Who is Marilyn Monroe? It is the 1940's when Marilyn becomes a symbol for women's independence. She is a symbol for men's desires. Even in death, she remains every girl's idol, the woman men drool over. She is who girls wish to be and who men wish they had. But outside of all the fame and fortune, there's another side to Marilyn. In there is the shy, insecure girl overwhelmed by sudden success, who idolizes Clark Gable, who had a rough childhood, and who is used by men but can still fall head-over-heels in love. Go back to her time and see how she lived. This is the real Marilyn Monroe's story.

"Are you sure this is the job you want me for?" I ask my officer, hinting at what happened the last time I was in America. "Who else could we trust besides a woman, especially one as young and beautiful as yourself." The officer adds unintentionally making my face flush in embarrassment. What have I signed up for? Spying, sure. But being Hollywood's most beloved female icon was not apart of contract. Not to mention my previous episode that I still hadn't fully recovered from. "How do you expect me to pull this off?" I question. "Just act as much like Her as you can. I'll take care of the rest." "I don't know...." "Listen to me. It's already happened. Yana is no longer here. From this point on, your new name is Marilyn Monroe." It's the 1960's and the Cold War is waging back and forth between the Soviets and United States. Young Soviet spy, Yana, has just taken on her newest assignment to help the Soviets gain a lead. © 2015 All Rights Reserved.
