Norma Jean & Marilyn Page #2

Synopsis: In this film, Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvino portray two sides of the woman America loved, but who struggled to love herself: Marilyn Monroe. To the world, Marilyn was a vivacious superstar, the epitome of sexuality, sensuality and frolicsome amusement. Every man wanted her - every woman wanted to be her. But behind the enticing smile, beneath the tight-fitting dresses, there was a dark secret - one Marilyn could not bury in the past... the child inside named Norma Jean. Everything Norma Jean dreams of, Marilyn achieves. Every man she struggles to resist, Marilyn succumbs to. And while Marilyn climbs the ladder to success, Norma Jean was beneath it, almost willing her to fall.

Oh, God, Eddie,

I really screwed it up, huh?.

I said some pretty awful things.

God, I'm sorry.

I'm so upset I can't sleep.

You're not really mad at me, are you?.

I don't think

I could take it if you were.

Say you're not mad at me... Eddie?.

Leave me alone!!!

Leave me alone!!!

Leave me alone!!!

Jesus loves me, this I know,

'cause the Bible tells me so.

Norma Jean?. Norma Jean?.

Look at me for a second.

Your mama's sick, honey.

She's going to have to stay

in the hospital a little while.

So how's about you come

and live with Doc and me?.

Juust till she's better.

Why can't I go live with my daddy?.

Do you know about your daddy,

Norma Jean?.

Ma says
