Sky Arte's 'Echo' dedicates episode to Marilyn Monroe on centenary
The 19th episode of the Sky Original videopodcast 'Echo – Quello che rimane', hosted by Matteo Caccia, focuses on Marilyn Monroe, airing on Sky Arte on May 30, 2026. The episode coincides with the 100th anniversary of Monroe's birth on June 1, 1926. Film critic Gianni Canova joins Caccia to discuss the gap between Norma Jeane (Monroe's birth name) and her public persona, exploring themes of abandonment, desire for love, ambivalent relationship with power and her body, and her premature death at age 36 in 1962. The series, launched in early 2026, examines the legacy of influential figures who remain relevant despite their death. Each episode features a studio guest offering personal or professional insights. 'Echo' is available on streaming platforms, Sky Italia's YouTube channel, Sky TG24, Sky Documentari, and on demand.
