Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, was an iconic American actress, model, and singer. Known for her beauty, talent, and charisma, Monroe became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s. She starred in numerous successful films including “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” “Some Like It Hot,” and “The Seven Year Itch.”
Monroe’s personal life was often as tumultuous as her professional one. She struggled with mental health issues and had a series of highly publicized relationships, including marriages to Joe DiMaggio and Arthur Miller. Despite her fame and success, she grappled with feelings of loneliness and insecurity.
Tragically, Monroe’s life was cut short when she died on August 5, 1962, at the young age of 36. Her death was ruled as a probable suicide, but conspiracy theories have persisted over the years.
Even decades after her passing, Marilyn Monroe remains an enduring cultural icon, celebrated for her talent, beauty, and lasting impact on Hollywood. Her legacy continues to influence popular culture and inspire generations of fans around the world.
