Documentary on Marilyn’s life told by herself from the taped interviews she gave to Life magazine and French Marie Claire less than a month before she died, accompanied by rare and previously unseen footage.
Editing
Juxtaposing her voice against studio-manufactured image is devastating.
Production
Rare footage that shouldn't exist but does. Archive gold.
Director
Paul Kerr

These Life magazine interviews were conducted by Richard Meryman, who later said Monroe seemed 'drugged and desperate'—the tape reveals something more complicated.
