August 5, 1962, Marilyn Monroe is found dead in her  LA home. She was discovered lying nude on her bed, face down, with a telephone in one hand. Empty bottles of pills, prescribed to treat her depression, were littered around the room. After a brief investigation, LA police concluded that her death was "caused by a self-administered overdose of sedative drugs and that the mode of death is probable suicide."

Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jean Mortenson in Los Angeles on June 1, 1926. Her mother was emotionally unstable and frequently confined to an asylum, so Norma Jean was reared by a succession of foster parents and in an orphanage. At the age of 16, she married a fellow worker in an aircraft factory, but they divorced a few years later. She took up modelling in 1944 and in 1946 signed a short-term contract with 20th Century Fox, changing her name  to Marilyn Monroe. She had a few bit parts and then in 1949 returned to model to pose for the now famous nude calendar

She began to attract attention as an actress in 1950 after appearing in minor roles in the The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve which won he a contract with Fox.  In the early 1950s she appeared in Love Nest (1951) Monkey Business (1952) and Niagara (1953) Celebrated for her voluptuousness and wide-eyed charm, she won international fame for her sex-symbol roles in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and There's No Business Like Show Business (1954). The Seven-Year Itch (1955) featured the classic scene where she stands over a subway grating with her white skirt flowing up by the wind from a passing train. In 1954, she married baseball star Joe DiMaggio but they divorced eight months later.

In 1955, she studied with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio in New York City and subsequently gave a strong performance as a hapless entertainer in Bus Stop (1956). In 1956, she married playwright Arthur Miller. She made The Prince and the Showgirl-with Laurence Olivier in 1957 but in 1959 gave an acclaimed performance in the hit comedy Some Like It Hot. Her last role, The Misfits (1961) directed by John Huston and written by Miller, whom she divorced just one week before the film's opening.

By 1961, Monroe, beset by depression, was under the constant care of a psychiatrist. Increasingly erratic in the last months of her life, she lived as a virtual recluse in her Brentwood, Los Angeles, home. After midnight on August 5, 1962, her maid, Eunice Murray, noticed Monroe's bedroom light on. When Murray found the door locked and Marilyn unresponsive to her calls, she called Monroe's psychiatrist, Dr. Ralph Greenson, who gained access to the room by breaking a window. Entering, he found Marilyn dead and called the police. An autopsy found a fatal amount of sedatives in her system, and her death was ruled probable suicide.

In recent years, there have been a number of conspiracy theories about her death, most of which contend that she was murdered by John and/or Robert Kennedy, with whom she allegedly had love affairs. These theories claim that the Kennedys had her killed because they feared she would make public their love affairs . August 4, 1962, Robert Kennedy, then attorney general was in fact in Los Angeles. Two decades later, Monroe's housekeeper, Eunice Murray, announced that the attorney general had visited Marilyn on the night of her death.  However,  reliability of these statements made by Murray are questionable.  Today, Marilyn Monroe remains a major cultural icon. The unknown details of her death only add to her mystique

Marilyn Monroe Quotes

It's all make believe, isn't it? -  If I'd observed all the rules, I'd never have got anywhere - I'm very definitely a woman and I enjoy it -  I don't know who invented high heels, but all women owe him a lot

  I don't mind living in a man's world as long as I can be a woman in it - I don't want to make money I just want to be wonderful  - I'm trying to find myself as a person, sometimes that's not easy to do I am trying to prove to myself that I am a person, then maybe I'll convince myself I'm an actress

Creativity has got to start with humanity and when you're a human being, you feel, you suffer I love to do the things the censors won't pass.  Read More >>
