The question that is often asked in interviews with celebrities is who they would choose if they were given the option to choose between wealth, honor, and fame. Most people's answers cover honor and fame. Wealth is rarely mentioned. Probably because the desire for wealth is considered morally and socially flawed.

The Hollywood movie world is a place where the successful get these three things without asking. Abundant wealth, worldwide fame, and respect in certain circles. Every person associated with Hollywood who is distinguished in his field in one way or another has access to fame, wealth, and honor. People associated with this world can be called real celebrities.

And there are some people among them who are famous among the famous ones, that is, whose fame and popularity spread all over the world by crossing the boundaries of time and space and even after their death it remains till today. Marilyn Monroe is also an actress who passed away more than forty years ago but her fame is increasing instead of decreasing.

What is the reason for this everlasting fame of Marilyn Monroe? Maybe her immense beauty, maybe her unique style, maybe her popular movies, or maybe her bitter life and tragic death.

Marilyn Monroe's life is a unique blend of color and bitterness from beginning to end. The eye of the beholder cannot live without blinking. Was born

She was born in Los Angeles on June 1, 1926, and was named Normagin Martinson. Martinson was the surname of her father Edward, but since she was an illegitimate child, her name was later changed to Norma Jane Baker because her mother's surname was Baker.

Marilyn spent the first part of her life in a world of great hardship and hardship. It did not end there. At the age of eight, she was sexually assaulted by a sexual fanatic, and at that critical age, she was tortured. Shortly afterward his mother suffered a nervous breakdown, lost his balance, and was sent to a psychiatric ward. Marilyn Monroe then spent a short time in adoptive families and orphanages under a court order for helpless children.

He got rid of this hateful cycle when some of his sympathizers ran away and got her married. Marilyn was 16 years old at the time of the marriage and her husband was 21 years old and he was working at an aircraft manufacturing plant. Marilyn Monroe also started working there.

One day while working on the plant, an Army photographer photographed it. This picture caught the eye of some "appreciators". Initially, she got a job modeling bathing suits, and later when she bleached her hair and bleached it, she got a job modeling glamor photographs.

In those days, the famous investor Howard Hughes caught a glimpse of him and expressed his intention to take a screen test of Marilyn Monroe for the films of his film company RKO, but before he could put his intention into practice. , The famous film studio U Twenty Eight Century Fox took Marilyn away.

He signed Marilyn Monroe to his company and on this occasion, his name was changed from Norma Jane Baker to Marilyn Monroe. Initially, Marilyn was given small roles in a few films. Then in 1953, a series of successful films opened the door to fame and notoriety for him. Popular Marlin films of the time include New Gray, Gentleman Prefer Blondes, and Tommy A. Millionaire.

In addition, Playboy Magazine published pictures of her taken in 1948, but their turn came after Marilyn's fame. These events skyrocketed Marilyn's fame and she was named the most famous actress of 1953.

From her first film to her last film, Miss Fits, Marilyn's roles were all those of women who are presented merely for show and to decorate the screen, and throughout the film, the main character of the film runs after her. The wind seems to be blowing and wishing to get them.

Apparently, these characters are very popular, but Marilyn's greatness was that she gave these popular characters such a unique style that people still remember them. There is a certain innocence in her characterization. Looks natural and bold. Before and after Marilyn, no other actress has been able to give such a feature to these ordinary and traditional characters.

The cast of the film may have thought it was just a sex symbol, but it is part of the virtue that Marilyn thwarted their attempt. There is no other such example in the film world. This is how Time Magazine described this feature of Marilyn in one sentence. " Marilyn believes in doing things that are part of her nature. "

In some films, attempts were made to provide entertainment to the viewers by making fun of its beauty, but like other attempts, it failed.

At the height of her fame, Marilyn also realized that she was confined to a certain type of character and was not being given the opportunity to do what she wanted to do. He had his own idea about himself:
