Marilyn Monroe was an iconic actress and sex symbol who captivated audiences with her beauty, talent, and charisma. Born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles, California, she overcame a difficult childhood to achieve fame and success in Hollywood.
Monroe’s acting career began in the early 1950s, and she quickly rose to stardom with roles in films such as “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and “Some Like It Hot.” Her trademark blonde hair, hourglass figure, and breathy voice made her a beloved and enduring figure in pop culture.
Beyond her on-screen persona, Monroe was also known for her troubled personal life, including marriages to baseball legend Joe DiMaggio and playwright Arthur Miller. She struggled with mental health issues and substance abuse, all while navigating the pressures of fame and public scrutiny.
Tragically, Monroe’s life was cut short when she died of a drug overdose on August 5, 1962, at the age of 36. However, her legacy lives on through her iconic films and timeless beauty, ensuring that she will always be remembered as a Hollywood legend.
