what we know now Fast reaching a half of century of unrelenting post-mortem fame, Marilyn Monroe, America’s most illustrious revenant, finally crosses the threshold from superstardom to sanctity. While doing so, not merely any longer the number one rating sex-symbol of an era or more appropriately the last female in our collective memory best suited to conjure up all that speaks of the “Eternal Feminine”, Marilyn Monroe becomes a Myth.
