Marilyn Monroe is the ultimate L.A. Woman. While Marilyn was growing up in Los Angeles, the city was also growing, transforming into the city we know it as today. The two are forever intertwined in each other’s history and respective legacies.

Before you see THE SEVEN YEAR ITCH at the Orpheum Theatre, join us for a presentation by historian Elisa Jordan. She’ll speak about historic L.A. places that played key roles in Marilyn Monroe’s life, and that transformed her into the woman now remembered as much more than a movie star.

Prices (Presentation only; Film screening must be purchased separately.)
$20 Conservancy members
