[10/15, 22:27] SKILL INDIA: Marilyn Monroe
born Norma Jeane Mortenson; June 1, 1926 – August 4, 1962) was an American actress,
model, and singer. Known for playing comic “blonde bombshell” characters, she became one of
the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s, as well as an emblem of the era’s
sexual revolution. She was a top-billed actress for a decade, and her films grossed $200 million
(equivalent to $2 billion in 2022) by the time of her death in 1962. Long after her death, Monroe
remains a pop culture icon.In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked her as the sixth-greatest
female screen legend from the Golden Age of Hollywood.Born and raised in Los Angeles,
Monroe spent most of her childhood in a total of 12 foster homes and an orphanage[5] before
marrying James Dougherty at age sixteen. She was working in a factory during World War II
when she met a photographer from the First Motion Picture Unit and began a successful pin-up
modeling career, which led to short-lived film contracts with 20th Century Fox and Columbia
Pictures. After a series of minor film roles, she signed a new contract with Fox in late 1950. Over
the next two years, she became a popular actress with roles in several comedies, including As
Young as You Feel and Monkey Business, and in the dramas Clash by Night and Don’t Bother
to Knock. Monroe faced a scandal when it was revealed that she had posed for nude
photographs prior to becoming a star, but the story did not damage her career and instead
resulted in increased interest in her films.
By 1953, Monroe was one of the most marketable Hollywood stars. She had leading roles in the
film noir Niagara, which overtly relied on her sex appeal, and the comedies Gentlemen Prefer
Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire, which established her star image as a “dumb blonde”.
The same year, her nude images were used as the centerfold and cover of the first issue of
Playboy magazine. Monroe played a significant role in the creation and management of her
public image throughout her career, but felt disappointed when typecast and underpaid by the
studio. She was briefly suspended in early 1954 for refusing a film project but returned to star in
The Seven Year Itch (1955), one of the biggest box office successes of her career.
When the studio was still reluctant to change Monroe’s contract, she founded her own film
production company in 1954. She dedicated 1955 to building the company and began studying
method acting under Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio. Later that year, Fox awarded her a
new contract, which gave her more control and a larger salary. Her subsequent roles included a
critically acclaimed performance in Bus Stop (1956) and her first independent production in The
Prince and the Showgirl (1957). She won a Golden Globe for Best Actress for her role in Some
Like It Hot (1959), a critical and commercial success. Her last completed film was the drama
The Misfits (1961).
Monroe’s troubled private life received much attention. She struggled with addiction and mood
disorders. Her marriages to retired baseball star Joe DiMaggio and to playwright Arthur Miller
were highly publicized, but ended in divorce. On August 4, 1962, she died at age 36 from an
overdose of barbiturates at her Los Angeles home. Her death was ruled a probable suicide.
Norma Jeane Mortenson later took her mother’s name, Baker. Her mother was frequently
confined in an asylum, and Norma Jeane was reared by 12 successive sets of foster parents
and, for a time, in an orphanage. In 1942 she married a fellow worker in an aircraft factory, but
they divorced soon after World War II. She became a popular photographer’s model and in 1946
signed a short-term contract with Twentieth Century-Fox, taking as her screen name Marilyn
Monroe. After a few brief appearances in movies made by the Fox and Columbia studios, she
was again unemployed, and she returned to modeling for photographers. Her nude photograph
on a calendar brought her a role in the film Scudda-Hoo! Scudda-Hay! (1948), which was
followed by other minor roles.In 1950 Monroe played a small uncredited role in The Asphalt
Jungle that reaped a mountain of fan mail. An appearance in All About Eve (1950) won her
another contract from Fox and much recognition. In a succession of movies, including Let’s
Make It Legal (1951), Love Nest (1951), Clash by Night (1952), and Niagara (1953), sh
