Nude: Marilyn Monroe: The Mortal Goddess 1996 Nude Scenes

A&E Biography producers peel away Marilyn Monroe’s glamorous façade in a bid to discover the real woman underneath in the feature-length biopic Marilyn Monroe: The Mortal Goddess (1996). Culled largely from archival footage, the program explores the meticulously constructed character of one of Hollywood’s most legendary icons and contrasts it with the modest girl hiding behind the pancake makeup. The film also scores serious bonus points by including copious shots from buxom Norma Jean’s modeling career, including an iconic image of the actress lounging in the buff.
