A century after Marilyn Monroe's birth on June 1, 1926, CBS News revisits a remarkable act of preservation: a retrospective aired just six days after her death at thirty-six, capturing the voices of those who had actually known her. Before mythology could harden into monument, friends, mentors, and colleagues spoke while grief was still immediate and memory still unguarded. The centennial offers not merely an occasion to celebrate an icon, but an invitation to consider how we come to know public figures — and how much is lost when the people who truly knew them fall silent.
