BBC To Produce Marilyn Monroe Drama

Variety reports that the BBC will dramatize the last months of Marilyn Monroe's life, including her relationships with JFK and Bobby Kennedy.

The working title for the series is "The Last Days of Marilyn Monroe."

The producers said the series would cover a period in which Monroe's behavior became increasingly erratic as her dependence on alcohol and medication caused her glittering film career to plunge.

BBC Studios executive producer Anne Pivcevic said the series would tackle "big themes such as power, love, loyalty and politics."

She added: "In the last few months of her life, Marilyn was sincerely loved, callously betrayed, cynically filled with hope and ultimately cruelly abandoned. Her death changed the lives of everyone in her orbit and cemented her status as a legend."
