1. Argument
If you can make a girl smile, you can make her do anything.


Marilyn Monroe....the name evokes many different feelings for many different people.
Even within my own heart it evokes a mixture of emotions that cannot be put into words. To the
fans who love her to this day, she is more than an actress, more than a beautiful face, more than
the world's most famous blonde.
I have chosen this topic because I really appreciate this perfect woman, in my opinion,
Marilyn Monroe. I appreciate her not only for her talent, but for her ambition to go on in her life
with a simple and strong determination. She came from a poor family and she didnt feel the love
of a mother or of a father. She was at times extremely unhappy; she tried to cope with pressure
by taking drugs or by being involved in various love affairs in search for happiness.
Although some consider her nothing but a failure, to me, she is a legend. This beautiful,
fragile woman, probably the most beautiful woman of the 20th century, is my role model. Her
quotes help me so much in life and maybe this is the reason why I appreciate her and I think she
is really a perfect woman.
Her humour, as recognized by the people who knew her, her compassion for all living
things, her desire to be loved, her wish to have children, are all impressive to me. All of these
things are difficult to see in the glamorous woman we know as Marilyn Monroe. But she was
human. Beneath it all, she was a little girl who was often hurt just like anyone else. Perhaps that
is the most important lesson to be learned from her life and her death. Illusions are just that. We
must always try to see the person beneath them.
She is a vision...and a man's creation. She is perfect because of her transformation...which
left her vulnerable to her own identity.







2. Prcis

For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others ,for beautiful lips, speak only words of
kindness ,and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.

In the first chapter I am going to write about Marilyn Monroes life, about her family, her
relationships, her biography too . In the second chapter I will insist on her performance, how
she had always wanted perfection in her life and why she became so famous, a legend for us.
In chapter 3, unfortunately, I must write about her death and in chapter 4 I insisted on presenting
some of her quotes, that always fascinate me when I read them.



3 . Introduction



Actress Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, in Los
Angeles, California. During her career, Monroe's films grossed more than $200 million. At only
36 years old, Marilyn Monroe died of a drug overdose on August 5, 1962. Marilyn Monroe's
career as an actress spanned 16 years. She made 29 films, 24 in the first 8 years of her career.
She has one of the most recognized faces in the world. Over thirty years after her death, Marilyn
Monroe is still a household name.
Her trademark platinum hair and beauty mark, her famous skirt-blowing scene from
The Seven-Year Itch, all of these things are a part of our culture. Marilyn Monroe is an icon, a
legend. Who was this luminous woman, this glamorous star? Behind the glitter and the smiles,
who was the woman who made it all possible?



4. Chapter I : About Marilyn Monroe
4.1 Family and early life

"I'm not interested in money. I just want to be wonderful" ~ Marilyn Monroe
On June 1, 1926, a little girl named Norma Jeane was born. The sad story of her
childhood would be one much repeated and capitalized upon when this child became the most
famous female star in Hollywood history. Norma Jeane did spend considerable time in foster
homes, and very little of her childhood with her mother, Gladys. But the tales of childhood woe
told later in her life were often exaggerated. Nonetheless, Norma Jeane had a difficult childhood,
and suffered emotional problems throughout her life as a result of her lack of stability in
childhood, and her feeling of being unwanted. She tried to replace the father and mother, the
family she never really had, through her marriages and by attaching herself to the families of
others.
Norma Jeane married James Dougherty in June of 1942, when she was just sixteen. He
was older, something common to all of her husband. The marriage was not, from most reports,
particularly unhappy, but it was doomed to failure. Norma Jeane had higher aspirations than just
being Mrs. Dougherty. In 1944, while working at a parachute factory, a new model was
discovered, and Norma Jeane Dougherty's face began to appear on numerous magazine covers.
Her rise to stardom had begun.
In 1946, Norma Jeane got a divorce, a new name, and set herself on the path to a new
career as an actress. The name was Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn dyed her hair blonde. It would take
years to reach its final platinum colour. She appeared in a number of movies, with small roles
over the next few years. Her first film was Scudda-Hoo Scudda-Hay. She played a leading role in
Ladies of the Chorus, an hour-long B-movie in which she showed a new talent, singing two
numbers: "Every Baby Needs a Da-Da-Daddy" and "Anyone Can See I Love You". More bit
parts followed, in mostly forgettable films. Some were less forgettable than others, most notably
The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve, where Marilyn worked with Bette Davis. Her first
leading role in a feature film came in Don't Bother to Knock. It was released in 1952. By this
time Marilyn was already well-known and was being romantically linked to retired baseball
legend Joe DiMaggio.

