Hannah Platt, Janine Harouni and Tony Hawks explore the legacy of Marilyn Monroe. Did she really live her life like a candle in the wind?

Was Marilyn Monroe a genius who beat the system to become a star? Or was she a career driven narcissist who perpetuated the sexism of old Hollywood? And does she have a case to answer for the toxic beauty standards with still live with today.
