THE suite at the Hotel Bel-Air where Bert Stern photographed Marilyn Monroe for her famous Last Sitting in 1962 no longer exists. It is now part of the elegant La Prairie Sparather apropos, as the often difficult star was well known for making people wait while relaxing in a hot bath.

BEIRUT: Marilyn Monroe is one of the 20th centurys great icons, but what would happen to the screen siren if you took her out of Hollywood and placed her in Beirut? Marwa Khalil and Raia Haidars play Who Killed Marilyn? now at the Monnot Theater, explores the consequences of giving the 50s sex symbol a Lebanese face.

Haidar and Khalil co-wrote the play, and because we are both actors we wanted to ...
