"Beneath the makeup and the smile I am just a girl who wishes for the world."
-Marilyn Monroe
Today marks the 50th anniversary of the late Marilyn Monroe. As goddess of the golden age in Old Hollywood, Marilyn embodied the silver screen and is still the face of glamour and fame to this day.
Thrust into stardom with such an unfortunate past, Marilyn is an inspiration to us all, and her attractiveness yet vulnerability intrigues and captivates all those within her presence. She is most remembered by her free spirit, stunning looks and fashion, movie performances, and scandalous behaviors. Marilyn was also very open with her sexuality, which was somewhat taboo back then, but many people fell in love with her honest personality. She followed her dreams and did what she could to get her name out there, as well as create an image for herself. Her famous, curvaceous figure denounced all those stickily models we see in today’s generation, and I believe that is why Marilyn is so well loved and respected still to this day and age. Soon, she quickly became a sex symbol and the face of America pop-culture.
Marilyn’s life spiraled downward as she battled the press, depression, divorces, photo scandals, lateness, and illness. She was later fired from the film “Something’s Got To Give”, and soon after, came face to face with death from an overdose.
Marilyn Monroe is remembered today as one of the most famous icons in Hollywood, and is lived on through her stunning looks, photos, and all those who she is loved by.
