Greg commented on the play After The Fall that the club saw last month. Greg noted that the play was wonderful but difficult to watch, as it is an intense portrait of Arthur Miller's life with Marilyn. Greg complimented the actress that played Maggie, saying she brought depth to her character when most actresses would have brought only a caricature of the image of Marilyn Monroe. Overall the play was rewarding to watch. (More information on the play please CLICK HERE)

After we covered the meeting notes we were treated to a wonderful 'Grade A' French documentary called MARILYN MONROE: INVESTIGATION INTO A SUSPECT. The film was about an hour in length and was filled with never before seen interviews from important people in Marilyn's life. The documentary covered the final day of Marilyn's life and explored every theory into Marilyn's death. Riveting and informational, this documentary was a notch above most and was well received by The Marilyn Remembered Fan Club!
