Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, was an iconic actress, model, and singer who became one of the most famous sex symbols of the 1950s. Raised in foster homes and orphanages, Monroe faced many challenges in her early life, but she persevered and rose to fame through her talent and charisma.
Monroe’s career began with modeling, which led to a contract with 20th Century Fox in 1946. She quickly gained attention for her beauty and comedic talent in films such as “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and “Some Like It Hot.” Her sultry persona on and off the screen captivated audiences worldwide.
Despite her success, Monroe struggled with personal demons, including anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. She married three times, including her high-profile marriage to baseball legend Joe DiMaggio. Tragically, Monroe’s life was cut short at the age of 36 when she died of a drug overdose in 1962.
Even decades after her death, Marilyn Monroe remains an enduring symbol of beauty, glamour, and stardom. Her influence on pop culture and society continues to be felt, making her a timeless legend in the history of Hollywood.
