Handlung
Hin- und hergeschoben zwischen Pflegefamilien, wächst Norma Jeane Baker in dürftigen Verhältnissen auf. Trotz ihrer bewegten Jugend schafft es die wunderschöne Frau in Hollywood Fuß zu fassen und entwickelt sich zu einer Hollywood-Ikone, die Männer um den Verstand bringt. Allerdings sorgen die toxischen Beziehungen und die ständige Suche nach einem Mann, der die Lücke ihres nie dagewesenen Vaters füllen kann, für einen komplizierten Verlauf ihrer Karriere. Während sie vor der Kamera das strahlende Hollywood-Girl gibt, sieht es hinter der Fassade deutlich düsterer und trauriger aus. Schauspielerin, Sexbombe, Mensch: Marylin Monroe muss viele Rollen verkörpern, die jedoch ihr eigenes Ich in den Hintergrund rücken.
