Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jean Mortenson on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles General Hospital. Norma Jean Mortenson), Norma's life is difficult, before she was born, her father bought a motorcycle, and then rode on it, straight north towards San Francisco, this go and never came back, leaving the family with the unborn Norma, but also because of this in her mind the image of her father is forever blurred. As for her mother, Gladys, although she gave birth to her, she gave birth but did not raise her, not only is the relationship between men and women complicated, but also almost even confused about who the father of the child is.
Grace worked as a film editor at the blockbuster studios of the time, but did not do her duty as a mother, and at the age of nine, her mother still could not accept the fact that her father was gone, and was confined to a mental hospital. 1941, the young Norma went to California to "Aunt Anna's" home. A year later, at the age of 16, Norma married James Dougherty, who was four years older than her, and for the first time had a home of her own. It was a loveless marriage, however, and two years later her husband was drafted into the army during World War II, and soon filed for divorce, citing dissatisfaction with Norma's new career, ending the marriage when she was 20 years old. With better looks, Marilyn Monroe modeled swimsuits, and her beautiful silhouette spread around, eventually reaching the hands of a generation of movie moguls Howard Hughes, who asked her to audition for the role, but her agent suggested she choose the more sizeable Twentieth Century Fox.
In 1946, Norma was hired by the big bosses at Twentieth Century Fox, and from then on had the stage name - Marilyn Monroe. Initial work is not smooth, she just run in some films, say a few lines like "Hello!", helpless in order to fifty dollars, Marilyn agreed to take nude photos, just for the car is not pawned, after the fame of this news by the tabloids, in the face of public opinion Marilyn has not denied it, so that she instead of public sympathy. 1950 John boldly opened the door to the public, but the public is not the only one, so that she can get the public to sympathize. In 1950, John was bold enough to cast Marilyn in one or two leading roles in The Asphalt Jungle. Immediately after Marilyn and Betty DeVries and several other big stars shot "Eve's bottom", although the appearance time is very short, but her innocence, so that people listen to the muddy Tao Tao of the dialogue to make a deep impression on people, Fox and other films, such as the end of the film, will sign with her to renew the contract for seven years.
In 1947, Marilyn Monroe made her first movie, "The Shocking Miss Pilgrim," but she was only a small supporting role in the film, and after a few films didn't look good, Fox was reluctant to renew her contract, so she had to go back to modeling, and began taking acting classes. In 1949 she was photographed nude for Playboy magazine, and then took part in Al-lAbout Eve and The Asphalt Jungle. Although she still has a small role, she's starting to get noticed by moviegoers.
As the 1950s progressed, Niagara, Monkey Business, Gentlemen Prefer "Niagara," "Monkey Business," "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," "River Of No Return," "The Seven-en Year Itch," and more. Itch" and "The Sev-en Year", which established her as an on-screen sex goddess. Her on-again, off-again marriages to baseball star Joe DiMaggio and modern-day playwright Arthur Miller, as well as her scandalous relationship with President John F. Kennedy, created a dazzling world of love.
Before '53, Marilyn had been praised by critics, but studios had always stuck her in roles such as "idiot beauty", and in order to get ahead, she took drama classes at the Michael Chekhov Theater and rehearsed classical plays. A reporter recognized Marilyn as the nude model on the "Golden Dreams" monthly sign, and the revelation didn't ruin her career, but rather aroused curiosity among the audience, who paid more attention to her. 1953 marked a turning point in Marilyn's life, when she was cast for the first time as a leading role in Niagara, a film based on the world-famous Great Falls. The movie was set against the backdrop of the world-famous Falls and featured Marilyn's beautiful physique. Since the release of the film, the show was sold out, and she not only became a first-class star, but also became the most remarkable myth single-handedly concocted by Hollywood.
Marilyn married baseball great Joe Di Maggio in 1954, but the giant was so jealous and restrictive that they eventually went their separate ways. Her second marriage lasted only nine months, and her divorce was announced on October 27th, and at a press conference on October 6th, Marilyn's attorney explained the reasons for the divorce with ''career conflicts''.
After playing a number of vase roles in the movies, Marilyn began to pursue a further acting career and to shed her image as a ''shallow blonde''. In 1956, Marilyn began studying under the tutelage of Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio in New York City. That year Marilyn and cinematographer Milton Greene started Marilyn Monroe Films. Two films that demonstrated Marilyn's high level of acting ability were Bus Stop (1956) and The Prince and The Showgirl (1957).
On July 1, 1956, Marilyn married playwright Arthur Miller, whom she had met in 1951 during the filming of The Young and the Restless, and wrote The Misfits in 1961 for Monroe, one of her last completed films. Marilyn's third marriage ended on January 20, 1961 .
