The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe starring Kelli Garner (The Aviator, Pan Am) as the legendary star Marilyn Monroe premieres in a two night mini-series event: Saturday, May 30, and Sunday, May 31, at 8pm ET/PT.
The miniseries, which uncovers many closely-guarded secrets the blonde bombshell kept from the public, also stars Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon (Dead Man Walking, The Last of Robin Hood) as Marilyn’s biggest secret of all, her mother Gladys, long institutionalized for mental illness.
Academy Award and Golden Globe nominee Emily Watson (Hilary and Jackie) and Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Texas Rising, Magic City) also headline the cast while Sarandon’s daughter Eva Amurri Martino (Californication) plays Gladys in her youth. Morgan stars as Joe DiMaggio while Watson portrays Grace McKee, Marilyn’s childhood guardian.
