Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson; baptised Norma Jeane Baker June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962), was an American actress, singer and film producer. She was born in the charity ward of the Los Angeles County Hospital. Her mother was Gladys Pearl Monroe.After spending much of her childhood in foster homes, she began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946.
Her early roles were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950) were well received, and as her career progressed she became known as a sex symbol. She was praised for her comedic ability in such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and The Seven Year Itch (1955), and became one of Hollywood's most popular performers. She won a Golden Globe Award for best comedy/musical actress, and in 1999 was ranked as the sixth greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute. Her marriage to baseball player Joe Di Maggio failed, and following her marriage to playwright Arthur Miller, she studied at the Actor's Studio and formed Marilyn Monroe Productions. Her dramatic performance in Bus Stop (1956), was hailed by critics, and it was her performance in Billy Wilder's Some Like it Hot (1959) which won her the Golden Globe. She was found dead at her home in Brentwood, Los Angeles, California on August 5, 1962.
