In the process of filming a new drama series about the last months of Marilyn Monroe's life. This television project is the first to be approved by the heirs of the deceased star. The producers of the series promise to tell a true story about how the actress lived and what could lead to such an unexpected tragic death. The series will be based on Keith Badman's book The Last Years of Marilyn Monroe. What secrets of the last days of the cult Hollywood diva are the filmmakers going to reveal?

This challenging job was handled by 101 film studios, a producer from Yellowstone and Seven Seas Films. The script for the film was written by Dan Sefton. Katie Jones, vice president of Authentic Brands Group, said this: "Now is the perfect time to tell this sad story, because the problems that Marilyn had to face are still relevant in the life of every woman today."

Monroe was found unconscious at her home in Los Angeles on August 4, 1962. She was so young - she was only thirty-six. The official version claims that the upset and disappointed in life, the star, finally desperate, committed suicide. Many years have passed, but rumors that it was a deception of the century do not subside. As there is no smoke without fire, so these rumors - they have some basis.

Marilyn Monroe, leading a turbulent and chaotic life, ended up trapped between warring mafia groups, the Kennedy dynasty and the Hollywood elite. Keith Badman discovered rare gems of never-before-seen details and interesting details. The creators of the series promise that they will unveil the veil of secrecy not only around the last months of Marilyn's life, but also around her death. It will be a proper requiem for a bright star that went out so early.

Also, the film drama will touch upon Monroe's relationship with the actor and Kennedy's son-in-law, Peter Lawford, the last person who spoke to her before his death. “Many people think they know the truth about the last months of Marilyn Monroe, but this is a complex and tragic story that we want to portray with compassion and respect,” said Seven Seas Films co-founder Dan Sefton.

In her book, Badman claims that Marilyn only spent one night with John F. Kennedy. With his brother, Robert Kennedy, she had no close relationship at all. The writer describes in great detail a blatant incident in the life of the actress, where she was sexually exploited by bandits, in a hotel owned by Frank Sinatra.

The producer of the project, Sefton, told reporters that the story of Marilyn Monroe never really interested him until he read Badman's book. He called the work of the writer extremely exciting. Especially Sefton was impressed by the criminal details. He said in an interview with the Radio Times, “I was really hooked. I thought that if it caused such a storm of feelings in me, then it is quite possible that other people will feel it too. I hope we can work through this story with due compassion and sensitivity. I can’t wait any longer for us to revive Marilyn.”

As far as casting goes, this will surely be a problem for a decade. There are several actresses who have managed to accurately capture the essence of the star, Michelle Williams, for example, received a Golden Globe for Best Actress in My Week with Marilyn (2011). Kelly Garner also managed to portray a screen siren in the television movie The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe (2015).

Ana De Armas (Blade Runner 2049, No Time To Die) has been cast as Monroe in the film Blonde, which is also in progress. The plot of this film is based on the 2000 novel by Joyce Carol Oates. Along with De Armas, Adrian Brody (Arthur Miller) and Bobby Carnavale (Joe DiMaggio) will take part in the film. The Blonde is coming to Netflix. Sefton commented to the Radio Times: “My personal experience is that she is a very complex, interesting woman, and we didn't really see who she was … she is smart, she is funny, she is witty. She is not a caricature, which she is often portrayed, especially recently."

Actresses from Hollywood's golden past have never been particularly fashionable. Wonder Woman star Gal Gadot will play actress and inventor Hedy Lamarr in the Showtime miniseries. Like the drama about Marilyn Monroe, it aims to show the depth of a gifted and misunderstood personality.

The names of the leading actors and the release date of the film about the life and death of the cult Hollywood star are still unknown. In the new production there is an unpaved field of work. In addition to the selection of actors and other organizational issues, you need to try to maintain the necessary balance, presenting this sensational and disturbing chronicle on the screens.
