## Resource

Grab a journal, get a makeover & try on that dress you’re afraid to wear in public, because today we’re getting a broader understanding of Marilyn Monroe. Or maybe we should say Norma Jeane. Because that’s kind of the problem, isn’t it? Everyone knows Marilyn Monroe. The white dress. The platinum hair. The beauty mark. The breathy voice. The sex symbol. The tragedy. But very few people know the little girl who came before her. that’s what this episode is about. Not just how Marilyn Monroe died. Or how Marilyn Monroe lived. But how Norma Jeane Baker disappeared. Because on June 1st, 1926, one hundred years ago this week, a baby girl was born in Los Angeles. And over the next thirty-six years she would become the most photographed woman in the world.