4.2 Relationships
Monroe had three marriages, all of which ended in divorce. The first was to James
Dougherty, the second to Joe DiMaggio, and lastly to Arthur Miller. Allegedly, she was
briefly married to writer Robert "Bob" Slatzer. She is alleged to have had affairs with both
John and Robert Kennedy. Marlon Brando, in his autobiography Songs My Mother Taught
Me, claimed that he had had a relationship with her, and enduring friendship lasting until her
death. She also suffered two miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy during her three
marriages.
Monroe married James Dougherty on June 19, 1942, at the home of Chester Howell
in Los Angeles. As a result of her modeling career, he began to lose interest in her and stated
that he did not approve of her new job. Monroe then decided to divorce Dougherty. The
marriage ended when he returned from overseas in 1946. In The Secret Happiness of Marilyn
Monroe and To Norma Jeane with Love, Jimmie, he claimed they were in love, but dreams of
stardom lured her away. In 1953, he wrote a piece called "Marilyn Monroe Was My Wife"
for Photoplay, in which he claimed that she threatened to jump off the Santa Monica Pier if
he left her. She was reported to have been furious and explained in 1956 interview that she
confessed to having attempted suicide during the marriage and stated that she felt trapped and
bored by Dougherty, even blaming their marriage on her foster mother. In her autobiography,
explaining the sudden dissolution of their marriage, Monroe stated, "My marriage didn't
make me sad, but it didn't make me happy either. My husband and I hardly spoke to each
other. This wasn't because we were angry. We had nothing to say. I was dying of boredom."
Monroe eloped with Joe DiMaggio at San Francisco City Hall on January 14, 1954.
In 1951, DiMaggio saw a photograph of Monroe alongside Chicago White Sox players Joe
Dobson and Gus Zernial, prompting him to request a date with her in 1952. Of their initial
meeting, Monroe wrote in My Story that she did not have a desire to know him, as she had
feared a stereotypical jock.
On June 29, 1956, Monroe married playwright Arthur Miller, in a civil ceremony
in White Plains, New York. Monroe met Miller in 1950. During this filming of Bus Stop, the
relationship between Monroe and Miller had developed, and although the couple were able to
maintain their privacy for almost a year, the press began to write about them as a couple,
often referred to as "The Egghead and The Hourglass.
The reports of their romance were soon overtaken by news that Miller had been
called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee to explain his supposed
communist affiliations. During the investigation, Monroe was urged by film executives to
abandon Miller, rather than risk her career but she refused, later branding them as "born
cowards".
After she finished shooting The Prince and the Showgirl with Laurence Olivier, the
couple returned to the United States from England and discovered she was pregnant. Tony
Curtis, her co-star from Some Like It Hot, claims he got Monroe pregnant during their on-off
affair that was rekindled during the filming of Some Like It Hot in 1959, while she was still
married to Arthur Miller.

Miller's screenplay for The Misfits, a story about a despairing
divorce, was meant to be a Valentine gift for his wife, but by the time filming started in
1960 their marriage was beyond repair. A Mexican divorce was granted on January 24, 1961,
in Ciudad Juarez by Francisco Jos Gmez Fraire.

From President Kennedy's birthday gala where Monroe sang "Happy Birthday, Mr.
President", May 19, 1962.On May 19, 1962, Monroe made her last significant public appearance,
singing "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" at a birthday party for President John F. Kennedy at
Madison Square Garden. The dress that she wore to the event, specially designed and made for
her by Jean Louis, sold at an auction in 1999 for $1.26 million. Monroe reportedly had an affair
with President John F. Kennedy.
It was often claimed that Monroe was in love with President Kennedy and wanted to
marry him in the early 1960s; that she called the White House frequently; and that, when the
married President had to break off their affair, Monroe became even more depressed, and then
turned to Robert Kennedy, who visited Monroe in Los Angeles the day that she died.



