Personal Narrative: Marilyn Monroe

In a terrible turn of circumstances on the early morning of August 5, 1962, 36-year-old Marilyn died in her sleep at her Brentwood, California home with the phone attached to her hand. Rumors speculate of an overdose or intentionally killing herself. There was also speculation and gossip of having an affair with John F Kennedy and that she was about to go public with what she knew about JFK and Bobbi Kennedy. Also that she was murdered by 'government agents' to safeguard the president. Another conspiracy incident was that Marilyn was killed by the mafia as punishment to the Kennedy's for their attacks on them, and to expose Kennedy's many love affairs. Now with all the aspects of her death, Marilyn had plans to work on new movies and a possible

These titles may sound flattering to some, and maybe at times she enjoyed them. But her restrictive Hollywood image only seemed to add to her insecurity and troubles. The sexual glorification of Monroe stems from the constant exploitation that she has described from her earlier days in the business. While she both despised and played to this, “Marilyn Monroe would resent being typecast as a not-too-smart sex symbol and would fight a very hard but ultimately losing battle to get the public to believe that she was smarter (and less man-hungry) than the women she portrayed on the silver screen” ("Ten Things You Might Not Know About Marilyn Monroe.”). But why did a part of her also accept this? Why did she have this overwhelming need to satisfy the same people who held her down? She feared disappointing the public who put her on this pedestal and seeming imperfect. She was said to wash her face up to 15 times a day in fear of blemishes and sweat ("Marilyn's Beauty and Style."), and at the 1950s Academy Awards, she burst into tears. It seems that she failed to give herself the love and appreciation that she needed. As a result, she mistakenly turned to the camera for

Marilyn Monroe is a well-known legend and has been a public figure for several decades. Monroe was a distinguished model, actress, and singer, who quickly became known as a major sex symbol. Monroe starred in a large number of successful motion pictures during the late 1940s and early 1960s. She began her career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946. Throughout her career, Monroe's films grossed more than $200 million ("Marilyn Monroe Biography," 2013). Marilyn Monroe swiftly became more known to the public for her behavior and outlandish actions; she was eventually diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Remembered as the elegant blond red-lipped bombshell iconic singer, actress and sex symbol of the 1950s. Her talent and legacy is still carried on by her highly legendary pop painting by Andy Warhol and influential flying skirt photos. But some remember her tragic death the most. Her name was Marilyn Monroe. She was only 36 when she was found face down dead in her Los Angeles home on August 5th 1962. The official coronas report stated that Hollywood’s face had gone through a probable suicide by swallowing 40 barbiturates which caused her stomach line to haemorrhage intensely enough that she couldn’t last long enough for the ambulance to arrive. But was this the full story? Multiple voices including Clemens the first police officer in the scene

Marilyn Monroe, whose real name is Norma Jeane Mortenson, was born on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles, California. She was American actress, singer and model. She also was one of the most famous movie star, the sex symbols and pop icons of the 20th century. Despite her an unhappy, difficult childhood she got succeed during her short life period. She worked minor roles for years. Then, she showed her comedy ability, appearance on television and attraction with films. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire, Some Like It Hot and The Seven Year Itch are some examples of these films. Her success and these films provided her to be the most popular film actress in 1950s

When Marilyn Monroe is talked about she is normally talked about negatively. People always talk about how she is a sex symbol. But that is not all she was. she was a lot more than just a sex symbol she went through a lot as a child moving from one house to another. But people nowadays don’t look at that, they don’t see that side of her. It may be because she wanted to forget about all of the things she went through and that may be why she dyed her hair and had plastic surgery so she looked like a pretty star that hasn’t gone through

Only 17 days after her famous “Happy Birthday” performance for John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe was found dead at her home from an overdose of sleeping pills. She was only 36 years old. There is a lot of speculation surrounding the events of her death. Some people think it was a suicide, others prefer not to believe that. There were even conspiracy theories that were triggered by alleged affairs with both John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy.

