Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962), born Norma Jeane Mortenson, was an iconic American actress and model, famous for her roles as a "blonde bombshell" and a major sex symbol in the 1950s and early 1960s. After a troubled childhood and a brief marriage, she rose to fame through a successful modeling career that transitioned into film, leading to prominent roles in classics like "Some Like It Hot" and "The Seven Year Itch." Despite her commercial success, Monroe struggled with personal issues and was often typecast. She died at age 36 from a barbiturate overdose, which was ruled a probable suicide, cementing her legacy as a cultural icon.