Chapter II Why is Marilyn Monroe a legend?
5.1 Early work: 19451947

Norma Jeane was encouraged to apply to The Blue Book Modeling Agency. She
signed with the agency and began researching the work of Jean Harlow and Lana Turner. She
was told that they were looking for models with lighter hair, so bleached her brunette hair to a
golden blonde. Monroe became one of Blue Book's most successful models; she appeared on
dozens of magazine covers.
Her successful modeling career brought her to the attention of Ben Lyon, a 20th Century
Fox executive, who arranged a screen test for her. Lyon was impressed and commented, "It's
Jean Harlow all over again." She was offered a standard six-month contract with a starting salary
of $125 per week. Lyon did not like the name Norma Jeane and chose "Carole Lind" as a
stagename, after Carole Lombard and Jenny Lind, but he soon decided it was not an appropriate
choice. Monroe was invited to spend the weekend with Lyon and his wife Bebe Daniels at their
home. It was there that they decided to find her a new name. Following her idol Jean Harlow, she
decided to choose her mother's maiden name of Monroe. Several variations such as Norma Jeane
Monroe and Norma Monroe were tried and initially "Jeane Monroe" was chosen.
Eventually, Lyon decided Jeane and variants were too common, and he decided on a
more alliterative sounding name. He suggested "Marilyn", commenting that she reminded him of
Marilyn Miller. Monroe was initially hesitant because Marilyn was the contraction of the name
Mary Lynn, a name she did not like. Lyon, however, felt that the name "Marilyn Monroe" was
sexy, had a "nice flow", and would be "lucky" due to the double "M"
[24]
and thus Norma Jeane
Baker took the name Marilyn Monroe.
Marilyn Monroe's first movie role was an uncredited role as a telephone operator in The
Shocking Miss Pilgrim in 1947. She won a brief role that same year in Dangerous Years and
extra appearances in Green Grass of Wyoming and You Were Meant for Me. She also won a three
scene role as Betty in Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay!, but before the film's release her part was said
by the Twentieth Century-Fox publicity department to have been cut down to a brief one-line
scene. Green Grass of Wyoming, You Were Meant For Me, and Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay!,
wouldn't be released until 1948, which was months after Monroe's contract had ended in late
1947.

5.2 Breakthrough: 19481951
In 1948, Monroe signed a six-month contract with Columbia Pictures and was
introduced to the studio's head drama coach Natasha Lytess, who became her acting coach for
several years. She starred in the low-budget musical Ladies of the Chorus (1948). Monroe was
capitalized as one of the film's bright spots, but the movie didn't bring any success for Monroe
nor Columbia. During her short stint at Columbia, studio head Harry Cohn softened her
appearance somewhat by correcting a slight overbite she had. She had a small role in the Marx
Brothers film Love Happy (1949). Monroe impressed the producers, who sent her to New York
to feature in the film's promotional campaign. Love Happy brought Monroe to the attention of
the talent agent, Johnny Hyde, who agreed to represent her.
He arranged for her to audition for John Huston, who cast her in the drama The Asphalt
Jungle as the young mistress of an aging criminal. Her performance brought strong reviews,
[31]

and was seen by the writer and director, Joseph Mankiewicz. He accepted Hyde's suggestion to
cast Monroe in a small comedic role in All About Eve as Miss Caswell, an aspiring actress,
described by another character as a student of "The Copacabana School of Dramatic Art".
Mankiewicz later commented that he had seen an innocence in her that he found appealing, and
that this had confirmed his belief in her suitability for the role. In March 1951, she appeared as a
presenter at the 23rd Academy Awards ceremony. In 1952, Monroe appeared on the cover of
Look magazine wearing a Georgia Tech sweater as part of an article celebrating female
enrollment to the school's main campus. In the early 1950s, Monroe unsuccessfully auditioned
for the role of Daisy Mae in a proposed Li'l Abner television series based on the Al Capp comic
strip, but the effort never materialized

