Los Angeles, Oct 28 (IANS): "Pan Am" star Kelli Garner is all set to essay the role of late actress Marilyn Monroe in a miniseries.
Garner will star with Oscar winner Susan Sarandon, who will take on the role of Monroe's mentally ill mother Gladys Baker in the series titled "Marilyn", reports eonline.com.
Based on the New York Times best-seller "The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe" by J. Randy Taraborrelli, "Marilyn" will apparently reveal everything that the iconic superstar succeeded in hiding from an all-too-invasive world.
The miniseries will show how she lived a life in the spotlight while simultaneously fighting a battle against the mother of all demons, which she inherited from her mother, a troubled woman "whom she loves, hates and wants desperately to save".
