Marilyn Monroe citations
Page 5

Marilyn Monroe, née Norma Jeane Mortenson le 1er juin 1926 à Los Angeles où elle est morte le 5 août 1962, est une actrice et chanteuse américaine.

Elle se destine initialement au mannequinat avant d'être repérée par Ben Lyon et de signer son premier contrat avec la 20th Century Fox en août 1946. Au début des années 1950, elle accède au statut de star hollywoodienne et à celui de sex-symbol. Ses grands succès incluent Les hommes préfèrent les blondes, Sept ans de réflexion ou encore Certains l'aiment chaud qui lui vaut le Golden Globe de la meilleure actrice dans une comédie en 1960.

En dépit de son immense notoriété, sa vie privée est un échec et sa carrière la laisse insatisfaite. Les causes de sa mort demeurent l'objet de vives spéculations , contribuant à son statut d'icône culturelle.
