*** All those incredible interviews were filmed by the Television Academy. I highly recommend checking out their website as they have been working on interviewing and recording the memories and careers of the biggest names in the business so we can all cherish and learn from the people who shaped this industry.

Some interviews had to be resynced by myself as the original upload wasn’t matching audio to picture. I only compiled clips relating to Marilyn Monroe. To check out the full interviews, go to: https://interviews.televisionacademy....
