I WANNA BE LOVED BY YOU presents Marilyn Monroe in a startling new light. It draws upon unpublished letters from Marilyn, Arthur Miller and Joe DiMaggio; case notes and private letters from Marilyn’s psychoanalyst, Dr. Ralph Greenson; and unpublished audio recordings from the likes of Jane Russell, Billy Wilder, John Huston, Amy and Milton Greene, housekeeper Eunice Murray, and many more. We go behind the scenes of her marriages to teenage sweetheart Jim Dougherty, Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller. We see Marilyn train with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio, working to dismantle the common perception that she was merely a dumb blonde. And in the concluding chapters, Andrew Wilson dissects what happened on the night Marilyn died after a suspected drug overdose.
