Marilyn Monroe Part 5: A Candle In The Wind.

In the finale episode of our series on Marilyn Monroe, we take a look at her final years, her final movies, and what led up to her untimely death. Like most of her life, her final years weren't easy, and though she did get the chance to co-star with her childhood hero, Clark Gable, in her final completed movie, she was highly distraught when she learned that the press was falsely implying that she was somehow partly to blame for his death. Addiction to prescription pills and thoughts of taking her own life would increase over time, eventually landing her in a mental institution, then being placed in the care of new therapist whose experimental methods did nothing to aid in her depression. Join us for the conclusion episode on the life of Marilyn Monroe as we say goodbye to one of the most icon humans to ever live. (Ep. 045)
