Marilyn Monroe centennial sparks Dutch film retrospectives and US true‑crime TV special

In June and July 2026, Dutch cinemas and cultural venues host a series of film retrospectives honoring Marilyn Monroe's 100th birthday. Screenings of Some Like It Hot, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and All About Eve run at Lab111 in Amsterdam, Lantaren Venster in Rotterdam, Slieker Filmin in Leeuwarden and other cities, accompanied by lectures and introductions that examine Monroe’s star persona.

Meanwhile, in the United States, FOX airs a new true‑crime documentary titled “Celebrity Crime Scene: Marilyn Monroe.” Produced by TMZ, the program uses AI‑driven reconstruction to revisit the 1962 death of the actress, claiming inconsistencies in the original scene and suggesting the death may have been staged. Hosted by cold‑case investigator Paul Holes, crime‑scene analyst Alina Burroughs and reporter Kiki Monique, the special premiered on June 21, 2026, and will be available on Hulu the following day.
