Personal Life of Marilyn Monroe

I am good, but not an angel. I do sin but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a small world trying to find someone to love. Marilyn Monroe's jobs and careers led her to a famous and outstanding life. Marilyn's education was attending college at UCLA Extension which boosted her life farther at fame, but one thing that later on died; her life.

    Marilyn was very emblematic of the era's attitudes towards sexuality. Marilyn was a model for playing as  blond bombshell characters and became one of the most iconic sex symbols of the 20th century. She also faced a scandal when her nude photos reached out, but instead of losing her career it gained more interest. Marilyn was also an actress and played in a series of minor films. Some of the films she played in were  as young as you feel,  Monkey Business, and the dramas of  Clash by night  and  Don't Bother to Knock . Over the next two years, Marilyn signed a new contract with Fox in 1951 and became a popular actress. Her movies and comedies brought out the most of her career along with a great job of modeling which made her famous. A few of her movies were Some Like It Hot, The Seven Year Itch,  The Misfits, and  Niagara. These scenes took her more than halfway to her fame.

    Marilyn also had a very rough childhood. She spent most of her childhood in orphanages and foster homes because of poor parenting. After her birth, Gladys changed her name to Baker, the name of her first husband. Marilyn Monroe's education was very important and played in several different roles. She attended 6 different grammar schools before 7th grade and also attended UCLA Extension College. Her parents were Gladys Pearl Baker (mother) and James Dougherty (father). Marilyn's mother lived with her but was taken away because she was mentally unstable and the father was absent. Norma Jeane Mortenson was born in Los Angeles General Hospital on June 1st, 1926 in California. She was baptized as Norma Jeane Mortenson but then after changed her name to Marilyn Monroe which is the name she used throughout her life and the one she would still be using today. Marilyn Monroe was first married when she was 16 years old to James Dougherty ( age of 21 ).

She also married Joe Dimaggio for 8 months, which was 274 days because they had got in multiple fights and he physically fought her so she got divorce papers which were filed on mental cruelty. Another spouse Marilyn had love affairs with was Arthur Miller and they were married from 1956 to 1961 and then got divorced. The online studies say that her death was a barbiturate overdose which was a poisoning due to excessive doses of barbiturates and the only way death would occur was a lack of breathing. Marilyn Monroe also had a possibility of her being murdered by John Kennedy and Robert Kennedy at the age of 36 (Marilyn had alleged affairs with both of them) and John Kennedy had died 3 months after she did on November 22, 1962. A weird thing about her death story was that Richard Poncher was buried face down, looking at Marilyn 23 years ago (he was the age of 81). This was the story of Marilyn Monroe and how she died.
