I'm not a fan of documentaries, but a friend suggested I should give it a look. I thought it was so interesting and gives a very good perspective of the life of Monroe. Great information on interviews by Anthony Summers.
Anthony Summers, the author of the book
Goddess (1985),
[5][6] explains he began researching Marilyn Monroe after he learned that the
Los Angeles County District Attorney was reopening the case of her death. Summers subsequently spent three years collecting 650 tape-recorded interviews with people who either knew Monroe in her lifetime or had knowledge concerning her death. The audio of the interviews is original, but actors perform lip-synced reenactments.
As Monroe began acting, she had affairs with multiple powerful men who helped advance her career. Fellow actor
Jane Russell notes Monroe had a particularly strong work ethic. However, Monroe suffered from poor mental health stemming from a troubled childhood.
