Brief history: She was born not knowing her father, and her mother
suffered with psychological problems which made it hard to raise
Norma.
She spent a lot of her childhood in foster homes and orphanages.
When in 1942 she married her neighbour. When her husband went overseas she got a job at a radio
plane munitions factory, whereby a photographer came across her when capturing pictures of
women that were contributing to war. She started her modelling career and started taking acting
classes. In 1946 when her husband returned he had an ultimatum
between him and pursuing her career in acting; they divorced.
Soon after she signed her first studio contract with 20th century
fox, she was paid $125 dollars a week, and received a new name
and a complete new image/character. She soon turned into the
blonde bombshell of the
50’s. She married again,
to a retired baseball
legend, but divorced in
October 1954 due to the
vents on the subway that
blew her dress up, her husband was furious. In 1955 she
wanted to become a serious actress.
She returned to Hollywood starting her own film company. She found happiness away from studio
by marrying again in 1956. She was in major films such as ‘Some like it hot’ which expanded her fan
base immensely. After 5 years 1961 she divorced yet
again due to personal issues, also the Misfits her final
box office film which was a disappointment. In 1962, 36
year old ‘Marilyn Monroe’ was found dead in her
Brentwood home with a bottle of sleeping tablets beside
her. Since her death, various sex symbols have come and
go, but no one has ever compared to the iconic Marilyn.
She transformed the 60’s.
