Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, was an iconic American actress, model, and singer. She became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s, known for her blonde bombshell image and captivating on-screen presence.
Monroe’s career began in the early 1940s, but it wasn’t until the 1950s that she rose to superstardom. Some of her most famous films include “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” “The Seven Year Itch,” and “Some Like It Hot.” Monroe’s personal life was just as intriguing as her Hollywood persona, marked by relationships with high-profile men, including Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller.
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, Marilyn Monroe’s legacy endures through her timeless films and status as a cultural icon.
