Norma Jean and Marilyn
Another biographical film about the actress was released in 1996. Norma Jean and Marilyn are based on the book Norma Jean: My Secret Life With Marilyn Monroe written by actor Eddie Jordan, who claimed to have had a relationship with the actress. The film tells how the hapless Norma Jean comes to become the superstar known as Marilyn. Ashley Judd plays Norma Jean and Mira Sorvino plays her alter ego.
My week with Marilyn
A 2011 film starring Michelle Williams. The plot of the film is based on the books by Colin Clark, who was an assistant on the set of The Prince and the Showgirl, an English film in which Marilyn worked. While the actress's husband was away, Clark was tasked with teaching Marilyn the British way of life. They spent a week together, and that is the experience that is captured in this film.
Love Marilyn
This documentary explores the life and thoughts of Marilyn Monroe through readings of various personal documents of hers. Love Marilyn shows both the best moments of Marilyn when she fulfills her dream of being an actress and the worst. The last part of the film, which shows the emotional problems of the star and all the s*xist pressure that she had to endure in Hollywood, is very tragic.
Goodnight, Sweet Marilyn
A tape that explores the death of Marilyn Monroe, told through flashbacks by a supposed friend of hers. The film hints that the actress did not die of an overdose, but that she did not want to continue living and she commissioned someone to end her suffering. All this tragedy is interspersed with sequences from her youth, such as the famous occasion in which she sang happy birthday to the president.
