FYC, I wouldn't include the Smash episode, as it is set fifty years after her death and since any references to her life are at least once removed.

FYC, you might want to consider these Marilyn Monroe film à clefs, biographical documentaries and in-production biopics (once they release):
film à clefs
Emily Ann/Rita Shawn is based on Monroe
 Kelly Williams/Emmaline Kelly is based on Monroe
biographical documentaries
in-production biopics
I am surprise that there are less than a dozen biographical Marilyn Monroe films. I would have thought there would be more.

I would add a note on these two movies to cover yourself and preempt any questions. These two film a clef movies use aliases to prevent legal entanglements, despite being clearly Marilyn Monroe biopics.

@Paok_Kilkis​ I like the simple note, "This movie use aliases for MM in order to prevent legal entanglements." I think it is a better solution than the one I proposed. Nicely done.

"M Marilyn Monroe" is not coming out anytime soon, so I don't think it should be on the list at this point.

I've seen My Week With Mariliyn, Blonde and Insignificance. I didn't find any of them to be particullary good.
