Marilyn

The legend of Marilyn Monroe never ceases to fascinate. Today, just as in the past, she remains the film star who has garnered the most worldwide admiration in history. She was an irresistibly seductive figure—yet also "the girl next door who conquered Hollywood"—with a sexy, alluring, and provocative style and platinum-blonde hair. She became the icon of an entire era and was married to, or romantically linked with, some of the world's most famous and powerful men, ranging from baseball champion Joe DiMaggio and playwright Arthur Miller to John F. Kennedy. Yet her radiant smile masked the pain of a difficult childhood and a desperate need for love.
