Marilyn Monroe was an iconic American actress, model, and singer who rose to fame in the 1950s. She was born on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles, California, as Norma Jeane Mortenson. Her childhood was marked by instability, and she spent much of her youth in foster homes and an orphanage.
At the age of 16, she married her first husband, James Dougherty, but the marriage ended when he was sent overseas during World War II. Marilyn then began working as a model and was soon discovered by Hollywood studios.
She starred in many popular films, including "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," "The Seven Year Itch," and "Some Like It Hot," and became known for her seductive screen presence and breathy voice. She was also a talented singer and released several albums.
Despite her success, Marilyn struggled with personal demons, including depression and addiction. She died on August 5, 1962, at the age of 36, from a drug overdose. Marilyn remains an enduring cultural icon and is remembered as one of the most beautiful and influential actresses of all time.
