With each Marilyn Monroe biopic never fully exploring the icon, Smash is the TV show that came closest because it showed every side of her.

Almost exactly 60 years after she died, the world is still captivated by Marilyn Monroe. Her enigma continues to inspire projects based on the icon’s life; it seems that telling Marilyn’s story is Hollywood’s white whale. But even in death, Marilyn remains apart from us.

The show sprinkles in certain historical aspects of Marilyn’s life as Bombshell comes to fruition, like her doomed romance with Joe DiMaggio and the turbulence of filming The Seven Year Itch. Life in foster homes and her journey through the studio system are also touched upon, but it never attempts to recount Marilyn Monroe’s life exactly as it happened, or even from her perspective. And that’s precisely why Smash is a successful Marilyn story.
