Reframed: Marilyn Monroe – Icon (SBS Monday 5 June 2023)

Reframed: Marilyn Monroe – Icon airs Monday 5 June on SBS.

In her most well-known comedy, Some Like It Hot, Marilyn shines as Sugar Kane thanks to her sharp comedic timing. She’s a high-flier, having partied with the Rat Pack, hit on the Kennedys, and sung Happy Birthday to John F. Kennedy.

Marilyn was on the cusp of an exciting new future in the weeks before her death; she had just made international headlines with her skinny-dipping photos and signed a lucrative new contract with Twentieth Century Fox. Her passing was tragic, but her life was anything but.

Marilyn Monroe reimagines the extraordinary rise of an unknown young woman to global superstardom.

Narrated by Golden Globe winner Jessica Chastain, it unveils a multifaceted and fascinating woman who defied the odds to succeed in a man’s world by taking on Hollywood powerbrokers and courageously challenging misogyny in 1950s America. Marilyn’s story is universal; it is not just the story of one woman.
