What I learned about Marilyn
Added 10/13/2009
I heard about this movie from a friend a couple years ago and thought I would buy it since it was a little more than renting it. I learned a lot Marilyn/Norma Jean from this movie. Not sure the accuracy, but was still very interesting to watch.

Norma Jean and Marilyn DVD Review
Added 7/26/2008
An entertaining HBO film about the life of Marilyn Monroe. Lindsay Crouse has a good role as Marilyn's coach and is fine as usual. Good picture and sound.

I wasn't over the moon on this DVD and had expected more from Ashly Judd.
However, it gave a different point of view of Ms. Monroe.

Entertaining to a point, but totally inaccurate.
Added 6/29/2008
The HBO movie is entertaining to a point. I just couldn't get through the inaccuracies. I found this movie referenced under documentary of Marilyn Monroe's life, but it is not a documentary of her life. This is just a movie with some good acting, and a lot of false references.
For instance, the movie does not show Marilyn when she was happy at all (understanding she had a rough childhood).
The way they showed her life ending was not at all how it happened. For example, how she was found dead and who saw her the last day of her life.
It does not show her true relationship with Joe DiMaggio, or how before her death they were friendly again.
It portrays her as a slut willing to do anything to get to the top which is wrong. If you read any book about Marilyn, writen by anyone who was close to her in her adult life, will describe her as a completely different person than she was played as in this so called documentary.

A great story of what could have been going through Marilyn Monroes' mind. Great acting by Ashley and Mira.
