Marilyn Monroe, a famous American movie star in the 1950s, was once the goddess in the minds of men around the world. However, who would have thought that her surface was full of colors, and her heart was indescribably lonely. She lived her life with loneliness, living and dying for loneliness.
<h1 class="pgc-h-center-line" data-track="4" > childhood loneliness without fatherhood and lack of maternal love</h1>
Marilyn Monroe, formerly known as Norma Jenny Mortison, was born on June 1, 1926, at Los Angeles General Hospital. Her mother, Grantis Barker Motosen, was a film editor with severe schizophrenia. Never in Monroe's memory has her mother hugged her or kissed her.
Monroe knew her father's name, which she knew from her birth certificate. Her father's name was Edward Mortison, but Monroe had never seen him. When Grantis was pregnant with Monroe, he left home and disappeared. Monroe suspected that her father's name on her birth certificate was fake, and even her mother couldn't be sure who she was pregnant with. Monroe later recalled: "My father ran away without a trace before he met me, what else could I expect from those strange men?" ”
12 days after Meng lu was born, he was sent to foster care by his mother. Monroe said, "My mother never wanted me. Every day I was expecting her to want me. If I could do that, my whole life would be different. When I was seven, she was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and sent to a mental hospital, where she spent most of her life. ”
Monroe's childhood is lamentable. She has no father's love, and when her mother is conscious, she will make Monroe feel a little warmth of maternal love. She has lived in foster or adopted 12 families and spent 21 months in an orphanage.
On Christmas Day 1935, 9-year-old Monroe spent her first Christmas at the orphanage. All the other children in the orphanage received gifts from relatives, and she also received a postcard signed "Mom and Dad." But no one knows that this postcard was bought by Monroe herself, wrote "Mom and Dad", and then sent it to herself from outside. The money to buy postcards was the money she had saved from washing the dishes of 100 children in the kitchen every Sunday.
In the imprisoned days under the fence, she always felt lonely. The only thing that made her happy was watching the movie, which made her completely forget herself. When she returned home from watching the movie, she closed the bedroom door and silently performed it again according to the plot she saw on the screen. She said: "For a 12-year-old, it's a very serious pantomime. I'm fascinated by every movie star, but it's Clark Gable who really excites me. ”
Clark Gable was a famous American film actor from the 1930s to the 1950s, starring in many films such as "Gone with the Wind" and "Teacher's Love", and was one of the top ten highest-grossing film actors in Hollywood, and one of the 100 sexiest movie stars in the history of American cinema.
In Monroe's lonely heart, she longed to be loved by someone like Clark Gable. She imagined that she would one day shine on the screen, too.

Monroe's three marriages ended in divorce.
In June 1942, Monroe, who had just celebrated her 15th birthday, was persuaded by her aunt Grace to terminate her junior high school studies and marry Jim Durdi, who was much older than her, whom she knew. The two have no feelings and can not talk to each other all day. Jim goes to work in the field and rarely comes home. Monroe works in a model airplane factory and does not see her husband after work. Later, she was favored by a military photographer and became a model. Jim was furious when he learned of this, telling her that career and marriage could only choose one. Monroe chose a career. This bland marriage lasted only 4 years.
In November 1953, while Monroe's comedy "How to Marry a Millionaire" was released, she met Di Macho, the most famous Baseball star in the United States. Di Macho is recognized as baseball's best all-rounder ever, the greatest of the baseball players.
On January 14, 1954, Di Marjo and Monroe registered their marriage at San Francisco City Hall. However, just 274 days later, the celebrity couple divorced .
As Monroe's second husband, DiMaggio rarely communicated with his wife, spending almost all of his time watching sports at home. Monroe said: "I feel that even when they are sleeping or unconscious, people need human warmth... I think the TV should be removed from the bedroom. ”
The biggest reason for their divorce was Di Majo's objection to Monroe appearing on the screen as sexy. In September 1954, Monroe starred in "The Seven Year Itch", with a shot wearing a white skirt and the skirt angle flying up. This shot became an eternal classic in the history of cinema, and at the same time brought her marriage to Di Majo to an end.
However, DiMaggio did not forget Monroe. After Monroe's death, DiMaggio was the only ex-husband to attend Monroe's funeral, and for the next 20 years, he insisted on laying flowers every Wednesday at Monroe's cemetery, and he never remarried.
Monroe's third husband was the famous Hollywood playwright Arthur Miller. Arthur Miller, along with Eugene O'Neill and Tennessee Williams, is known as the Three Great American Theaters of the 20th Century. His major works include the plays "Death of a Salesman" and "The Witch of Salem".
