SIZE

She was the epitome of the Blonde Bombshell.  Born Norma Jean Mortenson on June 1st, 1926, her surname was changed to Baker, her mother's first husband.  After living a drama filled childhood in a succession of foster homes, Norma Jean married a neighborhood boy, who subsequently enlisted in the merchant marines as WWII broke out.  Norma Jean worked in a munitions plant where she was encouraged by a war photographer to become a model, so she bleached her hair and did so, appearing on a number of magazine covers and began a career in the movies as well as a bit player for 20th Century Fox.  After WWII, her film work was sketchy, and she returned to modeling for a bit, then appeared in a film with the Marx brothers and did a series of pin up photos. Her film breakthrough came in 1950 when she appeared in The Asphalt Jungle and several other films.  Some nude photos taken in 1949 were seen by Hugh Hefner and she was asked to be the first Playboy Playmate in 1953.  Her notable films include many musicals such as Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend, Gentleman Prefer Blondes and Some Like it Hot, as well asother fare - Seven Year Itch, How to Marry a Millionare, Bustop, The Misfits and many others.

Monroe's personal life was filled with trouble - failed marriages, and her later life with questionable health and unstable behavior and the odd circumstances leading up to her death have been written about repeatedly, but she remains an American icon..
