She was, and remains, one of cinema’s most brilliant stars. Norma Jeane Baker, known to the world as Marilyn Monroe, died in 1962 at age 36, but she left a legacy of classic films, fashion, and a carefully-crafted celebrity image. To mark the centenary of her birth, the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is launching an exhibition, “Marilyn Monroe: Hollywood Icon.” Correspondent Tracy Smith talks with those studying the sex symbol’s life and career, and those who are preserving her film persona.

“Sunday Morning” looks back at historical events on this date.

For more than a century, one of Washington’s best-kept secrets lay beneath the Lincoln Memorial: the Undercroft, a soaring 50,000-square-foot foundation built to keep the landmark from sinking into D.C.’s swampy ground. Beginning in June, the public will be able to visit the space, now with a museum tracing the memorial’s history, from its construction to its role as a powerful stage for the civil rights movement. Correspondent Faith Salie goes underground.

Professional pickleball is America’s fastest-growing sport, and its biggest star is Anna Leigh Waters. Correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti talks with the 19-year-old, whom many call the greatest pickleball player of all time.

“Sunday Morning” remembers some of the notable figures who left us this week.

Jim Axelrod reports. 

The former first lady sits down with correspondent Rita Braver.

With the Great Migration, when millions of African Americans fled violence and discrimination in the Jim Crow South for a new life up North, New York City’s Harlem neighborhood became a haven for writers, artists, musicians and political leaders. The resulting “Harlem Renaissance” in the 1920s challenged racist stereotypes, and changed the way America, and the world, saw African American culture. Nancy Giles reports.

At a very special library in Copenhagen, Denmark, the “books” being checked out are actual human beings. The Human Library, founded 26 years ago, offers 30-minute conversations with living books on a wealth of subjects, and is now available in 80 countries (including the United States) and online. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook talked with the library’s co-founder Ronni Abergel, and checked out three unique books on the topics of schizophrenia, refugees, and Greenland.

From stick-shifts to self-driving cars, “CBS Sunday Morning” goes down the road of all things automotive.
