Marilyn Monroe: Still Dead, Still Sells

For reasons beyond comprehension, Marilyn Monroe still engages the public some 50-plus years after her life and sudden, uh, mysterious death at age 36. At last count, Monroe books, calendars, and various doo-dads on Amazon total more than 15,000 listings. You can also find her on stage, including one 'it's-not-my-fault' play by ex-hubby Arthur Miller. She lives on in movies, like this November's release of My Week With Marilyn, with a cast including Kenneth Branagh, Judi Dench and Derek Jacobi. Monroe is on YouTube where she's currently computerized with President Obama. Uh-huh. And Dreamworks has a Smash TV musical in the works about Monroe with Debra Messing and Angelica Houston. Will this ever end? Apparently not.
