    We had the pleasure recently of interviewing actor, director, producer, professor, and playwright Luke Yankee, who wrote and directs, Marilyn, Mom, & Me. Luke is the son of Oscar, Golden Globe, Emmy and Tony-award winning actress Eileen Heckart, who co-starred with Marilyn in the film Bus Stop.

    In this episode of the All Things Marilyn Podcast, you'll hear great stories about Luke's mom and of course Marilyn:

    • What was the relationship like between Marilyn Monroe and Eileen Heckart?
    • What was it like to be the son of an acclaimed film and Broadway star?
    • What impact did Marilyn have on Heckert?
    • How did Heckert respond when she learned of Marilyn's passing?

    In Marilyn, Mom, & Me, Luke tries to unravel his complex, often volatile relationship with his mother by better understanding her intense friendship with one of the biggest movie stars of all time.

    Get more insights into Yankee's play, which is premiering at the International City Theatre in Long Beach, CA on February 16, and much more in this episode of All Things Marilyn.
