A Centennial Celebration for Marilyn Monroe

TVC 738.2: Via remote from the Hollywood Museum: TV Confidential brings you coverage of the recent opening night ceremonies for From Norma Jean to Marilyn Monroe: A Centennial Celebration, a new exhibit at the Hollywood Museum that features, among other items, an exclusive look at never-before-published photographs from George Barris' last photo sessions with Marilyn Monroe, which occurred in mid June and July 1962, just a few weeks before her death. For tickets and more information, go to TheHollywoodMuseum.com. This segment includes remarks from Donelle Dadigan, founder and president of the Hollywood Museum, prior to the re-dedication of the Museum's famous Blondes Only Room (the legendary makeup studio where Monroe was transformed from a brown-haired beauty into a blonde bombshell), plus remarks from guest speakers Traci Park, Los Angeles City Council member; actress Alisha Soper, who played Monroe in two Ryan Murphy television productions (including Feud); and George Barris' daughter, Caroline Barris. Monday, June 1, 2026 marked the centennial birthday of the screen legend.
