Marilyn Monroe was an American actress, model, and singer who became one of the most iconic figures of the 20th century. Born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles, California, Monroe faced a turbulent childhood marred by poverty and abandonment. Despite these challenges, she rose to become one of the biggest sex symbols in Hollywood during the 1950s.
Monroe’s image as a blonde bombshell with a sultry voice captivated audiences and propelled her to superstardom. She starred in numerous popular films, including “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” “Some Like It Hot,” and “The Seven Year Itch.” Monroe’s personal life was also the subject of intense scrutiny, with her marriages to Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller making headlines.
Tragically, Monroe’s life was cut short when she died of a drug overdose on August 5, 1962, at the young age of 36. Despite her untimely death, Monroe’s legacy endures as a symbol of beauty, talent, and glamour. Her impact on popular culture is undeniable, and she remains a beloved figure in American history.
