Marilyn Monroe is famous for many reasons.

Perhaps the most iconic image of the actress is her white dress billowing up as she stands over a subway grating in the 1955 film, The Seven Year Itch.

Seven years after that film was released, Monroe was found dead in her bed at the age of just 36 and conspiracy theories surrounding how she died have circulated ever since.

What is the truth? Netflix’s The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes attempts to cut through the noise, reports IndieWire:

“The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes” uncovers new details about the night that Monroe allegedly overdosed on drugs at the age of 36. In 1992, Monroe’s case was reopened after KTLA’s “The Marilyn Files” aired on TV.

Netflix’s “The Unheard Tapes” premieres April 27, and no conspiracy theory or Kennedy connection is left unturned. The interviews from the 1992 investigation have never been heard until now.

“I can’t say anything and I knew it all,” one unnamed commentator says in the trailer…

Per the official tagline, the film will discover that “the brighter the star, the darker the truth.”

Emma Cooper directs, with Tiger King creator Chris Smith serving as executive producer.

Even if we don’t end up closer to the definitive truth, it’s still worth revisiting such an iconic figure.

The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes premieres on April 27.
