Marilyn: Her Final Secret (SBS Monday 4 July 2022)
Published
2 years agoon
In Marilyn: Her Final Secret, it is explained how chromosomes from Monroe’s paternal lineage were examined using hair strands in France and the United States, and how the results were compared to DNA samples from descendants of a man suspected of being her father.
“I spent years — and many sleepless nights — working with the very best laboratories to try to get those strands of hair to reveal their secrets, but the results kept on coming back negative,” said François Pomès, the director and executive producer of the documentary. “And then one day, after a year of testing, Ludovic Orlando wrote to me to say that one of the strands had offered up its secret, and that more than 20% of Marilyn’s genetic profile had just been decoded.
“Revealing, through science, the identity of the biological father whom she searched for her whole life is immensely satisfying for me as a fan of Marilyn Monroe. But I think the thing that touched me most was seeing the reaction of Marilyn’s ‘new’ family, who were overwhelmed by this irrefutable evidence.”
Airdate: Monday 4 July 2022 at 7.30pm on SBS.
