[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 440549, member: 7"] In memory of Marilyn's centennial -- June 1, 2026 -- I decided to re-watch MARILYN MONROE: THE FINAL DAYS for the umpteenth time yesterday. The documentary premiered on ABC back on June 1, 2001, and focuses on the last few months of Marilyn's life, leading up to her ultimate death on August 5, 1962. THE FINAL DAYS is easily one of my favorite documentaries, and perhaps one of the most informative looks at the literal "final days" of one of the 20th-century's most famous and iconic individuals. The primary focus is the 1962 production of the ill-fated SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE, a comeback-of-sorts for Marilyn, which had been assembled rather quickly by 20th Century-Fox in the hopes of easing the financial strain of CLEOPATRA (1963). The production was anything but smooth, but the documentary also shifts into discussing her personal life, her alcohol and drug abuse, and the reaction of her co-stars, bosses, employees, and friends to her behavior.
