Lecture
Hooray for Hollywood Marilyn Monroe
Part Two
Rick Harris, lecturer
Marilyn Monroe: The camera loved her. Fans loved her. But offscreen, she was an unhappy soul. She died at 36, leaving an indelible screen legacy. Starring in 29 films, watch film clips of her as she transitions from a bit player in 1959’s Best Picture, All About Eve, to a bona fide movie star and sex symbol in her 1959 Golden Globe-winning performance in Some Like It Hot.
This presentation is part of Rick Harris' Hooray for Hollywood series.
