Synopsis: This is an amazing portrait of the life of Marilyn Monroe: one of the 20th century's most famous movie stars, sex symbols, and pop icons. Born Norma Jeane Mortenson, Marilyn Monroe was raised by her mother, Gladys Pearl Monroe. The film chronicles her life as a model and a difficult actress to work with. The film also follows her marriages to James Dougherty, Joe DiMaggio, and Arthur Miller. It also looks at the conspiracy surrounding her apparent suicide, and her affairs with Robert and John Kennedy.

"Marilyn" is being hailed as the best biopic of the year! Naomi Watts is sensational! She is the only actress that could have pulled off this role. Surely, "Marilyn" will have no problem receiving much attention this awards season.
