Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, was an iconic American actress, model, and singer who became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s. Known for her blonde bombshell image and her breathy voice, Monroe achieved widespread fame and success during her career in Hollywood.
Monroe’s childhood was filled with hardship and instability, as she spent much of her early life in foster care due to her mother’s mental health struggles. Despite these challenges, she was determined to make a name for herself in show business, and she soon found success as a model and actress.
Throughout her career, Monroe starred in a number of successful films, including “Some Like It Hot” and “The Seven Year Itch.” However, behind the glamorous facade, Monroe struggled with personal demons, including depression and substance abuse. Tragically, she passed away at the young age of 36 from a drug overdose in 1962.
