​"It's all make believe, isn't it?"

Marilyn Monroe is one of the most popular stars the movies have ever produced. She grew up in foster homes and orphanages.She was born with the name Norma Jeane Mortenson, and she later adopted the name Marilyn Monroe. By 1946 photographs of her were appearing in national magazines. Then 20th Century-Fox signed her, but her career went nowhere during her first arguement with the studio. When she stood over a subway grate in //The Seven Year Itch// (1955), her white pleated dress billowing above her wait, and squealed, " Isn't it delicious?," she created a legendary image. After she left Hollywood, over a fight with 20th Century-Fox about the bland roles being offered to her. She studied at the Actors' Studio in New York and was then lured bck with a new contract, including one hundred thousand dollars per picture plus director approval. Yet she was far more than a face and a voluptuous body,although thse were her major assets to a flesh-conscious industry. She was a singer, and a dramatic actress. She was also a porn star, and this corrupted her love live. In 1956, Marilyn married playwright Arthur Miller. Their marriage was messed up by her affairs with John and Robert Kennedy and it broke apart during filming of //The Misfits//, which Miller wrote for her.
