She was difficult, troubled and had her demons but camera loved her like no other. The mystery of her death just made her myth bigger. Great documentary, btw:)
Always loved Norma Jean. Such sad, tragic life....but she will remain timeless, a legend, an icon, still mentioned and remembered in 500 years from now, which is something not many have achieved.
I think what people still need to remember, is that even though people like Marilyn Monroe are/was famous, they are still human beings with needs. Despite the fact that in this type of business you have to keep up an image, they can only do so much. You can't push these people beyond what they are physically, emotionally and mentally capable of. I totally agree with what you are saying. It's like, what it more important? Getting a movie done and making huge bucks, or someone's health?
Interesting. If Marilyn's behavior was so erratic that they had to have her psychiatrist on set to "control her" why was she even working? And why did her psychiatrist have so much pull that he was able to get the director replaced?
I've watched Something's Got To Give, although it was really short but I wished it was completed, Marilyn was great in it and the movie is really interesting
They probably treated Marilyn Monroe the same way they treated Shirley Temple; they got their pound of flesh out of her with the preceding 29 films they probably didn’t pay her for, now they were pissed because she needed to breathe. So they dumped her. They know as well as I do that people loved her and if they had had the humanity with her they should have had, they would have made many more millions off her with that film. Maybe hundreds of millions. They signed their own death warrant when they dumped her. And hers; they are directly responsible for what happens to her. We love you, Marilyn. We’re sorry they did that to you. What goes around will come around.
She was very beautiful but so troubled. She was childlike because she never got the chance to be a child. Her childhood was terrible. I think she looked for a father figure in a lot of men she had relationships with. And she truly loved JFK. Her and Jackie both deserved better.
Speaking about Arnold Schulman, original script writer for "Something's Got To Give" producer David Brown says "He was a great writer, but I was somewhat alarmed when I passed his office & saw he had removed his desk & was writing in a Yoga position. BEAR IN MIND THAT THE MYTH OF HOLLYWOOD IS FAR LESS THAN THE REALITY" OMG that's the funniest & truest line about tinsel-town I've ever heard!! He says that with so much dead-pan sincerity I think everyone misses the complete irony of that statement
does anyone know, where are her tapes he has made for Dr Greenson? i've read an excerpt from the transscript, and would like to read more of it but what i've read shows her as an exceptional intelligent person!
That's because thinking and feeling people refuse to put her in the box that the Hollywood and New York "users" put her in. If anyone bothers to really find out about her life they cannot come away with anything but empathy and admiration for how hard she tried to overcome her horrendous childhood and how she looked for love everywhere but never really found it. So in death, she has the love and admiration she craved so much in life. And no one can ever take it away.
I wonder, has Fox released or plan to release "Something's Gotta Give" just put together, and edited to make it a short film of what scenes were filmed? I think ppl would understand and buy that it's not finished because of what happened. I know I would buy it.
She was such an amazing woman. Beautiful, talented, and funny. But she was also very smart. Hollywood made her up to be some dumb blonde bombshell, but in real life, she was totally different from what we saw in the movies. Movie star or not, she was still a human being, and I don't think a lot of people realized that (except for the ones who knew her on a personal level). I honestly don't think a lot of peeople appreciated her for who she truly was, until they lost her.
I find it strange how a murder hasn't been ruled out as a cause. Also how 1 of the doctors could not be located. She had a rare, unique & beautiful look about her even if the pictures aren't in colour & a astonishing body. Everything seemed to be on the downfall for her too which she managed to turn around. But her work commitments were brutal so it dosen't surprise me that something like this would happen. I hope with the more recent deaths of Ledger & Jackson that it won't happen again.
The most desirable women had to go through so much pain and torment. Absolutely awful. I'm not religious, but I do hope Norma is looking down from heaven and she can see how many people still love her.
It is true, It wasn't until they opened Marilyn up in autopsy that they saw the deplorable state of her lungs. The sob's at Fox never forgave her for standing up for herself.
indeed....cuckor was a doll tho, a real gentle man, great with female leads, even the toughest women to deal with. He got the best out of marilyn monroe and judy garland, two of the greatest and notoriously complicated and difficult actresses to work with. cuckor was a nice guy according to many.
Marilyn was so was there biggest hit but they chose to pay elizabeth taylor more money and instead of firing her because of the costly production of celoptra they chose to fire the one actress that could save the studio.
I was born 80 days after MARILYN's 30th birthday. The site of my birth is filled with Murphy Memorial Hospital abbreviated identification. Murph. Memor.
@brittanynicolefield1 People say bad things about MM because they only view her as "just a woman", and see it as their right the criticize and condemn. To be honest.. I'm over that kind of Judgmental behavior myself. The woman has been dead for years and deserves to be left alone.
Marilyn Monroe is my favorite sex-symbol woman ever. She's the most beauty girl ever :D, she wanted to be an actress, she may not was really great actress, but yes she's the sexiest girl ever, and a big star actress. RIP.
Marilyn Manroe was beautiful and all heads would turn and she died and I think someone killed her and she was erratic and stand offish at times and she wasn't easy to work with I am sure and Hollywood was a cut throat business and you either make it or you don't and many young actresses tried their best and Hollywood is too corrupted now and so many actors try to get their big break and its impossible Marilyn Manroe died and it was a cover up and I think she was going to expose the Kennedy's for what they were and JFK died in 1963 and Bobby Kennedy died too. 3 people dead? I find that odd that JFK died after Marilyn Manroe died and it was an abuse of power and someone wanted them dead. Even Bobby Kennedy when he was going to run for President! Nobody can be Marilyn Manroe nobody there is only one Marilyn Manroe and she was was the first Playboy Centerfold and in Hollwyood there is a you tube channel called Doomed To Die Hollywood's curses and Marilyn Manroe was the first ever Playboy Centerfold Curse so was Anna Nicole Smith who tired to be like Marilyn Manroe. I find it hard to believe that no one knows the cause of death of Marilyn Manroe so many other actors and rock stars died too under drugs and booze and shooting themselves like The Superman Curse! It is worth being a movie star in Hollywood???? I won't want it. Not in a million years I would rather be a loser and a nobody. Nobody would love me.
There is so many "wanna be" but no one compares to Marilyn
Alice Depaul “wanna be”s
She was difficult, troubled and had her demons but camera loved her like no other. The mystery of her death just made her myth bigger.
Great documentary, btw:)
Always loved Norma Jean. Such sad, tragic life....but she will remain timeless, a legend, an icon, still mentioned and remembered in 500 years from now, which is something not many have achieved.
Marilyn will always be alive in the hearts of millions.
She will be even more loved as the years go by.
George Vreeland Hill
Love these documentaries about her. We get to learn so much more about the life of this legend. 😍💙

