American actress, singer, and model Marilyn Monroe. She became one of the most well-known s*x symbols of the 1950s and the early 1960s and was a symbol of the sexual revolution of the time. She was known for playing humorous “blonde bombshell” characters. By the time of her death in 1962, her films had made $200 million (the equivalent of $2 billion in 2021), making her a top-billed actress for a decade. Monroe has remained a significant pop-culture symbol for a very long time. She was named sixth on the American Film Institute’s list of the best female film legends from the Hollywood Golden Age in 1999.
One woman only comes to mind when the term “Marilyn” is mentioned: the stunning, seductive, and enduring Marilyn Monroe. She was adopted at the age of two weeks by her mother, Gladys Baker. She was born Norma Jeane Mortenson (baptized Norma Jean Baker) on June 1, 1926. Gladys frequently ended up in hospitals due to her history of mental instability. Norma dropped out of high school at the age of 15, having spent her youth in a string of foster homes. She started her career as a pin-up model while employed in a munitions plant during World War II. She obtained her first movie deal in 1946, shortly after which she changed her stage name and had her brown hair dyed blonde.

Marilyn managed to win over followers all over the world despite having an unresolved personal life thanks to her sweet voice, kind manner, and stunning smile.
