Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, was an American actress, model, and singer who became one of the most iconic figures in pop culture history. Monroe’s career spanned from the 1940s to the early 1960s, and she starred in numerous commercially successful films such as “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” “The Seven Year Itch,” and “Some Like It Hot.”
Monroe’s personal life was just as fascinating as her on-screen persona. She had a tumultuous childhood, spending much of it in foster care and orphanages. Despite these challenges, Monroe persevered and became a symbol of beauty, sensuality, and vulnerability in Hollywood.
Tragically, Monroe’s life was cut short when she died of a drug overdose on August 5, 1962, at the age of 36. Her death has been the subject of much speculation and conspiracy theories, adding to the mystique surrounding her legacy.
Even decades after her passing, Marilyn Monroe remains an enduring cultural icon, revered for her talent, beauty, and lasting impact on the entertainment industry.
