~ EACH ONE * UNIQUE * IN HER OWN WAY ~
.
*** Now showing: MARILYN MONROE ***
.
Probably the most celebrated of all actresses, she was born Norma Jeane Mortenson in Los Angeles on June 1, 1926. Her mother Gladys Pearl Baker was mentally and financially unable to care for young Marilyn and placed her in the care of a foster family. Marilyn's father's identity was never known. During her career, Monroe's films grossed more than $200 million ($2 Billion today). She died on August 5, 1962, at only 36 years old.
Monroe had three husbands in her lifetime. As a teen, she wed merchant marine Jimmy Dougherty. In 1954 she was briefly married to baseball great Joe DiMaggio, and two years later, she married playwright Arthur Miller.
With her breathy voice and hourglass figure, Monroe became a much-admired international star, despite her chronic insecurities regarding her acting abilities. Monroe suffered from pre-performance anxiety that sometimes made her physically ill and was often the root cause of her legendary tardiness on film sets.
On May 19, 1962, Monroe made her now-famous performance at John F. Kennedy's birthday celebration, singing "Happy Birthday, Mr. President." Moments later, President Kennedy appeared on stage, saying, "I can now retire from politics after having had 'Happy Birthday' sung to me in such a sweet, wholesome way."
Monroe has been imitated over the years by a number of celebrities, including Madonna, Lady Gaga and Gwen Stefani.
On August 5, 1962, at only 36 years old, Marilyn Monroe died at her Los Angeles home. An empty bottle of sleeping pills was found by her bed.
There has been some speculation over the years that she may have been murdered, but the cause of her death was officially ruled as a drug overdose. There have also been rumors that Monroe was involved with President John F. Kennedy and/or his brother Robert Kennedy around the time of her death.

    Hi there Kandace! I just subscribed to this channel, and accepted your friend invite. Nice to see you, I think you are just about the only one here. I love Bette Davis, Mother Teresa, Maya Angelou, and Marilyn Monroe, if I can ever find the time to watch some of your videos, I'm sure I'd find them quite interesting. Take care, and have a fantastic day.
