Netflix's Marilyn Monroe Documentary Leaves Fans 'Heartbroken'
A true rags to riches
Watching the Marilyn Monroe documentary on Netflix, dramatic details aside…..my god she was absolutely gorgeous. Her beauty and impact has transcended decades, it’s astonishing. A Gemini icon, if you will

Regardless of her misfortunes, Monroe lived an eventual life many dream of. And, her legacy continues decades later.
Brokenhearted
Watching The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes on Netflix and when I got to the part where Marilyn found notes written by Arthur Miller calling her a disappointment and a whore my heart broke. She probably thought she was marrying a cultivated and enlightened man.

Men were the subject of contention for Monroe. They did not treat her as she deserve.
A depressive movie
Watching the Marilyn Monroe documentary on Netflix is so depressing because even to this day, this woman cannot be left in peace.

Monroe's history of suffering abuse was highlighted. Some men sexually abused her and others mentally and emotionally abused her.
A sad upbringing
This documentary on Marilyn Monroe on Netflix is heartbreaking. 10 foster homes, childhood molestation, abusive relationships, pregnancy loss…. She’s is hands down the most iconic woman on the planet & it’s upsetting she felt so unloved during her time

Monroe's childhood was less than stellar. She grew up with not many familial ties.
Looking for love
Watching the Marilyn Monroe doc on Netflix. It's sad of course, but the bit where she's asked what attracted her to Arthur Miller and she says, "have you seen him," and smiles, and it hard cuts to him looking like Lurch from the Addams Family, got a snort-laugh out of me. pic.twitter.com/17VJtbxJil

The documentary detailed Monroe's love life, which was a misfortune. She was often attracted to men who didn't appreciate her.
