Marilyn Monroe: No Rest Even in Death

Welcome to Dark Dives, a new series where we explore the murky and devious depths of humanity. This goes beyond corporate greed and get rich quick schemes, beyond shady products and questionable CEOs. Here, we take a look at the very worst of humanity, to see what evil people are truly capable of. It’s safe to say that Marilyn Monroe is one of the most famous celebrities to ever walk the earth. While alive, she was bombarded by the constant pressure of fans, producers, and virtually everyone else to constantly “perform”. To make their money, or make them happy. Even in death, she is under insurmountable pressure to constantly sell. Over the years her image has been twisted and turned to represent whatever version of her will make the most money. She gets no rest even in death.
