It was 1962 and Marilyn Monroe was en route to Mexico City. Landing to a flurry of activity, it was announced that day, she'd been awarded a Golden Globe and would be presented with the honor at the awards show that season...
The trip, initially meant to be a quick, necessary getaway to purchase furniture and décor for her new home - evolved into a prolonged celebration. Her first night in CDMX, a cocktail reception was held in her honor at the Continental Hilton Hotel, in the following days she visited Luis Buñuel on the set of “El Angel Exterminador” (The Exterminating Angel), lunched with legendary film star Silvia Pinal, attended a party given by Emilio “El Indio” Fernández and spent time visiting local orphanages.
It was on this trip that she met a young, handsome, wiry screenwriter named Jose Bolaños. A bit of a playboy, Bolaños was married Italian actress Venetia Vianello, but his whirlwind affair with Monroe would forever be a part of his own legacy…Having died in 1994, Bolaños was relatively quiet about his relationship with the star, especially after her death. Hardly any interviews exist today - but I've managed to piece together a full narrative of his story with Marilyn, gratefully assisted by actor Bernardo Vega.

This Season One Finale brings a quiet end to our look at Marilyn Monroe. Massive thanks to everyone who gave their time and talents to help me bring this story to life.
