Hers is a rags-to-riches story that began when the girl born Norma Jean changed her name, dyed her hair, and 'leaned into the voluptuous blonde'. But Marilyn's path to superstardom was paved not with gold but with exploitation and betrayal. This two-part series explores how the Mobster-led criminal underworld collided with Hollywood and the political elite, with expert analysis of what Marilyn gained and lost from these powerful forces. From the very beginning of her career she was immersed in that world and while we might be aware of the misogyny of the 'casting couch', the picture painted here of the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s, is one of a studio system also riven with the violence and extortion of ruthless Mob bosses. By 1962 Marilyn was mixing with Frank Sinatra and Mafia figures, as well as president John F. Kennedy, and in August of that year she was dead. Her death is ruled a suicide, but speculation continues to this day. This series can't draw definitive conclusions but does a decent job of analysing the facts and the rumours that swirl around Marilyn's life and demise, as well as reminding us of what a vibrant and impactful star she was.
