Marilyn Monroe TV series to explore ties to the Mafia, Kennedys
A Marilyn Monroe TV show is coming — and its plot lives up to the title of her classic film “Some Like It Hot.”
The series, which isn’t attached to a network yet, will explore the icon’s final weeks before her death in 1962 at age 36 from an overdose of barbiturates. At the time, her death was ruled a suicide, but that hasn’t stopped conspiracy theories.
Helmed by 101 Studios, the UK production company behind Kevin Costner’s series “Yellowstone,” the still-untitled show will feature Monroe caught between warring factions of the Mafia, the Kennedy political dynasty and the Hollywood elite, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The project is based on the controversial book “Marilyn Monroe: The Final Years” by Keith Badman.
“Beloved movie legend Marilyn Monroe has had many memoirs created about her life, but none quite like this,” 101 Studios CEO David Glasser told the outlet. “Keith Badman has uncovered gems of never-before-released details, centered around the last few months of her sensationalized life and the accusations made. The series pays homage to the bright star whose life was extinguished too early.”
The series would also feature Kennedy

Parts of the 105 file on Marilyn were marked “SM-C” for “Security Matter – Communist.” They were withheld under category B1, used to cover foreign affairs matters and national security. Some documents released to me, on first publication of my book, were entirely blacked out by the censor’s pen – except for their subject headings. More recently, they have been released with only minor deletions. A report dated July 13, 1962, less than a month before Marilyn’s death, would certainly have been seen as troubling.
According to the F.B.I.’s source, not named in the document, Marilyn had talked of having “lunched at the Peter Lawfords with President Kennedy just a few days previously. She was very pleased, as she had asked the President a lot of socially significant questions concerning the morality of atomic testing...Subject’s [Marilyn’s] views are very positively and concisely leftist; however, if she is being actively used by the Communist Party, it is not general knowledge among those working with the movement in Los Angeles.”
