**New Documentary Reveals Marilyn Monroe’s Long-Hidden “Family Secret”**

Marilyn Monroe, the iconic actress whose life has captivated audiences for decades, is once again in the spotlight with the upcoming release of a new documentary.

This project aims to shed light on a mystery that has intrigued many: the true identity of Marilyn’s biological father.

Known as Norma Jeane Baker in her early years, Marilyn faced a turbulent childhood, moving between foster homes as her mother grappled with financial struggles.

Titled “Marilyn, Her Final Secret,” the one-hour documentary by Label News delves into Marilyn’s relentless quest to uncover her father’s identity, culminating in the revelation of a long-held family secret.

Utilizing a strand of Marilyn’s hair preserved since her passing in 1962, producers conducted a DNA test comparing it against a sample from Charles Stanley Gifford, the suspected paternal figure.

Director Francois Pomès expressed his awe at the profound impact of the evidence unearthed during the production, particularly noting the emotional response from Gifford’s descendants upon learning the truth.

Scheduled for a June premiere on the French channel Toute l’Histoire, this documentary promises to offer a fresh perspective on Marilyn Monroe’s enigmatic life and the secrets that shrouded her existence.

While this project explores Marilyn’s personal quest for answers, another documentary by Netflix titled “The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tape” delves into the unrevealed aspects of her life.

Directed by Emma Cooper and executive produced by Chris Smith, the Netflix documentary features exclusive interviews with Marilyn’s inner circle, unveiling intimate details about her private life leading up to her tragic demise on August 4, 1962.

In addition to shedding light on Marilyn’s personal struggles, “The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe” also delves into the controversial circumstances surrounding her death, igniting various conspiracy theories involving powerful figures such as the Mafia and President John F. Kennedy.
