Famous for playing comedic "blonde bombshell" characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s and was emblematic of the era's sexual revolution.

Marilyn Monroe's About
[✎]Marilyn Monroe was a skilled actress who began her career as a model before moving into film. She was one of Hollywood's early and most iconic sex symbols. She was the product of a shattered home and had no idea who her biological father was. She was born Norma Jeane Mortenson and spent the majority of her youth in foster homes because her mother was mentally ill and unable to raise her daughter alone. The little girl had a difficult childhood characterised by abuse and apathy, as a result of which she developed a variety of mental illnesses later in life. She began modeling as a young woman for The Blue Book Modeling Agency and quickly rose to prominence as a successful model due to her outstanding beauty and grace. She eventually moved on to cinema, playing tiny roles at first before landing bigger roles. By posing naked for the Playboy magazine, she quickly established herself as a sex icon. She appeared in several successful films as an actress, including 'The Asphalt Jungle,' 'The Seven Year Itch,' and 'The Prince and the Showgirl.' Her brief life, however, was marred by mental illness and drinking in the latter years. Her life was cut short at the age of 36 due to an overdose of sleeping drugs.
