We took some rarely seen images out of the trunk but they sum up very well the life of Marilyn Monroe, the Hollywood muse.
Marilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926-August 4, 1962) is one of the great icons in the history of cinema. Few people can better embody the dream of becoming one of the brightest stars, but also one of the broken dreams precisely because of becoming such a well-known face on a planetary level.
Norma Jeane Baker was born in 1926 in Los Angeles. She seemed predestined to succeed in Hollywood from the beginning, although her first years were already eventful, being born into a family in which her father abandoned her mother while she was pregnant. Her mother named her Norma because her favorite actress was Norma Talmadge, one of the great Hollywood stars of the silent film era. Everything continued to point to her future in the mecca of cinema. But she started as a model, given the attractive image that she had of herself and that she fell in love with the camera. In the mid-1940s she began in the cinema, at first with small roles, until in 1953 she established herself with her role in Niagara. From there, her rise to stardom was meteoric. Her personal life was also a roller coaster, with several failed marriages and wear and tear that she began to notice in her late 50s, when she began to suffer from various health problems.
Everyone knows the rumors of Marilyn Monroe's love affair with her with the Kennedy brothers, her volcanic personality and the attraction that producers, directors and colleagues felt for her. The point is that the life of Marilyn, or rather Norma Jeane, was twisting in such a way that she ended up dying in 1962 at just 36 years old due to an overdose of barbiturates. She thus cut short with the mystery of her death the life of one of the most adored actresses in cinema, who nevertheless had a very short career. Enough to leave an everlasting mark on popular culture and on the minds of all her fans, who many decades later continue to remember the most impressive blonde actress of all time. Marilyn was an inveterate reader who read Alberti and Lorca, with many different faces and a contagious vitality that, however, ended up being defeated by her fame and by the pressure of a world that often punishes the most gifted for the simple fact of being yes, talented people. This is precisely the starting point of the upcoming Netflix movie, Blonde.
