Marilyn Monroe was, and perhaps will always be, Hollywood’s biggest female film icon and the sexiest of cinema's sex symbols, lighting up the screen in several cinema classics – including one of cinema’s greatest comedies, Some Like It Hot.

The aura surrounding her has been enhanced by a sense of mystery that comes from the fact she was very rarely interviewed. But anyone who knew or worked with her was guaranteed to be asked about their personal 'Marilyn moments'.

Here we tell Marilyn's story through the insights and anecdotes of friends, directors and fellow actors who spoke about her over the years on a selection of Â鶹Éç programmes. With archive interviews featuring stars like Jane Russell, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis, as well as directors like Billy Wilder and John Huston, and Marilyn's former husband Arthur Miller, these conversations paint a picture of a star who conquered Hollywood despite serious battles with her inner demons, and reveal what it was like for those who got to enter into the orbit of one of cinema's greatest stars.
