Join us this week as we delve into the life, relationships, and mysterious death of one of Hollywood's most iconic and celebrated actresses, Marilyn Monroe. Born Norma Jeane Mortenson in 1926, she faced a tumultuous childhood in and out of foster homes and orphanages. Her charisma, beauty, and comedic talent soon set her on a path to stardom. Married (and divorced) three times, she quickly became one of the biggest stars in the world as she transformed into the glamorous, sensual, and alluring icon we know today.

Perhaps the fame and notoriety became too much, or perhaps the alleged affairs she had with high profile and powerful men led to her demise, either way her untimely and tragic death shocked and saddened an entire nation. 

As we start to unravel the final days and hours of her life, much suspicion remains even to this day. Was she murdered? If so, by whom and for what purpose? Tune in this week to get the full story and perhaps put the mystery to rest once and for all.
