Reframed: Marilyn Monroe - Episode Guide

A young Norma Jeane, while showing talent and audacity, turns her back on her difficult childhood and puts herself on the radar in Hollywood as "Marilyn Monroe."

Marilyn's rise is nearly ruined when it's revealed she posed nude for a calendar. Her defiance about posing catapults her to stardom.

Determined to become a serious actress, Marilyn departs from Twentieth Century Fox to launch her own production company. She creates a new identity in New York as Fox refuses to release her contract.

Marilyn shows her mature talent as an actress in "Some Like it Hot," hangs out with the Rat Pack, sings "Happy Birthday" to JFK, and wins a triumphant victory over Twentieth Century Fox shortly before her untimely death.