Before her marriage, Marilyn's films were sell-outs, especially The Seven Year Itch, in which she stands on a hollowed-out iron plate in a subway entrance, her dress bulging in the wind coming up from below, in what became the most famous shot of her films. But Monroe is not satisfied with the role of the fool beauty, followed by the performance of the "bus station", she put her life experience into the characters, and acting talent reached an unprecedented height, in the film, she appeared in the small bar, there is a glorious, flamboyant, flamboyant feeling.
The Prince and the Dancer with Laurence Olivier in 1957 suffered an unprecedented failure, and after a two-year hiatus, Marilyn was careful to take on The Passion of the Flame, which was so grueling that she suffered two miscarriages, but it was worth it - The Passion of the Flame was her highest-grossing film at the box office. It was worth it, though, as it became her highest-grossing movie at the box office.
In 1960, Marilyn co-starred with Clark Gable in The Man Who Wasn't Meant to Be, and it was not expected that this would be their last film together, as Clark Gable died of a sudden heart attack within days of the shutdown. In November of the same year, she and her husband Arthur Miller officially separated, and the emotional trauma of the separation never subsided. She had a serious nervous breakdown and had to be admitted to a mental hospital for a short period of time. A year later, a glowing Marilyn took over the shooting of the new film "on the verge of collapse", which is the first time since the magazine nude photos, she agreed to shoot nude shots in the film.
On June 1, 1962, she celebrated her thirty-sixth birthday in the studio of the production. To prove that she was as plump and attractive as ever, Marilyn took the last glamorous photographs of her life in front of Burt Stern's camera, slightly covered by a sheer veil. August 4, a weekend Saturday, is the climax of Monroe's tragic life. This morning, people still see her face brightly colored. No one expected that this was the last glow before her death.
1962 Marilyn Monroe in the work and physical condition are not good situation, in order to shoot "double phoenix" (Something's Got to Give) and the film company had a bad time, May 19, she even ignored the work of the invited to sing for President Kennedy "Happy Birthday". On August 5 of this year, she suddenly died, the "double" film was not completed, but left a classic "Happy Birth-day Mr. President" in the world.
In the early morning hours of August 5, 1962, Marilyn's housekeeper found her naked on her bed in her recently purchased home in Los Angeles, California, with the bedroom light still on. Her personal physician concluded that she died at 3:40 a.m. The Los Angeles coroner later said her death was due to "an overdose of acute barbiturate poisoning." A few days before Monroe's death, her doctor had prescribed a potent sleeping pill called barbiturate. This was because prior to this she had been feeling a little stressed and a little distracted by her failure to land a movie role, but she soon returned to normal. Despite her previous attempts to kill herself, there are many contradictions in Marilyn's death that make the suicide story suspect.
The Death of Marilyn Monroe
While hundreds of books on Monroe and Monroe's death exist in the world, the information about her has itself disappeared or been buried with her. And in August 2005, retired Los Angeles medical examiner John Mainer, 86, came to the office of Los Angeles Times reporter Fouger Berkwright. He brought with him tapes that Monroe had given to her psychiatrist, Dr. Greenson, before her death.
Two days after Monroe's death, Greenson handed his friend Miner two tapes that had been sent to him the day before Monroe's death. Miner promised Greenson not to turn them over to the police until 43 years later, when he was in financial trouble and had no choice but to sell the tapes to a journalist. Many dusty stories about Monroe's past are revealed once again.
If we rewind the film to January 1960, we see Monroe's visit to Greenson's office. By that time, Monroe had been through three psychiatrists and was rumored to be "depressed". In fact, Monroe was so delirious that the entire crew had to wait for her to come to her senses. In order not to delay the movie, Ralph Greenson, a psychiatrist with close ties to Hollywood, whose patients included Peter Law (director of NORTHERN AFRICA) and Vivien Leigh, was called in. "This is a woman in a state of extreme panic, a woman who is heavily drugged and medicated and potentially self-destructive." The man says this as he introduces Greenson to his future patient.
Many films of Grinson and Monroe unfolded in this way, most of them revealed through psychological confessions, disjointed, even confusing:A girl abandoned by her mother as a child and her father unknown, displaced from foster home to foster home, sexually abused and molested by her stepfather at an early age; a childhood trauma that left her unable to self-respect as an adult, always fearing abandonment; this 34-year-old woman always in fear of being abandoned; this 34-year-old woman has always considered herself an outcast, trying her best to make herself appealing in public ****ings and completely ignoring herself when she's alone, taking pictures to ward off anxiety but regularly stuttering when facing the movie camera; childhood trauma compounded by the topsy-turvy environment of Hollywood and her way of warding it off was to take 20 barbiturates a day, swallow a lot of tranquilizers, and She was even put in a closed psychiatric ward ......
