New Marilyn Monroe film Blonde<\/a> has finally arrived on Netflix<\/a> \u2013 and it looks set to be one of the most talked about films of the year.<\/p>\n

On the face of it, it might seem like the film is a traditional biopic of the Gentleman Prefer Blondes star, but it\u2019s actually based on a historical fiction novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates \u2013 meaning that it mixes together fact and fiction throughout its runtime.<\/p>\n

Viewers will therefore be eager to learn which aspects of the plot come from Monroe\u2019s real life and which were invented for this project, given it\u2019s not always clear which elements are taken from the historical record.<\/p>\n

One such example concerns the three-way relationship Monroe is in towards the beginning of the film, when she is seen to be living in a m\u00e9nage \u00e0 trois style arrangement with Cass Chaplin and Eddy Robinson \u2013 the respective sons of Hollywood legends Charlie Chaplin and Edward G Robinson.<\/p>\n

So, is this based on reality? Read on for everything you need to know.<\/p>

Did Marilyn Monroe have romances with Charlie Chaplin Jr and Edward G Robinson Jr?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
It appears that although aspects of this plot point might have their basis in reality, no such throuple relationship between Monroe, Chaplin and Robinson actually existed.<\/p>\n
Chaplin and Monroe are believed to have had a relationship, something which is referenced in Anthony Summers\u2019s biography Goddess: The Secret Lives of Marilyn Monroe, with Summers detailing how Cass invited the star to meet his family over lunch in 1947. The relationship is again suggested in Cass\u2019s own book My Father, Charlie Chaplin.<\/p>\n
