Welcome to my tribute to Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson to Gladys Baker on June 1, 1926. Shortly after she was born, her mother suffered a mental breakdown & had to be institutionalized. Marilyn never knew her father, and was raised in and out of Foster homes most of her life. She married her first husband, Jim Dougherty when she was just 16. They later divorced so she could pursue her dream of stardom. Her dream was acheived. She later married baseball great Joe DiMaggio, but
divorced after 9 months because of "career differences". Her third, and final marriage, was to playwright Arthur Miller. After four years & several miscarriages, they too divorced. Marilyn's dream of being a simple wife & mother would never be realized. She never found true happiness in her personl life. I think the only man who truly loved her was Joe. He never spoke publicly about her to the day he died.
Marilyn Monroe was one of the most beautiful women of our time. Sadly, her time was cut short. She died on a late August night, in 1962. She was 36 years old. There are many theories about the death of Marilyn Monroe. Murder? Suicide? Accident? The official death certificate lists her death as a "probable suicide", but considering her envolvement with President Kennedy & then later (allegedly), with his brother Bobby, My personal opinion is that she was killed either to cover up her affair with the Kennedy's, or to blow it wide open. Either way, it doesn't matter. She shouldn't have died. Despite some peoples beliefs, she was a wonderfully talented actress & comedienne. She lit up the stage with every performance. She was the highlight of every movie she ever made. I had not yet been born when Marilyn was alive, but I wish I had been. Marilyn was one of the first real movie stars, her death made her a legend. She'll never be forgotten. Marilyn's body may have died 39 years ago, but her soul will live forever in the hearts of all her adoring fans.
Marilyn would have turned 75 on June 1st, 2001.
