One of the most recognizable figures in Hollywood history, Marilyn Monroe was also a model, singer, and one of the most well-liked actors of her day. Blonde, a new Netflix film that chronicles her remarkable career and tragic demise, has reignited interest in her life. However, the vast majority of viewers will be fully aware of the difficulties the actress faced for a significant portion of her career, as well as her ultimate outcome. On August 5, 1962, Monroe’s body was discovered at her Los Angeles residence.
She was discovered on her bed, holding a phone and surrounded by empty prescription drug bottles. She was 36-year-old. Her depression was being treated with medicines. Monroe’s death was “caused by a self-administered overdose of sedative narcotics, and the mode of death is suspected suicide,” according to Los Angeles police after a brief investigation. She was born Norma Jeane Mortenson, and after her mother was determined to be emotionally unstable, she spent a large portion of her childhood in an orphanage or in foster care.
She started working at an aircraft factory at the beginning of the war and wed a coworker in 1942 when she was 16 years old. They got divorced two years later, and she decided to use the name “Marilyn Monroe” on film by signing a brief contract with 20th Century Fox in 1946. Her career began to take off in 1950 with a number of classic performances, but she was frequently stereotyped as the humorous “blonde bombshell” role in the film.
