Dr. Noguchi turns out to be an even worse police physician than everybody had thought - Marilyn isn't dead. The question is, should the fans be happy at this news, because she is unrecognizable. Pressured by the studio bosses, she has withdrawn into obscurity in New Vork. She lives from a suitcase in a grubby room on the top floor of 23, Bleecker Street. Flabby and plastered with make-up, among the glamour-photo's and snap-shots from her past. This intriguing production plays on five levels. The 'reality' of Marilyn Monroe, who in those days had to keep Norma Jean Baker alive, and that of Norma Jean, who in 1981 made a desperate attempt to imitate, or rather to be, Marilyn. This double schizophrenia ends in a primal scream: I am not crazy. And the actress who tries to keep these four characters together in a suitably awkward way. Naturally it drives her crazy. Her snivelling despair also becomes public property.
