A trailer for the Netflix documentary The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes promises a deep dive into the actress' life and death. In the 1950s, Marilyn Monroe -- born Norma Jeane Mortenson -- took the world by storm as the sex symbol of the decade. Monroe starred in a slew of films, cementing her Hollywood persona as the new "blonde bombshell" with the 1953 hit Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. She continued her illustrious career with How to Marry a Millionaire, The Seven Year Itch, and the Billy Wilder classic Some Like it Hot. However, her life was cut short at the age of 36 due to an apparent suicide by way of a barbiturate overdose.

Netflix has released a trailer of Emma Cooper's upcoming documentary, which promises a deep dive into the actress' life and death. Set to an unsettling version of Monroe's performance of "I Wanna Be Loved By You" in Some Like it Hot, the trailer focuses on the 1982 investigation of the actress' death, framed by previously unheard tapes of interviews from the time. The documentary vows to find the truth by going back to the beginning and exploring the intricacies of her life.