5.3 Leading films: 19521955

She made her first appearance on the cover of Life magazine in April 1952, where she was
described as "The Talk of Hollywood". Stories of her childhood and upbringing portrayed her in
a sympathetic light: a cover story for the May 1952 edition of True Experiences magazine
showed a smiling and wholesome Monroe beside a caption that read, "Do I look happy? I
should for I was a child nobody wanted.
Four films in which Monroe featured were released beginning in 1952. She had been lent
to RKO Studios to appear in a supporting role in Clash by Night, a Barbara Stanwyck drama,
directed by Fritz Lang. Released in June 1952, the film was popular with audiences, with much
of its success credited to curiosity about Monroe, who received generally favorable reviews from
critics. This was followed by two films released in July, the comedy We're Not Married!, and the
drama Don't Bother to Knock. We're Not Married! featured Monroe as a beauty pageant
contestant. Variety described the film as "lightweight".
In Don't Bother to Knock she played the starring role of a babysitter who threatens to
attack the child in her care. The downbeat melodrama was poorly reviewed, although Monroe
commented that it contained some of her strongest dramatic acting.
Monkey Business, a successful comedy directed by Howard Hawks starring Cary Grant
and Ginger Rogers, was released in September and was the first movie in which Monroe
appeared with platinum blonde hair. In O. Henry's Full House for 20th Century Fox, released in
August 1952, Monroe had a single one-minute scene with Charles Laughton, yet she received top
billing alongside him and the film's other stars, including Anne Baxter, Farley Granger, Jean
Peters and Richard Widmark.Darryl F. Zanuck considered that Monroe's film potential was
worth developing and cast her in Niagara, as a femme fatale scheming to murder her husband,
played by Joseph Cotten.
Her next film was Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) co-starring Jane Russell and directed
by Howard Hawks. Her role as Lorelei Lee, a gold-digging showgirl, required her to act, sing,
and dance. The two stars became friends, with Russell describing Monroe as "very shy and very
sweet and far more intelligent than people gave her credit for". She later recalled that Monroe
showed her dedication by rehearsing her dance routines each evening after most of the crew had
left, but she arrived habitually late on set for filming.
Her rendition of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" became associated with her.
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes also marked one of the earliest films in which William Travilla
dressed Monroe. Travilla dressed Monroe in eight of her films including Bus Stop, Don't Bother
to Knock, How to Marry a Millionaire, River of No Return, Theres No Business Like Show
Business, Monkey Business, and The Seven Year Itch. How to Marry a Millionaire was a comedy
about three models scheming to attract wealthy husbands. The film teamed Monroe with Betty
Grable and Lauren Bacall, and was directed by Jean Negulesco.
Monroe's films of this period established her "dumb blonde" persona and contributed to her
popularity. She saw a possibility in 20th Century Fox's upcoming film, The Egyptian, but was
rebuffed by Darryl F. Zanuck who refused to screen test her. Instead, she was assigned to the
western River of No Return, opposite Robert Mitchum. Director Otto Preminger resented
Monroe's reliance on Natasha Lytess, who coached Monroe and announced her verdict at the end
of each scene. In late 1953 Monroe was scheduled to begin filming The Girl in Pink Tights with
Frank Sinatra. When she failed to appear for work, 20th Century Fox suspended her.

5.4 International success: 19541957

One of Monroe's most notable film roles was shot in September 1954, a skirt-blowing key
scene for The Seven Year Itch on Lexington Avenue at 53rd Street in New York City. In it, she
stands with her co-star, Tom Ewell, while the air from a subway grating blows her skirt up. A
large crowd watched as director Billy Wilder ordered the scene to be refilmed many times. Joe
DiMaggio was reported to have been present and infuriated by the spectacle.
The filming was completed in early 1955, and after refusing what she considered to be
inferior parts in The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing and How to Be Very, Very Popular, Monroe
decided to leave Hollywood on the advice of Milton Greene. The role of Curly Flagg in How to
Be Very, Very Popular went to Sheree North, and Girl in the Red Velvet Swing went to Joan
Collins. The Seven Year Itch was released and became a success, earning an estimated
$8 million. Monroe received positive reviews for her performance and was in a strong position to
negotiate with 20th Century Fox.
On New Year's Eve 1955, they signed a new contract which required Monroe to make four
films over a seven-year period. Her salary for Gentlemen Prefer Blondes amounted to $18,000,
while freelancer Jane Russell was paid more than $100,000. Monroe's dramatic performance as
Chrie in Bus Stop (1956), a saloon singer with little talent, marked a departure from her earlier
comedies.
In The Prince and the Showgirl (1957), Monroe co-starred with Laurence Olivier, who
also directed the film.Bus Stop was followed by The Prince and the Showgirl directed by
Laurence Olivier, who also co-starred. Prior to filming, Olivier praised Monroe as "a brilliant
comedienne, which to me means she is also an extremely skilled actress".
Monroe's performance was hailed by critics, especially in Europe, where she won the
David di Donatello, the Italian equivalent of an Academy Award, as well as the French Crystal
Star Award. She was also nominated for a BAFTA. It was more than a year before Monroe
began her next film. During her hiatus, she summered with Miller in Amagansett, New York.
She suffered a miscarriage on August 1, 1957.
[96][97]