Grisham tried to cure Monroe with "empathy" therapy, bringing her into his family, making her feel at home, involving her in her work and life, and finding a suitable house for the homeless woman. He has also circled the right house for her, who has no place to live. Just when he thought her condition was about to improve, her life came to an abrupt end.
Though the truth about her death is hidden in the intermittent noir moments in Monroe's Last Years, the Marilyn I saw was dead the moment she stepped foot in Hollywood.
She was molded by Hollywood into a sex icon with a false image, voice, personality, and even walk, an inauthenticity that made it necessary for her to stare into the mirror for hours at a time to distinguish who was in the mirror. If this woman, who lacked love since childhood, hadn't stepped into Hollywood, she might only need a little bit of luck and wisdom like an ordinary woman, to find a man who loves her and can give her stability, to build a family, to have two children, and then she can fill the biggest gap in her heart. But fate has made her step into Hollywood - the empty city that magnifies cruelty, colorful on the outside and full of holes on the inside.
Inside the spotlight, she is the queen of white, outside the spotlight, she was abandoned by her lover, betrayed by her friends, some men left her because she was Monroe, but some left her because she was not "Monroe"; she was divided up by all the people, each of whom intercepted a piece of her body as a swap, and even the body, which was dissected and gutted after death, was also sold at a high price to the public. Even her body, which was dissected and gutted after her death, was sold at a high price to journalists for photographs. She is still beautiful on the funeral, in fact, just a body filled with plastic "rag doll", she fell in the limelight in their last act, perhaps only this most thorough farewell, can Monroe back to her own.
This is a book of some pathos and even cruelty, because it reveals too much truth, but also a precious book, because it gives Monroe back the truth that she did not get during her lifetime.
Marilyn Monroe had a miserable life, her mother was once raped at the age of 16. And when Monroe became a sex goddess after struggling, she started the trend, Monroe died young, in life she was depressed, she said this, "Some people are very unkind, if I say I want to grow as an actress, some people will scrutinize my body, if I say I want to improve, to learn to improve my acting skills, they will laugh out loud, and they actually do not think I will be serious about my own acting seriously." It has been said that this may be the price of fame and fortune; it is wonderful, but it also brings regrets from which no one who is y involved can escape. Later generations from Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa to Madonna to Angelina Jolie have imitated Monroe's proud look, they also became famous, but also deep in fame, because no one read Monroe's words properly, imitating a person, read through a person, you will find her failures, and then surpassed the predecessor.
The innocent sex goddess
There are very few people who may not have heard of her and seen her on TV and in movies. Recognized as a "sex goddess", she is still being talked about and has not been surpassed.
Looking at her photos, she has always felt like a childlike innocence amidst the sexiness of her smoky eyes and half-opened lips.
As an adopted daughter, she married her neighbor when she was less than 16 years old so that she wouldn't have to move again. She went on to become synonymous with "sexy" through her nude magazine shoots.
But sexiness comes at a price. In order to emphasize her waspish waist and remove a few ribs, in order to make her sparse teeth beautiful and neat, the spots on her face were lightened... The directors were willing to let the camera follow her back to give a few minutes of close-ups of her "Monroe Gait", but were reluctant to give her a chance to make her look good. Directors were willing to let the camera behind her give her a few minutes of close-ups of her "Monroe gait", but they begrudged her the chance to grow as an actress. In their minds, it was enough for her to flaunt her head in front of the camera, so why take the risk, and who would want to watch her act? After her death, one of her ex-husbands has said that it was Hollywood that did Monroe in.
She had two idols: Abraham Lincoln and Clark Gable, but her ex-husband, Arthur Miller, made her final script, the misfits, but it killed Clark Gable (who died of a heart attack just after rehearsing his performance without a stunt double).
The most memorable part of the story is that she married the baseball star, DiMaggio, and went to Japan with him. After that, she went to Japan with her husband, and when Mark Arthur, who was fighting in Korea at the time, heard about it, he invited her to give a sympathy performance in Korea, and she gladly accepted the invitation, and performed for the soldiers in the freezing weather at minus several dozens of degrees Celsius in a straitjacket that was almost as good as none at all, and then came back to Japan and had a high fever. An admirable actress! (And then think of certain stars now, not to mention. I certainly know who the US was fighting at the time, I was just moved by her dedication and patriotism.)
As for her work more famous is the sevenm year itch,some like it hot, gentlemen prefer blondes, how to marry a millionaire ,the prince and the showgirl. The shot of her laughing and covering her fluttering skirt at the subway entrance has been copied and reproduced in various forms in later movies and TV, but personally I don't think there's much more to the movie than that shot, except for her head-scratching.
Her death, and her relationship with the two Kennedy brothers, has become a difficult mystery, with many different opinions.
