The show business' love affair with one of its favourite muses, Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe, refuses to die as a new project on the legend is in the works. According to an international website, talks are on for the development of a TV series based on the final months of Monroe's life.

The show, based on Keith Badman's non-fiction book, The Final Years of Marilyn Monroe, is the first filmed project about the late star's life to be endorsed by Authentic Brands Group, the owner of the Monroe estate.
