was an iconic American actress, singer, and model who became a cultural icon and sex symbol of the 1950s and 1960s. Born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles, California, she had a difficult upbringing and spent time in foster care before breaking into the entertainment industry.
Monroe’s breakthrough came with her role in the film “Niagara” in 1953, but it was her performance in “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” the following year that solidified her status as a Hollywood star. She went on to star in numerous successful films, including “Some Like It Hot” and “The Seven Year Itch.”

Despite her untimely death, Marilyn Monroe’s legacy lives on through her memorable film roles and timeless beauty. She continues to be remembered as one of the most enduring icons of American pop culture.
