Marilyn Monroe was an American actress, model, and singer who became an icon of pop culture during the 1950s and 1960s. Born in 1926 as Norma Jeane Mortenson, Monroe began her career as a model and transitioned into acting, starring in films such as "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," "The Seven Year Itch," and "Some Like It Hot."
Monroe's image was characterised by her blonde hair, hourglass figure, and breathy voice, which made her a sex symbol of the era. She struggled with personal and professional challenges, including mental health issues and difficulty being taken seriously as an actress, before her untimely death in 1962 at the age of 36. Monroe remains a cultural icon and is still celebrated for her beauty, talent, and impact on Hollywood.
