She was born in Los
Angeles in 1926. Her true name was Norma Jean Mortenson. She was a
very famous actress because of her beauty and her wonderful acting
skills for comedies and dramas. She had got three husbands: first she
was married to James Dougherty, then, to Joe DiMaggio and finally, to
Arthur Miller.
She lived her childhood
between orphanages because her mother had mental health problems. Her
first film was 'Ladies of the Chorus' in 1948 but it wasn't
succesful. She acted in different films like 'The asphalt jungle' or
'All about Eve' and at the same time she worked as a model.
She began
to be famous with the film 'Monkey bussiness' in 1951 where she
showed her final image: platinum curly hair.
BEFORE
AFTER
Hollywood didn't value her
because of her artistic talents, they only valued her because of her
beauty. They didn't think that she had her own opinions. So she
decided to organise her own film production in 1957. She debuted with
the film 'The Prince and the Showgril' which was filmed in London.
Marilyn returned to Hollywod and filmed 'Some Like It Hot' in 1959.
She killed herself with pills in 1962 leaving an unfinished film:
'Something's got to give. Police believe that she killed herself
because of her trouble love life, because people didn't think about
her as an actress with her own opinions, they thought about her beauty and her sensuality and due her bad childhood.
