Next Episode of Reframed: Marilyn Monroe is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
Reframed: Marilyn Monroe is a four-part CNN Original Series that revisits the extraordinary story of a girl who sprang from nowhere to become the most famous woman in the world. Narrated by Golden Globe-winning actress Jessica Chastain and featuring a star-studded cast of female voices, the series re-examines Monroe's story to uncover themes of feminism, sexuality, and power that continue to drive the cultural conversation today. It reveals a complex, fascinating woman who took on powerbrokers in Hollywood and courageously challenged the misogyny of 1950s America, all while beating the odds to succeed in a man's world. Marilyn's story isn't just the story of one woman—in many ways, it is the story of every woman.
A young Norma Jeane, while showing talent and audacity, turns her back on her difficult childhood and puts herself on the radar in Hollywood as "Marilyn Monroe."
Marilyn's rise is nearly ruined when it's revealed she posed nude for a calendar. Her defiance about posing catapults her to stardom.
Determined to become a serious actress, Marilyn departs from Twentieth Century Fox to launch her own production company. She creates a new identity in New York as Fox refuses to release her contract.
Marilyn shows her mature talent as an actress in "Some Like it Hot," hangs out with the Rat Pack, sings "Happy Birthday" to JFK, and wins a triumphant victory over Twentieth Century Fox shortly before her untimely death.
