM didnt become famous in the Sixties. Philosophical dissection gone completely illegocal.
The documentary says very clearly that Marilyn became famous during the Fifties, together with the American dream and way of life.
We all know her dark side the Bad News keeping on talking about that about her forever...We know all about her poor sad sex drugs alcohol life accordingly to you people...
She was a junkie sadly at the end and a alcoholic too soooo
I adored Marilyn Monroe but she was no good girl she had affairs with married men that's wrong!
