"Несовершенство красиво, безумие гениально и лучше быть абсолютно смешной, чем абсолютно скучной." Мэрилин Монро

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they"re right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together." Marilyn Monroe
"Я верю, что все происходит по некоторой причине. Люди меняются; так вы можете научиться отпускать. Дела идут неправильно; так вы цените их, когда они в порядке. Вы верите лжи; так вы, наконец, учитесь не доверять никому, кроме себя. И иногда хорошие вещи разваливаются; так лучшие вещи сочетаются вместе." Мэрилин Монро

"I"m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can"t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don"t deserve me at my best." Marilyn Monroe
"Я эгоистична, нетерпелива и немного неуверенная. Я делаю ошибки, я неподконтрольна и порой со мною трудно справиться. Но если вы не можете справиться со мной в моем худшем состоянии, то будьте вы уверены, что не заслуживаете меня, когда у меня все отлично." Мэрилин Монро

"Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn"t that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you." Marilyn Monroe

"It"s often just enough to be with someone. I don"t need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You"re not alone." Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe (01.06.1926 - 05.08.1962) - American actress.
Marilyn Monroe (real name Norma Jeane Mortenson ) was an American actress, who became an idol for millions of people. She was considered to be the major sex symbol of the 20th century. Apart from being an actress, she was a singer and a model. She was born on June 1st, 1926, in Los Angeles. She was the third child of a film installer Gladys Baker. Her biological father was unknown. When she was six months old, she was baptized and named after her mother Baker instead of Mortenson. Norma’s mother had a number of financial and mental problems. That’s why the girl spent most of her childhood in foster families and orphanages. For some time she lived with the neighboring family of Della Monroe.
Her tough childhood helped her to mature quickly and to take independent decisions. One of her adolescent decisions was to marry James Edward Doherty. She met him, while studying at high school. She was only 16, when she left the school and started living with this guy. After their wedding James got a job in the merchant navy, while she went to work at the aircraft factory. She met a prominent photographer there, who offered her to become a model. Soon she began to gain popularity and worldwide fame as a sex symbol. The image of sexy blonde as well as her new name was made up by a 53-year-old film agent John Hyde. He also persuaded her to make a few small cosmetic surgeries.
However, the main thing that he did for Marilyn was the arrangement of the contract with “20th Century Fox”. At first she went there to work at the statistics department, but a year and a half later everyone in the USA knew her name. By that time Hyde already died of a heart attack. She was doing her own steps in cinematography. Her first major role was in “Ladies of the Chorus” (1948). Two years later two more successful films were shot: “All about Eve” and “The Asphalt Jungle”. Her roles weren’t highly paid at first. But starting with “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”(1953) her fee had grown to thousands of dollars. Soon Marilyn got divorced and fell in love with a famous baseball player Joe DiMaggio. They got married in 1954, but this marriage didn’t last a year.
Her next husband was a famous playwright Henry Miller, who became a father, a friend, a guardian and a psychoanalyst for her. However, soon she started an affair with the French actor Yves Montand, which lasted only for a couple of months. But for Miller this was a solid reason for the divorce. After this divorce she was highly depressed and once again she began to seek salvation dating other men. The list of her lovers included Frank Sinatra, Henry Rosenfeld, Charlie Chaplin Jr., etc. At some point Peter Lawford introduced her to the Kennedy family. She fell in love with John Kennedy, who wasn’t the president of the country yet. Their relationship remained a secret for a long time. Life of a great actress and the sexiest woman of the 20th century was a short one. She died on August 5th, 1962, in her home. Her lifeless body was found near the bed in the morning.

Краткая биография Мерлин Монро на английском
She was born on 1 June 1926 in the Los Angeles County Hospital, the third child of Gladys Baker. She lived with a number of foster parents, as her mother was mentally unstable, until her mother’s best friend Grace McKee became her guardian.
McKee was inspired by Jean Harlow and allowed the nine-year-old Norma to wear makeup and curl her hair, until McKee married and sent Norma Jean to an orphanage.
The young girl was then sent to live with her great aunt Olive Brunings, where it is thought she was sexually assaulted by Olive’s son. At 16, she escaped her old life by marrying a 21-year-old aircraft plant worker, Jim Dougherty. The couple divorced four years later. By this time she had begun modelling bathing suits and, after bleaching her hair blonde, was posing for pin-ups and glamour photos.
Howard Hughes tried to get her a screen test but was beaten to the punch by 20th Century-Fox, who signed her to a contract — at $125 per week for six months — and changed her name to Marilyn Monroe.
After appearing in small parts in films including ‘Love Happy’ and ‘All About Eve’, Monroe found fame in 1953 with ‘Niagara’, ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’ and ‘How To Marry a Millionaire’. That same year, she began dating baseball player Jo DiMaggio, and a nude spread of her appeared in the debut issue of Playboy magazine. Monroe had hit stardom. The nude spread caused a scandal with her studio, so she agreed to admit she had posed for the photo as she was struggling to pay her rent. The resulting publicity created some sympathy for the struggling actress.
In 1954, she eloped with DiMaggio — a union which was only to last eight months — before filming ‘There’s No Business Like Show Business’ and ‘The Seven-Year Itch’, the latter featuring the classic scene in which she stood over a subway grating, skirt billowing. She applied for divorce from DiMaggio on the grounds of mental cruelty. Despite this, he secured her release from the Payne Whitney Psychiatric Mental Clinic in 1961.
Monroe’s work began to slow down, but critics praised her acting in 1956 film ‘Bus Stop’. She married playwright Arthur Miller the same year, divorcing him four years later. In the meantime, she fell prey to alcohol and pills, and suffered two miscarriages.
After a year off in 1958, Marilyn returned to the silver screen for smash comedy ‘Some Like It Hot’. In 1960, she appeared in ‘Let’s Make Love’, with Yves Montand, with whom she had an affair.
‘The Misfits’, written by husband Miller, was to be her final film. Work was interrupted by exhaustion, and she was then fired from ‘Something’s Got to Give’ for not turning up for filming.
On 19 May 1962, the actress attended the early birthday celebration of John F Kennedy at Madison Square Gardens, singing ‘Happy Birthday Mr President’ in a performance that became legendary.
She went into seclusion and on 5 August 1962, she was found dead at her home of an overdose of sleeping pills, aged 36. The verdict was suicide but has always been disputed, with countless conspiracy theories triggered by alleged affairs with brothers John F and Robert Kennedy.
Monroe has been portrayed by a number of actresses over the years, including Michelle Williams in 2011’s ‘My Week With Marilyn’.
