I'm Rebecca Lervoy and this is You Can't make this up is the podcast where we uncover the true stories behind

your favorite Netflix documentaries and films.

On today's episode, we take a closer look

at the Netflix documentary,

the mystery of Marilyn Monroe, the unheard tapes.

There was more to this person. Him at the eye.

Family.

Orphan girl rejections.

The general. This person was so important.

Question marks. Mysteries.

Today we're talking to director Emma Cooper.

Marilyn Monroe's glamorous complicated life made her an icon of the screen and a

celebrity cautionary tale.

Her tragic death spawned conspiracies and rumors leading all the way to the White House

and which Hollywood legends are made of, securing her unique place in history.

In the mystery of Marilyn Monroe, we hear audio taped from interviews done for a 1980s

biography. In them, the people closest to Maryland share in their own words their observations on her

personality, her career, her emotional challenges, and change the narrative of the night she

died.

her mysterious death and who suggests that the circumstances of a't make this up. Thank you very much. Thank you

for having me. Would you say you are an unlikely choice to direct a documentary about Marilyn Monroe?
