Marilyn Monroe was an iconic American actress, model, and singer who captured the hearts of millions during the 1950s and 1960s. Born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles, California, Monroe’s career skyrocketed after she changed her name and signed a contract with 20th Century Fox in 1946. She quickly became a sex symbol and one of Hollywood’s most famous actresses, starring in hit films like “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” “Some Like It Hot,” and “The Seven Year Itch.”
Monroe’s troubled personal life often overshadowed her professional success. She struggled with mental health issues, had several failed marriages, and battled addictions. Despite these challenges, she was known for her beauty, charm, and charisma on and off the screen. Tragically, Monroe’s life was cut short when she died of a drug overdose on August 5, 1962, at the age of 36.
Today, Monroe remains a cultural icon, remembered for her timeless beauty, talent, and enduring legacy in Hollywood. Her image continues to inspire generations of artists, musicians, and admirers around the world.