"And I would have liked to have known you,
But I was just a kid
You candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did."
Too many parallels with Judy Garland, the way hollywood treated them..and other bright stars, especially the child ones.
thank god times have changed mm thought she was old at 36
Interesting. If Marilyn's behavior was so erratic that they had to have her psychiatrist on set to "control her" why was she even working? And why did her psychiatrist have so much pull that he was able to get the director replaced?
Why she was even working? Because she was their cash cow, I guess.... 😢
Because there is only one Marilyn Monroe
He was her HANDLER
I've watched Something's Got To Give, although it was really short but I wished it was completed, Marilyn was great in it and the movie is really interesting
Marilyn looks like a living mannequin. She's so beautiful...
Hardly a great actress by no means - she didn't HAVE to act. Her presence on screen was enough.
Thx for the upload :)
They probably treated Marilyn Monroe the same way they treated Shirley Temple; they got their pound of flesh out of her with the preceding 29 films they probably didn’t pay her for, now they were pissed because she needed to breathe.

We’re sorry they did that to you. What goes around will come around.
If saw MM, I would embrace her so strong and say "I love you".
I think Marilyn is and still is the biggest loss not only in the movies but to the world. She is so delightfully amazing!
Gosh i love her :)
The narrator is legendary Oscar winning actor James Coburn. He always played a bad ass, and looked like it too.
beautiful
WHERE ARE THE TAPES??? WHERE ARE THE TAPES??? .... oh & by the way... WHERE ARE THE TAPES??? anyone??? ANYONE???
Goodbye Norma Jean!!!, May You Rest In Peace!!!
What the hell is with some of these comments. You guys are talking about her like she's NOT dead. She is gone you know.
this makes me cry. i hate what fame does to people. marylin was too young.
She was very beautiful but so troubled. She was childlike because she never got the chance to be a child. Her childhood was terrible. I think she looked for a father figure in a lot of men she had relationships with. And she truly loved JFK. Her and Jackie both deserved better.
I wish I was alive when she was
Yeah I did that after I wrote that. I like her voice the way she talked in real life.
It is such a shame about her early ending- also this seems like it would be such an amazing completed film!
What a shame that Marilyn Monroe died so young.
She had it all.
Marilyn will always be loved.

@TheyDontSee thank you very much :)
When was this documentary made?
She was born in 1926 and would be 87 this year. I don't think she would still live now. Those who shine bright use to burn out fast.
That's true unfortunately
She was one of a kind. Sure, there have been many impersonators, but no one can come even close to the real thing.
She did not commit suicide. There was nothing in her stomach at all and no residue of pills from the capsules.
She was truely a great actress.
does anyone know, where are her tapes he has made for Dr Greenson?
i've read an excerpt from the transscript, and would like to read more of it
but what i've read shows her as an exceptional intelligent person!
@bsbncandey , If you type in Something's got to give part 1 there is an edited 4 part short film of the movie from start to finish.
That's because thinking and feeling people refuse to put her in the box that the Hollywood and New York "users" put her in. If anyone bothers to really find out about her life they cannot come away with anything but empathy and admiration for how hard she tried to overcome her horrendous childhood and how she looked for love everywhere but never really found it. So in death, she has the love and admiration she craved so much in life. And no one can ever take it away.
can someone tell me the song at the very beginning?
@StarQualityWins She was often imitated but never duplicated.
what year is this from?
I wonder, has Fox released or plan to release "Something's Gotta Give" just put together, and edited to make it a short film of what scenes were filmed? I think ppl would understand and buy that it's not finished because of what happened. I know I would buy it.

