Behind The Mask - Marilyn Monroe's Real Life | Part 1 | GRWM

Marilyn has been a figure in my life since before I can really remember, she's present even if you have never seen her movies or even an interview of her because she's referenced high and low and her image is slapped on anything in order to make it sell. But the life behind the image is one of deep sadness, determination but also hope. We're talking about the truth of her life here, and also assessing the reasons as to why she did the things she did, and why the public, still to this day nearly 70 years after her passing, still hold her so dearly in our hearts.

I couldn't include every little detail of her life, but I've covered most of it, and cleared up a bunch of that messy misinformation that's out there too. There's nothing that bothers me quite like a liar. More to come in part 2, the script was 30 pages so I've condensed as much as I could into two 15 page videos.
