Marilyn Monroe Part 1

We are very excited to bring you this one! An actress who became a historic cultural icon whose influence rivals society’s most prominent figures. Marilyn Monroe was not always Marilyn Monroe. She was born Norma Jean Desmond, and that is who we’re going to tell you about in part 1 of her saga. Before we can really dive into Marilyn’s life, we felt it important to tell you about her mother Gladys, so in this episode, we do just that, the glitz and glamour of Marilyn all began in a cramped LA apartment with her very troubled mother Gladys. Enjoy!!