5.5 Last films: 19581962
With Miller's encouragement she returned to Hollywood in August 1958 to star in Some
Like It Hot. The film was directed by Billy Wilder and co-starred Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis.
Wilder had experienced Monroe's tardiness, stage fright, and inability to remember lines during
production of The Seven Year Itch. Some Like it Hot became a resounding success, and was
nominated for six Academy Awards. Monroe was acclaimed for her performance and won the
Golden Globe Award for Best Actress - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. By this time,
Monroe had only completed one film, Bus Stop, under her four-picture contract with 20th
Century Fox.
She agreed to appear in Let's Make Love, which was to be directed by George Cukor, but
she was not satisfied with the script, and Arthur Miller rewrote it. Monroe's health deteriorated
during this period, and she began to see a Los Angeles psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson. He later
recalled that during this time she frequently complained of insomnia, and told Greenson that she
visited several medical doctors to obtain what Greenson considered an excessive variety of
drugs. He concluded that she was progressing to the point of addiction, but also noted that she
could give up the drugs for extended periods without suffering any withdrawal symptoms.
By 1960 he had developed the short story into a screenplay, and envisaged it as containing
a suitable role for Monroe. It became her last completed film. The Misfits, directed by John
Huston and starring Clark Gable, Montgomery Clift, Eli Wallach and Thelma Ritter. Shooting
commenced in July 1960, with most taking place in the hot Northern Nevada desert. Monroe was
frequently ill and unable to perform, and away from the influence of Dr. Greenson, she had
resumed her consumption of sleeping pills and alcohol. A visitor to the set, Susan Strasberg, later
described Monroe as "mortally injured in some way," and in August, Monroe was rushed to Los
Angeles where she was hospitalized for ten days. Monroe returned to Nevada and completed the
film, but she became hostile towards Arthur Miller, and public arguments were reported by the
press.
In 1962, Monroe began filming Something's Got to Give, which was to be the third film of
her four-film contract with 20th Century Fox. On May 19, 1962, she attended the early birthday
celebration of President John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden, at the suggestion of
Kennedy's brother-in-law, actor Peter Lawford. Monroe performed "Happy Birthday" along with
a specially written verse based on Bob Hope's "Thanks for the Memory". Kennedy responded to
her performance with the remark, "Thank you. I can now retire from politics after having had
'Happy Birthday' sung to me in such a sweet, wholesome way."
In the final weeks of her life, Monroe engaged in discussions about future film projects,
and firm arrangements were made to continue negotiations on Something's Got to Give. Among
the projects was a biography of Jean Harlow filmed two years later unsuccessfully with Carroll
Baker. Starring roles in Billy Wilder's Irma la Douce and What a Way to Go! were also
discussed; Shirley MacLaine eventually played the roles in both films. A film version of the
Broadway musical, A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, and an unnamed World War I-themed musical
co-starring Gene Kelly were also discussed, but the projects never materialized due to her death.
Her dispute with 20th Century Fox was resolved, and her contract renewed into a $1 million two-
picture deal, and filming of Something's Got to Give was scheduled to resume in early fall 1962.

