Who Was Marilyn Monroe?
Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles. She remains one of the most celebrated and recognized figures in the history of Western cinema. She first burst onto the Hollywood scene with a breakout role in 1953's Niagara and later dominated the 1950s box office with hits such as The Seven Year Itch and Some Like It Hot. Monroe is the ultimate standard-bearer of Hollywood glamour, a woman who died in 1962 at the tragically young age of 36 but who helped usher in a new era of onscreen sensuality.
