Dass die Faszination mehr als 60 Jahre nach ihrem frĂŒhen Tod ungebrochen ist, liegt an der Vielschichtigkeit der Person und des PhĂ€nomens Monroe: Lange auf ihr Image als Sexsymbol reduziert, war sie zugleich Pionierin, die gegen Studios kĂ€mpfte, Hollywoods Regeln fĂŒr Frauen neu schrieb – und als Intellektuelle unterschĂ€tzt wurde.