On July 1, 1956, Arthur Miller married Marilyn Monroe. At the beginning of the marriage, Miller, as a literati, treated Monroe very kindly. Carrying his wife's bag, he followed Monroe like a horse boy, filming, traveling, and attending various events. Monroe was touched by Miller's performance, her lonely heart was infused with warmth, and she enjoyed the sweetness of being loved.
However, just as Miller ignored Monroe's inner loneliness, Monroe also ignored Miller's famous playwright. Miller could not have followed his wife all day as an entourage, thus abandoning his writing career. And so, gradually, Miller resumed his days with a pen, a cigarette, and a desk; Monroe returned to the days of "always lonely." Five years later, on January 20, 1961, their marriage came to an end.
During her marriage to Monroe, Miller wrote the screenplay for her, The Out of Place.
This love movie was released in 1961, the female protagonist is Monroe, the male protagonist is Monroe's dream girl Clark Gable.

After Monroe became a swimsuit model, she began to make a name for herself. On July 17, 1946, Monroe, who was not only sexy, but also had a mysterious temperament, was signed by 20th Century Fox Pictures. Since then, with the stage name Marilyn Monroe, her original Norma name has never been mentioned again.
Monroe, who just entered Hollywood, only starred in some small roles, and in order to make a living, she also consciously or unconsciously used the rules of the game. She said: "I was young, blonde and beautiful, and I learned to speak in a hoarse voice like Marlene Dietrich, walking and swaying, ready to fill my eyes with tenderness. ”
In 1953, Monroe's performance in the film "Flying Waterfall" was widely praised. She finally had a turning point in her career.
Subsequently, the movie "Niagara" starring her was full after the release of the scene, making her a first-class star. She has participated in many movies, such as "Bus Stop", "Dragon Play Phoenix", "Passion Like Fire", "Random Mandarin Duck Score", etc., which have pushed her to the throne of Hollywood goddesses.
Monroe's acting career reached its peak, and she was noticed by men all over the world. In September 1959, Soviet leader Khrushchev visited the United States, and instead of the White House hosting a state dinner for him, he offered to have dinner with Monroe. The Americans had to agree to let Hollywood hold a strange banquet in the name of Monroe. At the banquet, Monroe said only one word to Khrushchev: "You are so interesting. ”
However, behind Monroe's infinite scenery, she still can't hide her extreme loneliness.
Monroe had starred in the film Comet Beauty, and the director of the film, Joseph Mankiewicz, was impressed by her. Joseph said Monroe was "the loneliest, loneliest person he knew." The girl suffers from loneliness, but she is reluctant to fit in with the crowd and always looks like she wants to run away alone. She doesn't make friends and isn't sociable. While we were on set, she was hiding in her hotel room. ”
Monroe herself said, "Sometimes, I go to a party and no one talks to me all night." This loneliness of hers is like staying " in a room with 40 empty rooms, magnifying the loneliness 40 times over. ”
Monroe suffers from severe anxiety caused by loneliness, and to ward off anxiety, she drinks heavily and eats sedatives. She has no girlfriends, only men who would rather spend $5,000 on a kiss than spend 50 seconds getting to know her soul.
Sunday is Monroe's hardest time, and she will walk aimlessly down the street alone. From the endless stream of people, she "found that beautiful wives were deeply in love with ordinary men, and handsome men were deeply in love with ordinary wives." At this time, she will involuntarily gush out helpless cry from the bottom of her heart: "Loneliness! I was lonely. I always feel lonely no matter what! ”
Monroe's last film was On the Verge of Collapse. On June 1, 1962, her birthday, she was on the set for the last time. Then, attended a charity event, which was her last public appearance.
On the night of August 4, Monroe mysteriously died in her bedroom at the age of 36 in her brant Ward apartment in Los Angeles, USA. The next day, news of Monroe's death spread around the world. The real cause of her death remains a mystery to this day.
From 1950 to 1961, Monroe's films were screened in 23 films, grossing about $200 million at the box office. She created the Hollywood screen myth and legend. Monroe was once the darling of an era and a victim of all the desires of that era. Her beauty and her life are like a dream, and there is no full life force in it.
She has been playing Marilyn Monroe all her life, and she wants to get more people's sincere love, but in the end she has to leave alone. Monroe once wrote in her diary: "Help, help, I feel that life is approaching, when I want to do everything, is to die." For Monroe, from the beginning of her life to the end of her life, her only companion was her loneliness.
