The episode then presents a detailed biographical summary, covering her birth name, her status as a global icon and sex symbol, and her struggle for critical recognition as an actress, culminating in her untimely death from a barbiturate overdose. Major sections expand on her challenging youth, the progression of her career from pin-up to major film star in the 1950s, her work with Method Acting, and a summary of her three marriages to James Dougherty, Joe DiMaggio, and Arthur Miller.
