Synopsis
Norman Mailer's book on Marilyn Monroe was the basis of this second Marilyn TV movie, covering the legendary actress right up to the time of her death, in contrast to the earlier film, based on Garson Kanin's account, that ended just as she reached stardom. Catherine Hicks won an Emmy Award nomination as Outstanding Actress for her Marilyn Monroe portrayal, with nominations also going to the photographer, art directors and makeup artist. This film maintains one other distinction: it had three directors credited!
