Program Description

Event Details

When you think of words to describe the iconic Marilyn Monroe, what do you think of? Gorgeous, sex symbol, blonde bombshell, famous, and vibrant are a few of the popular monikers—yet, there are many more words to describe the legendary Monroe and her striking appearance. Her popularity as an actress soared in the 1950’s and 1960’s until her
sudden death. Today, her fame, popularity, and beauty still live on. She is someone who both men and women still put on a pedestal for having the “perfect look.” Aside from her status as an iconic sex symbol, who was Marilyn Monroe?


Marilyn Monroe, portrayed by historical presenter, Michelle Gibbons, will discuss her tragic childhood and struggle for stardom, her famous movies, her rise to fame, and her alleged relationship with President Kennedy. Learn why Marilyn became so much more than just a beautiful face.
