Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson)
but she was baptized Norma Jeane Baker.
Born on 1st June 1926 at the Los Angeles county Hospital USA.
After spending much of her childhood in foster homes she began her career as a model which led to her first film contract in 1946.
Most of her early film appearances were minor but her performances in Asphalt Jungle and All about eve were very well received and by 1953 she had progressed to leading roles,most notably Gentlemen prefer blondes,How to marry a millionaire and The seven year itch.
Monroe then studied at the actors studio to broaden her range, and her dramatic performance in Bus stop in 1956 was hailed by critics and she received a Golden Globe Award nomination, and in 1957 she won a BAFTA Award nomination for The prince and the show girl and also won a David di Donatella Award.
In 1959 she won a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Some like it hot.
On August 5th 1962 LAPD police sergeant Jack Clemmons received a call at 4.25am from Dr Ralph Greenson (monroe's Psychiatrist) proclaiming that Monroe was found dead at her home in Brentwood LA California, she was just 36 years old.
The Coroners recorded death as "Acute Barbiturate Poisoning" resulting from probable suicide.
There are many theories,including murder,circulated about the circumstances of her death and the timeline after the body was found, some conspiracy theories involved John and Robert Kennedy while other theories suggested CIA and Mafia complicity and it was reported that the last person that marilyn called was the President.
We will probably never know the truth behind the death of Marilyn but she will always be remembered for her timeless beauty and on screen presence.
As Elton John said in the song he dedicated to Marilyn she was " like a candle in the wind never knowing who to turn to when the rain came in"
