Art historians continue determined to reveal the mysterious woman portrayed by Leonardo in ‘La Gioconda’ (some now believe that she is Bianca Giovanna Sforza and not Lisa Gherardini), but few doubt that the true ‘modern Mona Lisa’ is Marilyn Monroe. August 5 will be the sixtieth anniversary of her death, but the sexiest and most famous platinum blonde in the world continues to fascinate today. Just as thousands of tourists daily adore Da Vinci’s painted woman on his Louvre altar, legions of fans fervently remember the Monroe. Netflix has just released the documentary ‘The mystery of Marilyn Monroe. The unreleased tapes’ and ‘Blonde’ is yet to be released, a film based on the ‘best seller’ by Joyce Carol Oates, starring Ana de Armas.
