August marks the 61st anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s death and even this many decades later, she is still considered one of the most popular icons in all of Hollywood history. Today’s guest Nina Boski deeply explores the circumstances around the mystery of Marilyn’s passing. By utilizing medical reports, and speaking with physicians and other experts, she’s pieced together a fathomable understanding that addresses Marilyn’s mental illness including anxiety and possibly bi-polar disorder. She also explains how Marilyn, a complex and deeply fragmented person, constantly under pressure, became a prisoner to the image of her character. Nina explores further in her podcast “Behind the Icon.” Info: behindtheicon.com.