Her first in a long list of achievements was when she became a very successful pinup girl. After a few years this would eventually lead to Twentieth Century-Fox and Columbia Pictures asking her to star in movies for them. From there she starred in a few minor films. These were the movies that made her a popular actress among different studios and the general public. However when rumors started to float around that she had posed nude in front of cameras before she became an actress the interest level started to rise. Yet strangely enough it did not turn people away instead it drew them in even more than they already were. She starred in everything from comedies to movies that focused on her sex appeal, thus giving her a plethora of movies that she could chose to be in. Although in 1954 she had refused to take a role in one movie and as a result, she had been suspended from Fox Movies for a period of time. However when Marilyn returned, she starred in one of the biggest box office films of her career, The Seven Year Itch. Throughout her entire acting career, she struggled with depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. This ultimately leads to her death on August 5, 1962 at the age of

She has one of the most recognized faces in the world. Over forty years after her death, Marilyn Monroe‘s life and death is still in question. Her trademark platinum hair and beauty mark, her famous skirt-blowing scene, which eventually she became ashamed of because no one could see the woman who was intellectual had feelings and worked hard behind the glitter, the gold and the smiles. Everyone knew this Marilyn Monroe, but did anybody know Norma Jeane Baker? Marilyn Monroe was a Hollywood icon, maybe even a legend, but who was this luminous woman, and was the happy woman that everyone knew capable of killing herself?

     She was pretty all right and graced the covers of thirty-three magazines in 1945. When her husband returned from war in 1946, he found that there was no room for him and his wife divorced him in Reno in June of 1946. That same year she began doing pin-up and cheesecake pictures for covers of magazines. She had a photo session with Andre de Dienes and he asked Norma Jeane to marry him, but she was recently divorced, free, and independent. Nevertheless, he got her on covers of major magazines. Shortly after this, in July 1946, she got a short contract with Twentieth Century-Fox. Then she changed her name to Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn for the musical star Marilyn Miller and Monroe from her mother’s maiden name.

The most widely believed theory of Marilyn Monroe’s death is that she killed herself by overdosing on prescription pills. Eunice Murray, Marilyn’s housekeeper and oldest friend was there the night Monroe died. “Marilyn’s light was on and the telephone cable will still under the door, all signs that she was still awake” (Eunice Murray talks about the day Marilyn Monroe died). During August 5th, 1962, the day Marilyn passed away, Eunice noticed that Monroe was not being her usual happy self. Murray states Monroe had “a lot on her mind” that day and was more down than she’s ever been. Eunice has a theory in which she thinks Marilyn tried to commit another fake suicide but took too many pills and tried to reach the phone; but when she did, it was too late. Norma Jean Baker also known as Marilyn Monroe, had a history of previous suicide attempts. These stunts were for more fame and attention; and

The crime scene and how they found Monroe dead, in her own bed, is an enormous indication of who actually killed her. The Saturday night before she passed away, she did not go out with anyone, “By early next day she would be dead, found nude by her housekeeper, face down on her bed, clutching a telephone receiver, an empty bottle of Nembutal capsules at her side” (“Monroe’s last day”). Her housekeeper, Mrs. Murray, could not open the door so she immediately called Monroe’s psychiatrist, Dr. Greenson, because her light was still on and she was unaware of what was happening at the time. When Dr. Greenson arrived he had to take a poker from the fireplace and smash the window and climb in Monroe 's room. Once Dr. Greenson walked into Marilyn Monroe 's room he found her, “...nude on her bed, face down, with a telephone in one hand” (“Monroe found dead”). She may have just hung up the phone with her doctor saying she wanted to go for a

Marilyn Monroe, for most of America, embodies confidence, sexuality, and talent. She is often referred to as the face of beauty and brains of the 1950’s. However, this rising star was quickly snuffed out, leaving an air of mystery surrounding her. Marilyn Monroe's’ death, legally, was declared a suicide; however, it is obvious through missing evidence, Marilyn herself, and changing witness statements that the only probably clause for her death is murder.
