Marilyn Monroe (1 June 1926 – 5 August 1962), born Norma Jeane Mortenson but baptized Norma Jeane Baker, was an American actress, singer and model.Marilyn Monroe's career as an actress spanned 16 years. She made 29 films, 24 in the first 8 years of her career. After spending much of her childhood in foster homes, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946. Her early roles were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950) were well received. She was praised for her comedic ability in such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire and The Seven Year Itch, and became one of Hollywood's most popular and glamorous performers.
The typecasting of Monroe's "dumb blonde" persona limited her career prospects, so she broadened her range. She studied at the Actors Studio and formed Marilyn Monroe Productions. Her dramatic performance in William Inge's Bus Stop was hailed by critics, and she won a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Some Like it Hot.
The final years of Monroe's life were marked by illness, personal problems, and a reputation for being unreliable and difficult to work with. The circumstances of her death, from an overdose of barbiturates, have been the subject of conjecture. Though officially classified as a "probable suicide", the possibility of an accidental overdose has not been ruled out, while conspiracy theorists argue that she was murdered.In 1999, Monroe was ranked as the sixth greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute.
Poetry by Monroe
I could have loved you
once and even said it
But you went away,
When you came back it was too late
And love was a forgotten word.
Remember?
O, Time
Be Kind
Help this weary being
To forget what is sad to rememberLoose my loneliness,
Ease my mind,
While you eat my flesh.
I left my home of green rough wood,
A blue velvet couch.
I dream till nowA shiny dark bush
Just left of the door.
Down the walk
Clickity clack
As my doll in her carriage
Went over the cracks-"We'll go far away.
"Don't cry my doll
Don't cry
I hold you and rock you to sleep
Hush hushI'm pretending now
I'm not your mother who died.
Help helpHelp
I feel life coming closer
When all I want to do is die.
Famous Quotes by Marilyn Monroe
-Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.
-It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone - so far.
-Fame will go by and, so long, I've had you, fame. If it goes by, I've always known it was fickle. So at least it's something I experience, but that's not where I live.
-Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.
-Husbands are chiefly good as lovers when they are betraying their wives.
-I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent.
