Who is Marilyn Monroe?

Marilyn Monroe was born June 1st, 1926 in LA, California under the name Norma Jeane Mortenson, later Baker, and died 36 years later on August 5th, 1962 in her home in Brentwood of a probable accidental overdose. Monroe is the leading iconic sex goddess and blonde bombshell in cinematic history whose life can summed up by the New York Times title for her 1962 obituary: Brilliant Stardom and Personal Tragedy Punctuated the Life of Marilyn Monroe. Monroe received a 1953 and 1962 Golden Globe for World Film Favorite Female, and a third for Best Motion Picture Actress in a Comedy or Musical for Some Like it Hot (1960) along with several other highly prestigious awards. However, in her career she was often seen, as she said, as a dumb blonde or a tart. There is an enduring mystery at the core of the sex sirens sensation, her onscreen presence was so powerful that it has been copied, parodied, and reworked as new women try to fill part of the legends high heeled shoes. But her center is impossible to locate, and therefore dizzyingly fascinating. Consider the short view of her life: her father was never identified, her mother was unable to keep her, she was legally declared a ward of the state and ultimately ended up with 12 different foster families before age 16, had 3 husbands and countless lovers including President John F Kennedy, no children, and much suicidal depression throughout her family history. Then as the worlds most famous woman she died totally alone under an invented name. She was groundless and familyless which might be the reason for her skilled magic at dream creation. For at the same time she was able to be so witty and honest about herself in interviews, she was portraying glamorous, funny, Hollywood escapist platinum haired fantasy goddesses that shimmered high above the audiences harsher realities, and now we know, far above her own.
