Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, was an iconic American actress, model, and singer. She rose to fame in the 1950s as a symbol of beauty, glamour, and sensuality, becoming one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars.
Monroe’s troubled childhood and tumultuous personal life were in stark contrast to her public image as a blonde bombshell. Despite facing numerous challenges, including mental health struggles and failed relationships, she maintained a strong work ethic and continued to charm audiences with her performances on screen.
Monroe starred in several successful films, including “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and “Some Like It Hot,” earning critical acclaim and establishing herself as a talented actress. She was also a talented singer, releasing albums and singles that showcased her sultry voice.
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, her legacy lives on, and she remains a cultural icon whose beauty, talent, and enduring mystique continue to captivate audiences around the world.
