I want to dedicate my first article on this woman who has inspired millions of people in many areas. A beautiful girl who was born in 1926, with a tragic childhood, without a father, and a mother with mental health problems that also left her alone soon, living in foster homes where she apparently also was sexually abused at the age of 8 years. Her name, Norma Jeane.
Norma's mother, Gladys Pearl Baker, always wanted to be a successful actress, but the closest she got was a job as a negative cutter in a film producer. Maybe she never imagine that the one who would fulfill that dream be her daughter .
At 16, Norma married the son of a neighbor and avoided going to an orphanage. So at that age she left her studies to devote herself to be a good wife and homemaker.
Approximately four years later, when the United States became part of World War II, her husband had to travel to work as an instructor, and being alone, Norma went to live at her mother in law house, and began working with her in a munitions factory.
But since no one knows when comes luck, a photographer saw her and she seemed beautiful, so he took a photo in her jobthat would appeared in the magazine Yank, the Army Weekly.
Norma loved the idea of being a model, and always intelligent, dedicated, smart and charismatic, he managed being quoted as a model and appeared in dozens of covers of magazines. But her husband did not seem right that his wife show beauty in magazines and he thought it was not arranged with a good wife and homemaker, so he put her to decide whether to continue with him or continue her way to fame. Norma, betting on its future, decided to divorce.
At that time Monrroe Marilyn was born.
Marilyn worked as a movie extra several months and then got to play a telephonist in the musical film "The Shocking Miss Pilgrim" and a waitress in "Dangerous Years". But movies were not well received and so her contract was not renewed.
Then, she signed a contract with Columbia Pictures to play Peggy dancer in the musical Ladies of the Chorus. The film was not very successful and her contract was not renewed. But Marilyn did not give up.
She then signed a contract for six years to work exclusively for films produced by Twentieth Century Fox, worked in films like "Love Happy", "The Concrete Jungle" and "Eve", and received positive reviews.
Then she began to study art and literature and work in low-budget films. Getting increasingly larger roles. Her first starring role was in Do not Bother to Knock, where he played a disturbed babysitter (a great burden dramatic role).
In Monkey Business was first time she appeared with its final image, short hair, wavy platinum blonde.
He then starred Niágara, because the same president of Twentieth Century Fox asked it. And by then, Marilyn had managed to be a singer, model, actress and dancer known.
But her fame and the controversy around her grew even more when the inaugural issue of Playboy magazine came to light. On the cover of this magazine was Marilyn with a plunging neckline. But inside it was much more explosive. Since the centerfold was her beauty totally naked. The actress had taken these pictures for a calendar when she was unknown, but Hugh Hefner, an astute business man, bought the rights at the right time to exploit the growing stardom of Marilyn.
Her consecration was due to his performance in the film Gentlemen "Prefer Blondes" which starred playing Lorelei Lee, a singer and dancer. Her work in this film received good reviews and its interpretation of the musical number "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friends" became a classic of musicals. Being recreated decades later by Madonna in the video for "Material Girl". In that same year, Marilyn was in "How to Marry a Millionaire". In this comedy played Pola, a model tha rented a luxury apartment with her friends in order to attract unsuspecting rich boys to marry them. The film received positive reviews and good collection, and Monroe's performance again received good reviews.
Marilyn was known and admired throughout the world as well as wealthy. "I'm not looking to make money, I just want to be wonderful" she said. She worked in several films getting good reviews and won several Oscars, and even created his own production company called Marilyn Monroe Productions, in short, was a star!. Norma´s golden dreams had come true.

But apparently Marilyn did not allow Norma fully live. Norma wanted to be Marilyn, a character invented by herself, the producers, the image consultants, etc. She thought that this would make her feel totally happy, after all, she was an actress and that was just a character, a very successful one. What she never imagined was that fame will never leave her. Norma had other dreams, "What good is it being Marilyn Monroe? Why can't I just be an ordinary woman? A woman who can have a family ... I'd settle for just one baby. My own baby" She was depressed, and her memories and the letters that her mother sent her from the asylum often made her feel worse. She was afraid to go crazy and also be enclosed like his mother. So apparently took barbiturates and became addicted to them.
Marilyn died in 1962, still beautiful as always, never ceased to be, never aged or gained weight. She even died classy, lying in bed, completely naked, scented with Channel # 5 and without any marks on her body.
The circumstances of his death were very strange because although they said it was suicide, the autopsy determined that she had not consumed a sufficient dose to cause death, so it is believed that her death was planned by President Kennedy and according with Marilyn's psychiatrist because she was in love with him (Kennedy) and she did not secret to the people, threatening the stability of his marriage and his reputation.
Since then, this woman was born a third time, and this time, to never die again.
