learning that she preferred the identity she forged for herself in adulthood as opposed to her birth name that she associated with a traumatic youth really connects. I wish this was a more common accepted practice in mainstream culture. I'm Native American and a lot of our cultures have this element as a default, where you get a different name in adulthood to allow you to define yourself in this new identity and phase of life once you have full autonomy. we wouldn't even use the same name for trading with the outside world as we would inside our tribes in some cases, because names are powerful.

Jessica, I've been a fan of Marilyn for nearly 35 years. Ever since I learned she and I share a birthday. I've read the books, watched the docs, (AND the fiction). I'm really amazed at how much I'm learning! It's wonderful to see someone who has gone beyond "doing the homework". Your passion really shines through. You are incredibly well spoken and this presentation is wonderfully thought out. I honestly can't wait to see more.

The secret lover has to be Fred Karger. MM loved the hell out of that dude! They met during Ladies of the Chorus in 1948 when she was 21, he was 32. He would play the piano for her. She later said that when he put on his glasses "I was overwhelmed." Guys looking like nerds in glasses really threw her for a loop. She was completely mad for him.

The challenge there is that the film is specifically an adaptation of a Joyce Carol Oates novel, so the filmmakers could argue that they were "merely" adapting Oates' take on the material, and that the objection should be to Oates' book and not to the film. The other challenge (not that this should matter, but in our culture it definitely does) is that this novel is VERY well-regarded; it was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize the year it was released, and just last week was named one of the "Great American Novels" by The Atlantic Magazine. Oates, for her part, has clearly stated that the book is meant as a work of fiction, and should not be construed as a work of biography.

In the instance from Marilyn in "My Story" about her childhood - the man in the story was NOT a pastor. She mentions that he attended a revival meeting after the incident and acted self-righteous and as if he was not in need of repentance like the other revival-goers. It's important to read carefully especially when quoting Marilyn because otherwise more embellishments and errors are added to the rumor mill.

Great podcast, ive studied Marilyn now since 1980, ive spoken to 2 friends from her inner circle. About her death, it was a accidental overdose, but NOT done by herself. There are 3 neighbors witnesses who saw Robert Kennedy at her house on Augustus 4th , also according to her maid Eunice Murray, who said on tape that Robert and Marilyn had a big argument, also according to Norman Jeffries who was Eunice brother in law, had said that Marilyn became hysterical angry, and that Eunice had to calm her down by a enema, that was around 7pm , she had a view phone calls , all them said that Marilyn was in a good mood. After 9pm ( last call from Joe jr ) something’s went wrong, they called the Santa Monica hospital to pick her up ( also 2 witnesses saw a ambulance at Marilyn’s house) according to Walter Scheaffer ( Head of SM Hospital) he said on film that they picked her up and she passed away in the hospital, they brought her back to her house , to look like a suicide, bc Fox could get the insurance. That’s a pure fact,

So many deaths were lazily reported.

Hello, I’ve been a very long time fan (talking Jessica rabbit and Betty boop makeup transformations) and I wanted to say how grateful I am for being able to see you grow as a content creator and historian/artist. I wanted to ask/suggest why not adapting your script to a book? That way your fans (like myself) can buy and support part of the story, and maybe with that funding your production company can have enough to make a pilot episode. This pilot could be picked up by a bigger producing company and could work hand in hand with your production company. Since you would have the rights to the book no one else could take your information away + you can always leave out certain things to make the book and docu-series different. Just a suggestion because I’m extremely curious on your work and would love to see Marilyn depicted with honesty and truth 💗

I don't think Monroe was still a saint, she had her own flaws. She willingly went into that relationship with Yves Montand, which is still disrespectful to his actual wife, regardless how "sweet" he was and the promises he makes. If you willingly date a taken man, you're not innocent, but if you willing to look for someone to date while being married, you're worse and Montand is worse just by principle in my eyes and enabling the affair. I do wonder if she was actually a drug addict, she seemed to be largely unwell in general (she had endometriosis and she might also be heavily affected by her own life's stresses). I read she took barbiturate to help her sleep and stimulants to give her energy, considering that stimulants (we don't know which stimulants she took) also have an effect of increasing happy mood and self-confidence, she probably also took those things so she can maintain her "Marilyn Monroe" image because maintaining a happy, talkative, seductive false image for so long is hard itself and will take a toll. I theorise it's more like a practical habit borne out of a need to maintain a career. We don't know how often she took those drugs or the specific reasons, but I'm just guessing. She seems like a very smart and pragmatic woman and I think back during her time, there were harder drugs she could've taken if she's truly after the euphoria that drugs give.
