Speaking of Hollywood stars, it must be more than american political celebrities, whether it is popularity, influence, or appearance, in the ranking of Hollywood history, there is always a woman at the top, and even in many ways are ranked first, she is Marilyn Monroe.
Among the top 100 celebrities in Hollywood, Hepburn became a princess, Grace Kelly became a princess, and only Marilyn Monroe walked the most miserable, at the age of 36.
To this day, Marilyn still appears regularly in television commercials
Cosmetics, perfumes, luxury shoes and garden umbrellas – her image is everywhere! Not long ago, Dior also restored a portrait of Monroe and did brand promotion with Charlize Theron
1) For her, making a movie like "Passion like Fire" is a torture.
Although "Passion like Fire" was nominated for multiple Oscars and Monroe won the Oscar for Best Actress in a Musical, the film did not go well when it was filmed. Marilyn and filmmaker Billy Wilder are old acquaintances, but Monroe is notoriously difficult to get along with. She couldn't learn the lines and kept asking for dozens of remakes (when she was still a film machine). Monroe even deliberately destroyed some scenes.
And there are many large-scale and passionate kissing scenes in the film, in the kissing scene with Tony Curtis, the male protagonist Tony Curtis bluntly said that he had never seen such a tough actress, and said that he would rather kiss Hitler than Monroe. And this photo is exactly the tidbit photo of the film when it was filmed that year.
2. The ex-boyfriend who broke the thread
Marilyn and her ex-husband, Joe DiMaggio, ended their nine-month marriage in 1954 and have been very close since the divorce, and the two have been dating regularly!
This photo is of Monroe dating DiMaggio a year after she broke up with DiMaggio. While the divorced couple rested at the beach hut, Joe Dimaggio pretended to stick his tongue out to the photographer.
PS: At that time, the small fat flesh of Marilyn Monroe's abdomen was also very obvious
3. Rumors of the President of the United States
In the United States, it has been rumored that Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedy brothers had an affair, especially the videotape of Monroe and Kennedy has been illegally auctioned.
In fact, it is not only Kennedy who has illusions about Monroe, but ALSO US President Ronald Reagan has mentioned Marilyn Monroe many times in his speeches! At a 1986 White House briefing, President Reagan relayed the story of Monroe.
Reagan once said in a speech: Last night I told a group of people that it was a bit like Marilyn Monroe, when she met Einstein. Marilyn grabbed his arm and said, "Let's get married." Einstein looked at her and replied, "But, my dear," what if our child had my looks and your brain? Subsequently, many speech reports also posted pictures of Marilyn Monroe laughing, laughing very frankly. But because of the excessive indulgence of laughter, many netizens believe that this is Monroe's ugly side!
4. Fake Marilyn Monroe
Someone imitated her face, someone imitated her face! Throughout Marilyn's career, there have been rumors that she started her career as a stripper, which she has always denied.
The truth, however, is that there is another young woman in Hollywood, Dixie Evans, who looks a lot like Monroe. She is a stripper at the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles, often mistaken for a Monroe lady, so she also dressed up as Marilyn Monroe many times, and made "deals" with many of the upper American rich, especially the one in the picture
5. Dissatisfaction with classic styling
In 1953, Marilyn was already famous in Hollywood, and in 1954, Marilyn Monroe's classic blonde image caused a sensation, but Marilyn Monroe did not like this look at the time, and even rejected the movie arranged by Fox, which led to Marilyn being suspended for nearly a year and almost banned by Fox.
6, Monroe is very popular among American soldiers
Marilyn also has a very strange eating habit! But she says it works well for her to stay in shape.
Habit 1: Be sure to drink a glass of hot milk before bathing
Habit two: Break two raw eggs in milk, crush them with a fork, and drink them while dressing.
Monroe maintained a unique beauty, not only singing for the president, but also paying tribute to American soldiers. In 1954, Marilyn Monroe flew to South Korea for a 4-day labor activity, and the picture showed a photo of Marilyn Monroe and soldiers stationed in Korea, becoming the "sweetheart goddess" of 100,000 American troops, and the entire U.S. Third Infantry Division fell into madness
7. Take the subway
In Hollywood movies, top celebrities like Monroe will stay in Beverly Hills in classic cars and American muscle cars, but this is not the case in reality. In March 1955, Marilyn had just ended a contract battle with Fox, and unlike many stars like her, she was paid much less and had very little freedom.
8, Marilyn Monroe's rare true portrayal at home
Since the 1950s, Marilyn's magazine covers and billboards have spread around the world, and she always wears gorgeous costumes and paints delicate makeup in magazines. But Marilyn Monroe also documented this true side at home, standing barefoot in plaid pants and a loose sweatshirt.
9. Incense is destroyed by jade damage
In 1956, Marilyn decided to try to get married again and married the intellectual playwright Arthur Miller. At that time, the European and American media even ridiculed the couple as "nerds married hourglasses".
In the photo, a group photo of the two people when they were just married and boarded the plane looked very happy, but Marilyn Monroe miscarried many times after marriage. Later, during the filming of "The Prince and the Showgirl", Monroe had several disputes with her partner, Laurence Olivier, which led to more and more serious suction and a plummeting appearance.
10. Marilyn Monroe when she first debuted
All of Marilyn's hit photos show her representative red pout and curly-haired beauty moles. However, as a model, she did not start with this look.
