Marilyn Monroe The Last Interview With Life Magazine

Here is an overlay of audio of Marilyn Monroe with photographs and clips as she speaks in her own words about her life. The author, Richard Meryman narrates his recollection of the interview. He later reflects upon the news of her death that he had not noticed a woman who was suicidal at all, but rather her frustration with the studios. You hear Marilyn speak rather intelligently, keenly and punctuated with laughter. The day after the article was released Marilyn Monroe passed away the evening of 8/4/1962 and the world would wake up to the news that she was gone.
