A close-up portrait of a woman with platinum blonde hair styled in vintage waves, wearing red lipstick, a diamond necklace, and looking at the camera with a seductive expression.

A century of Marilyn.

June 1, 2026, marks 100 years since Marilyn Monroe was born. To honor her centennial, WTWMI launches with a three-part series tracing her invention, her rise, and the cost of becoming the most famous woman in the world.

Listen to Part One now. Part Two drops June 2, the day after what would have been her 100th birthday, with Part Three dropping June 9.

A story of strength, ambition, and self-invention — about a girl who shouldn't have had a chance, and the woman she gave everything to become.

WTWMI — listen now, wherever you get your podcasts.
