Or maybe we should say Norma Jeane. Because that’s kind of the problem, isn’t it? Everyone knows Marilyn Monroe. The white dress. The platinum hair. The beauty mark. The breathy voice. The sex symbol. The tragedy. But very few people know the little girl who came before her. that’s what this episode is about. Not just how Marilyn Monroe died. Or how Marilyn Monroe lived. But how Norma Jeane Baker disappeared.
