Shadow Selves

The Shadow Selves are whispers inside of Norma Jeane Mortenson/ Marilyn Monroe's mind. They point out all of her personal flaws and make her relive painful moments of her past.

Biography in short
We first see them as curtain rises on Act One. They look just like Norma Jeane and tell her all of her life flaws. After hearing them, Norma Jeane trys to block them out and launches into Let Me Be Your Star. In an early draf of the script, there was a scene where Lee Strasberg has a session with Marilyn where he asks to remember her childhood. One of the Shadow Selves sings Second Hand White Baby Grand (which is about Marilyn's mother). In the finale, as Marilyn sings Don't Forget Me, the Shadow Selves are seen renacting the highlights of her life.