6. Chapter III Death and aftermath

On August 5, 1962, LAPD police sergeant Jack Clemmons received a call at 4:25 am from
Dr. Ralph Greenson, Monroe's psychiatrist, proclaiming that Monroe was found dead at her
home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California. She was 36 years old. At the subsequent autopsy,
eight milligram per cent of Chloral hydrate and 4.5 milligram percent of Nembutal were found in
her system, and Dr. Thomas Noguchi of the Los Angeles County Coroners office recorded cause
of death as "acute barbiturate poisoning," resulting from a "probable suicide."
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 or Mafia complicity. It was reported that the last person
Monroe called was the President. On August 8, 1962, Monroe was interred in a crypt at Corridor
of Memories #24, at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles. Lee
Strasberg delivered the eulogy. Joe DiMaggio took control of the funeral arrangements which
consisted of only 31 close family and friends. Police were also present to keep the press away.


7. Chapter IV Memories (Marilyn Monroe quotes)
On August 4th, 1962, Marilyn Monroe left this world. She left behind many unanswered
questions and many shocked and saddened friends, family and fans around the world. Her crypt,
located in Westwood Memorial Park, and the Brentwood home where she passed away, located
at 12305 Fifth Helena, have become sites of pilgrimage for devoted fans.

Because I really love Mariliny Monroe s quotes, here are some of them :

I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times
hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at
my best.
I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go,
things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you
eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better
things can fall together.
Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than
absolutely boring.
A wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe, and leaves before she is left.
I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big
world trying to find someone to love.
If you can make a girl laugh, you can make her do anything.
The real lover is the man who can thrill you by kissing your forehead or smiling into your
eyes or just staring into space.
If you're gonna be two-faced at least make one of them pretty.
It's better to be unhappy alone than unhappy with someone.
She was a girl who knew how to be happy even when she was sad. And thats importantyou
know.
Beneath the makeup and behind the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world.
Keep smiling, because life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.
I don't mind being burdened with being glamorous and sexual. Beauty and femininity are
ageless and can't be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won't like this, cannot
be manufactured. Not real glamour; it's based on femininity.
Hollywood is a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your
soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents.
I have too many fantasies to be a housewife.... I guess I am a fantasy.
This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a
universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will
be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones
that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them.
I am invariably late for appointments - sometimes as much as two hours. I've tried to change my
ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.
Some people have been unkind. If I say I want to grow as an actress, they look at my figure. If I
say I want to develop, to learn my craft, they laugh. Somehow they don't expect me to be serious
about my work.
Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.
When you have a good friend that really cares for you and tries to stick in there with you, you
treat them like nothing. Learn to be a good friend because one day you're gonna look up and say
I lost a good friend. Learn how to be respectful to your friends, don't just start arguments with
them and don't tell them the reason, always remember your friends will be there quicker than
your family. Learn to remember you got great friends, don't forget that and they will always care
for you no matter what. Always remember to smile and look up at what you got in life.
People had a habit of looking at me as if I were some kind of mirror instead of a person. They
didn't see me, they saw their own lewd thoughts, then they white-masked themselves by calling
me the lewd one.


8. Conclusion :

Marilyn Monroe dominated the age of movie stars ,to become ,without questions ,one of the
most famous women.A worldwide sensation in her life time,Monroes popularity made her much
than a star ,she became an American icon .
Her trademark platinum hair and beauty mark, her famous skirt-blowing scene from The
Seven-Year Itch, all of these things are a part of our culture. Marilyn Monroe is an icon, a
legend. Who was this luminous woman, this glamorous star? Behind the glitter and the smiles,
who was the woman who made it all possible?
Her humour, as recognized by the people who knew her, her compassion for all living things,
her desire to be loved, her wish to have children, are all impressive to me. All of these things are
difficult to see in the glamorous woman we know as Marilyn Monroe. But she was human.
Beneath it all, she was a little girl who was often hurt just like anyone else. Perhaps that is the
most important lesson to be learned from her life and her death. Illusions are just that. We must
always try to see the person beneath them.
She is a vision...and a man's creation. She is perfect because of her transformation...which left
her vulnerable to her own identity.
Although some consider her nothing but a failure, to me, she is a legend. This beautiful,
fragile woman, probably the most beautiful woman of the 20th century, is my role model. Her
quotes help me so much in life and maybe this is the reason why I appreciate her and I think she
is really a perfect woman.
