I just love finding new places to wear diamonds.
00:10
Boop, boop, bee-doo.

00:18
Marilyn had a very rough childhood
00:20
because her mother was very unstable
00:22
and was institutionalized,
00:23
and rather than get into that,
00:25
she lied and said her mother was deceased,
00:27
and so she had to live with that secret
00:30
for the whole beginning of her career.
00:32

00:41
Now, here comes a young lady
00:42
who has created a real sensation in the picture business.
00:45
Have a look at Marilyn Monroe.

["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"]
00:51
Come on over here a little closer.
00:52
This is your television premiere, isn't it, Marilyn?
00:54
That's right.
00:55
It feels almost like making pictures.

01:13
It's not that I object to doing musicals or comedies.
01:20
In fact, I rather enjoy it,
01:21
but I would like to do also dramatic parts, too.

That dress cloister to get a divorce from Joe DiMaggio
02:02
was so controversial at the time.
02:03
That scene in cinematic history
02:05
is considered the defining moment of all film.
02:08
["Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"]
02:12
Climax of the day is a full-blown speculation.
02:14
A young couple poses for a photographer
02:16
and they reach for the photographer's hand
02:18
and I think we're in trouble.

Marilyn Monroe, privately,
02:31
was very different than she was publicly.
02:33
She had created this character.
02:35
She was not this ditzy kind of funny sex pot.
02:42
She was a very thinking, very curious,
02:45
very intelligent woman
02:48
and always wanted to better herself.

It was one of the last public appearances
03:42
for Marilyn Monroe before she sadly passed away.
03:45
So this dress speaks to history, politics,
03:48
the Kennedys, Monroe, it's Hollywood, it's fashion,
03:51
and there's tragedy all wrapped up
03:52
into one piece of souffle gauze
03:55
with 2,500 crystals hand-stitched onto the garment.
