Goddess and the Girl Next Door

Goddess and the Girl Next Door by John William Law

A new book from writer John William Law chronicles the stardom of two of Hollywood's most iconic actresses - Marilyn Monroe and Doris Day – through the lens of one film production they both shared.

Law talks with John Kiesewetter about Goddess and the Girl Next Door which details the last days of Marilyn Monroe and the production of her incomplete film, Something's Got to Give, and how the film would resurface a year later starring Doris Day under the name Move Over, Darling.

John Kiesewetter, who has covered television and media for more than 35 years, has been working for Cincinnati Public Radio and WVXU-FM since 2015.
