Marilyn Monroe was an American movie star, model, and pop culture icon whose real name was Norma Jeane Mortenson. She was born on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles and later took the name Norma Jeane Baker. Monroe became famous for her mix of innocence, humour, and glamour, which made her one of the biggest names in Hollywood. She grew up in foster homes and struggled early in life, but her drive helped her rise to stardom. Monroe started modelling before acting and quickly became known for her beauty and charm. She wasn’t just a “blonde bombshell”—she worked hard to learn acting and improve her craft. Even today, she remains one of the most recognised actresses in the world.
