Screen goddess Marilyn Monroe was born 100 years ago, yet she continues to fascinate audiences today. If anything, her talent and charisma are more appreciated now than during her heyday in the 1950s and early 1960s. Her extraordinary career and the challenges of her unhappy personal life have been the subject of dozens of biographies as well as plays, movies, television series, even operas. Presenter Eileen Roach will discuss Marilyn’s remarkable rise from a sad, difficult childhood to the very peak of American success and pay tribute to her enduring talent through film clips and photographs, some familiar and some not. Please join us for a presentation about this great star, whose magic still endures.
