Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, was an iconic American actress, model, and singer. She became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and is still considered a major cultural icon today. Monroe began her career as a model before making her film debut in 1948. She went on to star in numerous successful films, including “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” “Some Like It Hot,” and “The Seven Year Itch.”
Monroe’s personal life was often filled with turmoil, including multiple marriages and struggles with mental health and substance abuse. Despite her personal troubles, she remains one of the most enduring and beloved figures in Hollywood history.
Tragically, Monroe’s life was cut short when she died of a drug overdose on August 5, 1962, at the young age of 36. However, her legacy has continued to live on through her films, images, and the lasting impact she has had on popular culture. Marilyn Monroe will always be remembered as a timeless symbol of beauty, glamour, and talent.
