What happens

Marilyn and Me is a 1991 American television film. It premiered on the History Channel in India on May 12, 2006, in Double 'F'. The film portrays the life of Robert Slatzer, an American writer who claimed to have married Marilyn Monroe in Mexico on 4 October 1952 (although there is no proof that this happened) and said that he met her when she was just beginning acting. Their secret affair shatters and rebuilds several times, as Marilyn is torn apart between her career and her lover. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
