Marilyn Monroe is still a Living Icon in the hearts and minds of millions, but in her own time Norma Jean was suffocated by the Mask of Marilyn Monroe.
This is the familiar "victim" narrative about Marilyn, told and re-told countless times. "Siren’s Heart" tries to imagine another narrative line in which we see Marilyn–nay, Norma Jean–as she might have been; rather, as she wanted so much to be: the more rounded, unhaunted person she couldn’t become in her too-brief life.
