Synopsis
"Marilyn Monroe Declassified" balances the image of the blonde bombshell icon we thought we knew with information about her revealed in newly declassified FBI and CIA files. Here is the proof that her troubles were not all the product of her upbringing in an orphanage, abuse of prescription drugs and failed marriages. Beginning with her wedding to Communist-leaning playwright Arthur Miller (for whom she converted to Judaism), she was tailed, targeted and tormented by the FBI, CIA and Mafia and ultimately, through affairs with powerful men, she was unwittingly caught in the middle of a vendetta of lethal forces. Dead at age 36, just months after singing "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" at JFK's extravagant party, she was officially listed as a "probable suicide." The film makes a powerful case for the fact that that the official conclusion was wrong. This Blu-ray features an interview with Greg Schreiner and Pierre Vudrag, Paul Davids on "Bigger Questions" along with English subtitles for the deaf and hearing-impaired.
