Initially, the director, too, did not want to adapt Anthony Summers’s book into
a documentary. However, her whole perception of the actress, her death, and
Anthony’s book changed when she heard the audio tapes.

“He played some [of the tapes] to us, and we suddenly thought, Wow, we’re
actually there—inside the investigation,” says

Copper.

The recording included conversations with John Huston, Billy Wilder, Monroe’s
psychiatrist Ralph Greenson’s immediate family, and Eunice Murray, the
housekeeper who found Monroe’s death. Summers talked with a variety of people,
many of whom have since deceased, about their personal memories of Monroe.

The documentary The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes, utilizes them
to create a new portrayal of Monroe. And gives us a fresh perspective on the
life and death of the actress.

The intimacy she heard on the cassettes astounded the director, and she spent a
year going over them. Cooper videotaped recreations of the talks, with actors
dressed in period costumes reenacting the calls with Summers. This was done to
make the audio more visually interesting for her documentary.

The director that this new film really captures the essence of Monroe and shows
her real self for the first time. She says, “you feel like you are in a Marilyn
bubble for 90-something minutes; you are with her.”
