Marilyn Monroe needs no introduction, she is one of the best-known seventh art icons of all time.
Norma Jean Mortenson, the name with which she was born, became a legend after her tragic death on August 5, 1962. She was considered a pop icon. She was one of the most remembered stars of the golden age of Hollywood, thanks to films like 'With Skirts and Crazy', 'The Prince and the Showgirl' or 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'. Although many say that her status as an actress was elevated after her death, the reality is that Monroe was already one of the most persecuted actresses in the public eye and with great pressure at her feet.
The actress of 'Eva' is a great example of how she ends up being a victim of both fame and Hollywood. Despite this fragile personality, the reality is that the actress knew what the public was asking for and how she should get used to it. Her life was greatly influenced by the spotlight and also by personalities as important as President John F. Kennedy himself and his brother, Bobby. Little by little, she was creating a woman with serious psychological problems and addictions to both alcohol and medications. Her fame preceded her but there were not a few directors who refused to work with her. A woman who ended up succumbing to the sad fate of the victims of Hollywood.
In 2006 there were several teenage queens who had a very different end than many expected of them. One of these actresses was Amanda Bynes. The young woman made films like 'She's the boy' or 'Hairspray', where she managed to have a fairly important legion of fans. On television, she also had her own program called 'El show de Amanda', where she served as presenter for 40 episodes. Bynes's last film was 'Hearsay and Lies' where she played the role of Marianne Bryant. On television she could be seen in 'Canned', although the decline of the actress has already begun.
In 2012 the problems began for the young woman who was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs. At the end of the year she managed to reach an agreement with the victims. The pressure of being a teenage queen took its toll on her, and arrests for both drug and alcohol use were soon on the rise. In addition, in 2013 it was decided to perform a mental evaluation on the actress. As it was revealed later, Bynes suffers from quite serious psychiatric problems and since then she has been marked by controversy. In 2014 she was in Pasadena temporarily admitted to psychiatry, after accusing her father through Twitter of having abused her when she was little. A broken toy of industry.
No one can forget the legendary Marissa Cooper from 'The O.C.' and the star who embodied her: Mischa Barton. The British actress has had an important journey throughout her career, since she started at a very young age in the artistic universe. In 1997 she performed her first leading role in the film 'Rebellious Innocence'. We would also see her at the end of the 90s with two films that marked this era: 'Notting Hil' and 'The Sixth Sense'. After the success that she achieved season after season in 'The O.C.', the actress began her artistic descent.
In 2007 the first controversies began in which alcohol and the consumption of medicines took a presence in her life. There were many times that she was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and without a license, in addition to having illegal substances such as marijuana in her possession. In 2009, she spent two weeks in the psychiatric unit at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Fame and the industry managed to destabilize Barton, who ultimately failed to handle the situation. Despite this and endless controversy, the actress has managed to rise from her ashes and is currently trying to return to the big screen.
