Marilyn Monroe
Wikipedia entry:
Marilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926 - August 5, 1962), born Norma Jeane
Mortenson, but baptized Norma Jeane Baker, was an American
actress, singer and model. After spending much of her childhood
in foster homes, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to
a film contract in 1946. Her early film appearances were minor,
but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve
(both 1950) were well received. By 1953, Monroe had progressed
to leading roles. Her " dumb blonde " persona was used to comedic
effect in such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), How to
Marry a Millionaire (1953) and The Seven Year Itch (1955). Limited
by typecasting, Monroe studied at the Actors Studio to broaden
her range, and her dramatic performance in Bus Stop (1956) was
hailed by critics, and she received a Golden Globe nomination.
Her production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, released The
Prince and the Showgirl (1957), for which she received a BAFTA
Award nomination and won a David di Donatello award. She received
a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Some Like It Hot (1959).
