In 1962, at 4:25 a.m. on August 5, the Los Angeles police received a phone call.
Say: Marilyn Monroe died at her home in Los Angeles.
Monroe, who was found dead, was naked and reached out with one hand to try to get the phone.
You can't imagine that this is the radiant Monroe, who was only 36 years old this year!
After a series of investigations and autopsies, the official result was that Marilyn Monroe committed suicide.
Although this statement is not convincing to everyone, it must be accepted that a generation of goddesses has since died.
Monroe was then buried in Los Angeles, and there was not a single word on her tombstone, only her name, the time of birth and the time of death, especially like Wu Zetian's wordless stele.
The evaluation and legend of Monroe have never stopped disappearing.
On June 1, 1926, a girl was born in a hospital in Los Angeles named Norma Jane, who became Marilyn Monroe.
Shortly after she was born, her mother was sent to a mental hospital because she was mentally stimulated. Throughout her childhood, Marilyn Monroe was placed in foster care in 11 families and spent some time in an orphanage.
"My Story" is an oral transcript of Marilyn Monroe, in which she tells the story of one thing, "After the age of 8, she was sexually assaulted twice, her adoptive father and cousin. ”
In order to get rid of this turbulent and displaced life as soon as possible and have her own home, at the age of 16, with the help of her adoptive mother, Monroe married Jim, who was 5 years older than herself.
Jim is a prominent figure in the school, the striker of the school football team, the president of the student council, and the main actor in the school drama performance. In the eyes of the public, the school flower is married to the school's sports star, which seems to be a good match.
Two years after their marriage, Jim followed the troops somewhere else, and Monroe had to move in with her in-laws.
At that time, Monroe found a job as an assembly line female worker, and this job opportunity allowed monroe, who was born beautiful, to be discovered by a photographer and become a model.
But neither her mother-in-law nor her husband agreed to her job, and her marriage rifted over the affair and eventually divorced.
After the divorce, Monroe officially entered the film and television circle, but her acting career was not very smooth.
In 1946, Monroe signed a contract with Fox, and after signing the contract, she entered a practice group with 80 trainees who signed with her, and monroe was eliminated a year later.
But Monroe did not give up, she regrouped, in 1949, participated in the filming of the film "The Night Is Not Quiet". In 1950, he starred in "Fireball" and "Comet Beauty".
In 1952, Monroe became the heroine of "How to Marry a Millionaire" and "No Knock", and debuted in Life magazine as a cover character.
In 1953, filming began on "Flying Waterfall", and in this movie, the famous Monroe gait was born. Overnight, men all over the country began to fascinate this woman.
In 1955, in the movie "The Seven Year Itch", Monroe stood at the outlet of the New York subway, her white dress was blown up, and the whole of New York was covered by her light, and her action and dress became a famous symbol of sexiness.
But Monroe's move made her second husband, Joe Dimaggio, very dissatisfied.
Dimaggio is 12 years older than Monroe, a legendary star in the history of American baseball, and after filming, Dimaggio was furious and said, "You are obviously my woman, how can you let men all over the world share you?" ”
He hit Monroe hard.
After the failure of her second marriage, Monroe wrote in her diary: "I was always alone! Always alone! ”

Although the failure of the marriage made Monroe very lonely, her career was in full swing at this time.
In 1960, monroe won Best Actress for "Passion like Fire". The film was also named "100 Famous Comedy Films That Influenced the World", and in many film schools, the performances in films were used as textbooks.
From the eliminated trainees to the Hollywood stars who swept the United States.
No one can stand forever by their looks alone.
In fact, Monroe has long known that for an actor, the dividend of appearance is temporary, and superb acting skills can survive.
Monroe, who worked hard in Hollywood, never stopped learning.
In 1949, she had become the heroine of the film, but she was always dissatisfied with her acting skills. At that time, the acting training class was closed, and in order to improve her acting skills, she contacted Michael Chekhov.
Michael Chekhov was a student of Stanislavski. He doesn't trust Monroe in front of him, in his opinion, you just have to pose in front of the camera, you can get wealth and fame, what are you looking for me for?
Monroe said: I want to be an actor, not a freak, and I don't want to be the face of an aphrodisiac, sold to the public. The first year is fair, but over time things will change. ”
Constantly learning to hone her acting skills made Monroe's acting career more glamorous, but what happened at this time changed Monroe's acting career.
In 1952, a man with a nude photo taken by Marilyn Monroe before she became famous came to threaten Monroe and said that he was going to poke it out.
Monroe has never been the kind of person who is at the mercy of others and willing to be a marionette.
She made a bold decision, and Monroe voluntarily sold all these nude photos to Playboy magazine and became the cover girl of Playboy.
These photos almost made the whole of the United States boil, and for a time Monroe became the wandering bearer at that time.
Marilyn Monroe's bold, wild attitude allowed her to survive the crisis and became a true superstar as the star of "Gentleman Loves Beauty" and "Flying Waterfall Rage".

