		</div><p>The last six months of Marilyn Monroe’s life will be explored in a new drama series.</p>
<p>Written by Dan Sefton (Trust Me, The Good Karma Hospital) and based on Keith Badman’s The Final Years Of Marilyn Monroe: The Shocking True Story, the series is being developed by BBC Studios.</p>
<p>The Hollywood star, one of the most enduring sex symbols in popular culture, died at the age of 36 in 1962.</p>
<p>The final months of her life saw her seeking to assert herself with studio bosses as she became more dependant on alcohol and medication, pushing her glittering film career into a decline.</p>
<blockquote><p>Marilyn’s desire to be taken seriously as an actress and her battle with the powerful men who control the studio system is sadly as relevant today as it ever was</p></blockquote>
<p>Badman’s book uncovered details about Monroe, who was born Norma Jeane, and her relationships with baseball player Joe DiMaggio, John F Kennedy and his brother Robert F Kennedy and the Rat Pack’s Peter Lawford.</p>
<p>It also explored the delays around the reporting of the Some Like It Hot star’s overdose on the night of her death.</p>
<p>Sefton said: “I am thrilled to be working with BBC Studios to bring this incredible true story to the screen.</p>

<p>Anne Pivcevic, executive producer, BBC Studios, said: “We are delighted to be developing this ambitious drama with Dan, which tackles big themes such as power, love, loyalty and politics.</p>
<p>“In the last few months of her life, Marilyn was sincerely loved, callously betrayed, cynically filled with hope and ultimately cruelly abandoned.</p>
<p>“Her death changed the lives of everyone in her orbit and cemented her status as a legend.”</p>