@79tazman me too! i would have loved to have met her! :')
What is the name of the movie where she has long hair and it has a circus tent in the back ground?
I find it strange how a murder hasn't been ruled out as a cause. Also how 1 of the doctors could not be located. She had a rare, unique & beautiful look about her even if the pictures aren't in colour & a astonishing body. Everything seemed to be on the downfall for her too which she managed to turn around.

She was killed
Vicki Mingus - And you know this how?
Whom murder her. Drug Industry. They been murdering millions slowly for years.
Stem cells and Hemp will be taken over in near future.
The most desirable women had to go through so much pain and torment. Absolutely awful.
I'm not religious, but I do hope Norma is looking down from heaven and she can see how many people still love her.
It is true, It wasn't until they opened Marilyn up in autopsy that they saw the deplorable state of her lungs. The sob's at Fox never forgave her for standing up for herself.
@dawggyd9779; I once read why Marilyn crossed out the picture was to show her life being "crucified" at times. What the writer stated.
Can someone tell me who's the lady in black around 2:40 please? I've seen her before, need to know where and why am i so curious about her. Thank you.
I think its Jane Russel
she was a beautiful woman, RIP
sad story!!! mk ultra!!!!
Can you explain the connection with MK Ultra?
what was the other ones name you know the original blonde bomb shell jean something?
Bravo! -I totally agree w you %100!
@DudeSinger yes but unsuccessfully:)
read the book from Michel Schneider
so sad
in a way i'm glad fox was not able to complete the their film -they deserved it after the way they had treated monroe
indeed....cuckor was a doll tho, a real gentle man, great with female leads, even the toughest women to deal with. He got the best out of marilyn monroe and judy garland, two of the greatest and notoriously complicated and difficult actresses to work with. cuckor was a nice guy according to many.
i think it was love,if atleast one person a man to be exact or love and respect from the public
@JanaSklibova i think maybe they just tried to glam her up even more,make her into a sex symbol.but yea i agree she was so beautiful even w.o makeup
Marilyn Monroe was a lonely woman. She was beautiful, but there was a void in her that she couldn't fill. Sad how deceiving looks are!
Marilyn was so was there biggest hit but they chose to pay elizabeth taylor more money and instead of firing her because of the costly production of celoptra they chose to fire the one actress that could save the studio.
would she still be alive to this day?
The year I was born...
Yeah, it was sad how such a successful and beautiful person like her sank into drugs and alcohol. But would you really want to see her getting old?
It sucks she had to change so much about herself to actually get recognized. Was it really her acting that got her acknowledge or her appearance?
wow that guys voice is sooo low
ММ 👼👼

Marilyn's death was not suicide
Marilyn didn’t want to make Something’s Got to Give... and something did. The result? Murder, a silencing method.
Harlow...sorry.
no she didn't, just check out all of the out-take footage of her.
I notice her eyes seem to point out in two different directions. Wonder if it's the sleeping pills side effects.
I hate that every actress with a drug problem that sleeps around wants to pretend they're marilyn monroe. they just don't get it.
@brittanynicolefield1 LOL. u r funny
I think Marilyn Monroe is awesome but I wonder if she really talked with that high voice in life.
sdavenport1981 Her natural voice wasn’t high at all. That was just for some films. And not all of them.
Hwrlow.
@brittanynicolefield1 not sacarstic. just funny.
IT WAS A HUGE COVER UP! MM DID NOT KILL HERSELF...IMO. SUCH VERYYY SAD STORY. BUT SHE IS STILL MY IDOL TODAY❤
Now James Coburn is dead...weird.
Marilyn Monroe is my favorite sex-symbol woman ever. She's the most beauty girl ever :D, she wanted to be an actress, she may not was really great actress, but yes she's the sexiest girl ever, and a big star actress. RIP.
Mr. Director had a good time filming the pool scene with Marilyn.
@lebiew r u being sarcastic?
did she really have an affair with RFK?
Priscilla Barquet Yes.
@glhmtv Jane Russell ...her costar!
Ditto!!! Murdered
Marilyn Manroe was beautiful and all heads would turn and she died and I think someone killed her and she was erratic and stand offish at times and she wasn't easy to work with I am sure and Hollywood was a cut throat business and you either make it or you don't and many young actresses tried their best and Hollywood is too corrupted now and so many actors try to get their big break and its impossible Marilyn Manroe died and it was a cover up and I think she
