Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, was an American actress, model, and singer who became a major sex symbol in the 1950s. She starred in a number of popular films during her career, including “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” “Some Like It Hot,” and “The Seven Year Itch.” Monroe was known for her beauty, charm, and comedic talent, which contributed to her immense popularity with audiences.
Despite her success in Hollywood, Monroe faced personal struggles throughout her life. She had a difficult childhood and struggled with mental health issues, including depression and anxiety. Monroe also faced challenges in her relationships, including three failed marriages to Joe DiMaggio, Arthur Miller, and James Dougherty.
Tragically, Monroe’s life was cut short when she died of a drug overdose on August 5, 1962, at the age of 36. Despite her untimely death, Monroe’s legacy continues to live on through her iconic films and timeless image as one of the most enduring symbols of beauty and glamour in Hollywood history.
