104. Marilyn Monroe
Description
It's time for Kt to take the wheel and talk about one of her lifelong favorite actors and pop culture icons--Norma Jeane Baker, better known to the world as Marilyn Monroe!
While frequently thought of as a bombshell and sex symbol, Marilyn was more than that--she was a cultural icon, a savvy self-creator, and a woman navigating fame in a world that frequently wanted to define her. In this episode, we explore Marilyn Monroe’s life from her early years as Norma Jeane to her meteoric rise in Hollywood, how she honed her craft as an actress, and the myths and mysteries that followed her through her life and well after her tragic and early death.
