Destined to be a housewife, she will be a model, actress, singer, muse of the greatest, she will climb all the ranks by showing tenacity and integrity. Before entering the legend, Marilyn Monroe is above all a fragile woman but endowed with an extraordinary character.
After a chaotic childhood with various foster families, where she was the victim of several attempts at sexual abuse, the one still called Norma Jean Baker was married to a neighbor in 1940. He was quickly sent to war. She was spotted by a photographer in late 1944 as she checked soldiers' parachutes, and these propaganda shots of the war effort put her on the front pages of every magazine. Encouraged, she embarks on modeling and takes the opportunity to divorce. From brunette she becomes blonde, and from Norma the butterfly becomes Marilyn.

At the end of the film, she leaves the prints of her hands in the cement of the sidewalk of Hollywood Boulevard. Chaining the films from there, she gives the answer to the greatest actors of the moment such as Robert Mitchum or Lauren Bacall. Her second big hit will be Seven Years of Reflection, in which we can see the famous scene of the dress being lifted by the air coming out of a subway gate.

Nevertheless, the recently published writings of what will remain foremost Norma Jean Baker, show her as a woman of great intelligence and rare finesse.
