Norma Jean & Marilyn is a 1996 made-for-TV biographical film produced by Home Box Office and premiered on May 18, 1996. The film featured Ashley Judd as Norma Jean Dougherty and Mira Sorvino as Marilyn Monroe. It was partially-based on "Norma Jean: My Secret Life With Marilyn Monroe" by actor Ted Jordan (played by Josh Charles), who claimed to have had a years-long relationship with Monroe.
The tagline for the highly-fictionalized film summarizes the plot: "Marilyn Monroe was our fantasy. Norma Jean was her reality." In dream-like scenes, Monroe and her former self appear together, with Norma Jean sometimes taunting Marilyn. The original music score was composed by Christopher Young.
It was nominated for 5 Emmy Awards, including for both lead actresses.

Though the film was a commercial success it was panned by many[who?] as being inaccurate of the life of Marilyn Monroe. One of the main inaccuracies of the film is Marilyn's death. As well as the title of the film, as Marilyn's birth name was spelled Norma Jeane, not Norma Jean. Many[who?] also claim the film pictured Marilyn as being psychotic.