Subsequently, Monroe asked to change her salary, I wanted a raise, I wanted a reasonable payment, I wanted to pay in pieces.
She rebelled against the company's demands on her. Decisively rejected the star role that Fox had given her.
This action of hers led to changes within the entire film industry, when many systems were introduced, unions were formed, fair treatment and remuneration were demanded, unspoken rules were opposed, and so on.
Monroe not only fought for her own interests, but also changed the era when artists were manipulated.
Of course, this also led to the termination of her contract with Fox.
She gave herself a new identity: a pioneering female producer in the history of world cinema.
In December 1954, Monroe left Hollywood, and she and her artist friend Milton and his wife came to New York to set up their own production company, she served as the director, she decided to make a movie for herself, to make the movie she wanted.
When Monroe did this, she did not think about how difficult it would be in the future, she had a very bad life in New York, and these unhappiness came from two aspects, on the one hand, work, on the other hand, marriage.
In New York, Monroe ushered in her third marriage.
Monroe's third husband was the writer Arthur Miller, and if you just look at his pictures, you will be very praised, because he is very polite and elegant, and at first glance he is an intellectual of high society.
But after the marriage, Miller was very arrogant, and the two people had a lot of violent conflicts.
He did not listen to Marilyn Monroe at all, and even often left Marilyn Monroe alone, colluding with other colleagues and friends to isolate Marilyn Monroe.
Monroe was in great pain and she had two miscarriages. Struggling with alcohol and drugs, depression, dependence on alcohol and dependence on drugs reached a peak.
For these reasons, Monroe was sent to the hospital for treatment, but was abused and inhumanly tortured in this hospital.

In the midsummer of 1961, Marilyn Monroe left New York, which had left her sad, left her third husband, Arthur Miller, who had broken her, and Milton, an artist couple who had turned against her, and returned to Hollywood.
But this time back, there was an even bigger conspiracy waiting for her, which caused her great tragedy.
In May, President John F. Kennedy was hosting a birthday party, and he invited Marilyn Monroe to the scene.
The scene where Monroe appeared is still interpreted to this day, because of fear and stage fright, the host said "There is a Marilyn Monroe please" three times in a row before she appeared.
Dressed in fur, she came to the camera with her unique gesture. The first movement was to put her hands under her eyebrows and look ahead, and then she took off her clothes to reveal a long dress that was almost flesh-colored.
Monroe sighed before she was ready to speak, and then she began to sing in an almost whispered voice wishing you a happy birthday.
Full of sexiness and seduction.
However, it was this public performance that made Monroe suffer unprecedented pressure.
Next, Fox's top brass expressed dissatisfaction with Monroe. Monroe's new film for Fox was completely ignored, and monroe's birthday on June 1 was not celebrated by the company.
Fox stopped signing contracts with her and began to report heavily on her negative press, which devastated Monroe.
Soon after, there was a scene at the beginning of the article, where Monroe died at home.
No one knows who Monroe was going to call when she was dying, or what she went through in the last moments of her life.
She is like a delicate work of art, away from the hustle and bustle of sound.
I would like to express my evaluation of Monroe in a five-line poem written by the poet Nishikawa to Marilyn Monroe in 1992:
"Such a woman is loved by us;
Such a woman we allow her to learn badly;
Such a beautiful woman, drunk, singing, smoking a cigarette, such a woman died inexplicably. ”
May Marilyn Monroe in heaven get the love she craves!
