Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, was an iconic American actress, model, and singer. Known for her beauty, charisma, and undeniable talent, Monroe became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s. Despite a troubled childhood and a tumultuous personal life, Monroe soared to fame through films like “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” “Some Like It Hot,” and “The Seven Year Itch.”
Monroe’s on-screen presence was captivating, as she exuded a unique blend of innocence and sensuality that made her a beloved figure in Hollywood. Beyond her acting prowess, Monroe was also a savvy businesswoman who established her own production company and sought to control her career.
Tragically, Monroe’s life was cut short when she died of a drug overdose at the age of 36. Despite her untimely death, Monroe’s legacy endures, as she continues to be celebrated as a cultural icon and a symbol of beauty, grace, and resilience.
