What comes to mind when you think of Marilyn Monroe? A white dress? A birthday song? A tragic symbol?
In this personal reflection, I share the surprising story of how watching Some Like It Hot for the first time completely changed my view of Marilyn Monroe — and why I now consider her one of the greatest screen actors of all time. This video explores the gap between cultural myth and lived brilliance, the deep misogyny that shaped Monroe’s legacy, and how confronting our assumptions can lead to powerful reappraisals — not just of public figures, but of the people in our own lives.
Whether you're a long-time admirer or new to her work, this video invites you to reconsider what you think you know about Marilyn Monroe.