In this photo, she and comedy star Groucho Marx were filmed on Love Happy. This year, Marilyn Monroe was still a small supporting role, and she continued to smile with the director and producer, until the next year, after she signed a contract with Fox, her career really began to take off.
11. Born as a migrant worker
Before becoming famous, Norma Joan (Marilyn Monroe's real name) worked in a factory in 1944. When photographer David Cornover was sent to take pictures of women working in the factory, Monroe began modeling for him. However, Monroe went against the wishes of her husband and in-laws and has been secretly working as a model.
After signing a contract with the Blue Book model agency, Norma Joan appeared frequently in such advertisements from 1945. Soon after, she dyed her hair blonde and began wearing a wig.
12. Force a smile
When Marilyn became pregnant in 1957, it was her second pregnancy with her husband, Arthur Miller, just weeks before her first miscarriage! The couple was happy when she found out she was pregnant for the second time.
When she was rushed to the hospital in severe pain, she learned that she was ectopic and had to undergo surgery again. In the photo, Monroe's face is full of cosmetics, which is the picture of her just finishing surgery, and she forced a smile in front of the media
13. Extramarital affairs
Let's Make Love was Marilyn's last film released in 1960. The film received poor response, with Marilyn co-starring with French actor Yves Montad. Inside and outside the play, the couple began a whirlwind affair, according to Hollywood media reports, this affair caused Marilyn Monroe to become pregnant again!
In this photo, Marilyn stands smiling as director George Kukol ties the necklace around her neck. According to Freda Hull, a friend and neighbor of Marilyn, Monroe miscarried on the set of her last film, The Miffits. But there are also sources that point out that this is a media farce, a promotional hype of the studio.
14, Monroe pays great attention to detail
Although Marilyn is often portrayed as a victim of Hollywood's paper drunks, that's only part of the story. And the reality is that Monroe is not only a petite blonde, but also a shrewd businesswoman who has carefully shaped her image.
This photograph was taken in 1955, Monroe's figure is not perfect, and many previous photos have exposed Monroe's figure. Just as she attended a charity event in Madison Square Garden, Monroe had to put on a corset of nearly 10 sizes small and strangle herself to catch her breath
15, poor origin
For the innocent Norma Joan, the 1940s were a turbulent history. Her guardians, Grace and Dr. Goddard, are preparing to move to West Virginia because she is still a teenager, and Marilyn does not return to the orphanage, but instead marries her next-door neighbor, James Doherty, somewhat similar to the "child bride."
She dropped out of high school, determined to become a housewife, and went to the factory to work as a screwdriver. This photograph was taken in 1943, holding hands with her husband and a friend.
16, Marilyn Monroe's romantic male girlfriend
Frank Sinatra married actress Eva Gardner in 1954, but by 1961 he and Marilyn had a months-long relationship, and Monroe became a third party to someone else's marriage.
According to Frank's close friend Jilly Rizzo, Frank proposed to Marilyn Monroe. Because Marilyn Monroe was mentally ill at the time and continued to smoke D, Frank hoped to protect her. But Marilyn refused, dying soon after, while ex-husband Joe DiMaggio refused Frank to attend her funeral.
17. Monroe's collapse after divorce
In the eyes of the Hollywood Reporter, marilyn Monroe's photos of her downfall are often more valuable than photos of her scenery!
And the photo was taken by Marilyn as she left the press conference, after announcing her divorce from her husband, Joe Dimaggio.
Before Marilyn appeared, Dimaggio also left in tears. It is reported that Marilyn was on her way to shoot "The Seven Year Itch", and this movie describing "cheating" became a Hollywood classic, but it was also a true portrayal of Marilyn Monroe
18, Monroe's escape
Like many celebrities, Marilyn has been living in the spotlight since she came out of the factory, and she also likes to be chased by reporters, but there is one situation she does not like to see reporters, and that is when she comes out of the hospital.
In 1954 Marilyn Monroe came out of the hospital after a miscarriage, her hair disheveled and makeupless, and she was trying to hide her face behind a leather coat so that no onlookers could see.
19. Marilyn Monroe's legacy
As mentioned earlier, Monroe's income was not much, and Marilyn Monroe left the most valuable part of her property (a total of $1.6 million) to her teacher, Lee Strasberg. To be precise, it was Lee's second wife Anna who inherited Marilyn Monroe's inheritance, a woman who had nothing to do with Monroe, and this woman auctioned off almost all of Monroe's relics.
Marilyn also left part of her possessions to her psychotherapist, Marianne Chris. Chris was more generous than Anna, donating marilyn Monroe's legacy to charity.
Monroe's relics were auctioned off, including the dress worn by Marilyn Monroe, which was given to her in the case of John F. Kennedy. A silver dress worn by President F. Kennedy at his birthday party, which sold for $4.8 million at auction.
20 Monroe is an inspirational representative of class change in North America
Despite the painful struggles of life marilyn behind the scenes, she remains one of the most inspiring Hollywood movie stars of all time. In the 1955 photo, after Monroe and Fox's contract dispute was resolved, when she gazed down from the roof of a building in New York City, Monroe pondered for a long time, if not changed, she may not come to New York, and may still be a working girl. Although she achieved a class leap, she lost her reputation in the chaotic entertainment industry in North America.
Marilyn Monroe's acting career is not much, compared to her legendary story more attention, in the media, film, advertising innovation era, people for the first time to see a woman can live so wonderful.
