Zweig once said: The gift of fate has long been secretly marked with a price, and this sentence is enough to serve as a footnote to Marilyn Monroe's life.
On June 1, 1926, at los Angeles General Hospital, a baby girl named Norma Jane Baker was born, but her stage name Marilyn Monroe was arguably thunderous compared to her unremarkable original name.
Because her mother suffered from mental illness, Monroe was sent to foster care less than two weeks after she was born, and when Monroe was 7 years old, her mentally improved mother took her back to her side to raise her, and looking back, this should be a rare happy and peaceful time in her life. Unfortunately, a year later, Monroe's mother once again entered the mental hospital for convalescence, and Monroe was entrusted to the care of her mother's good friend Grace.
When Monroe was 15 years old, the Grace family decided to move away, and Monroe was abandoned again. In order not to be sent to an orphanage, Monroe married her neighbor James Doherty, who was 5 years older than her. After a year of marriage, Monroe entered a drone factory to work, and it was here that she received the gift that fate had given her.
In 1944, in order to encourage front-line soldiers to fight, photographer David was sent to the factory to take promotional photos of some beautiful girls working, and he was attracted to Monroe's first glance. Although Monroe's photos were not chosen, the accident reminded her of her dream of being an actress.
In the years that followed, Monroe worked as a magazine model and dragon suit actor until 1954, when she finally became the brightest female star of the time, the "sexy goddess" in the United States and even the world, and it was also in this year that she met John F. Kennedy.
What Monroe didn't know, however, was that it was an arranged encounter, and that she was a "gift" to John F. Kennedy. John F. Kennedy fell in love with Monroe at first sight, but for the powerful playboy, the best women were just his "prey."
Monroe became entangled with John F. Kennedy, and at the same time she herself experienced two failed marriages, coupled with the unsuccessful career, Monroe's mental condition became worse and worse. At this time, John F. Kennedy, who had become president and stood on top of the world, became the only comfort in her heart.
Monroe lacked fatherly love since childhood, and she needed a man who could give her a sense of security, not to mention that this man still had the aura of "the president of the United States", and she had "feelings" with this man for many years. As long as you marry him, you can get everything, such a huge temptation that no one can resist.
Monroe is said to have called Johan Kennedy's wife, "First Lady" Jacqueline, saying that she was with John F. Kennedy and that the man had promised to marry her. Would Jacqueline be afraid? Not at all, because she knew that John F. Kennedy was a political creature who would divorce her for greater interests, but it was impossible to lose her political career because of a famous female star, but unfortunately, Monroe did not understand this truth.
On May 19, 1962, John F. Kennedy's birthday, Monroe specially customized a sexy tights dress, and sang a birthday song for her "lover" under the eyes of the whole world, she was charming and her voice was tight, almost making their feelings public.
John F. Kennedy felt a great crisis and decided to stay away from this "stupid" woman, so he sent his brother Robert Kennedy to appease Monroe. The radish that came out of a pit was naturally in the same vein, and Robert Kennedy also fell under Monroe's beauty, and even promised Monroe that he would marry her.
However, Robert Kennedy soon grew tired of Monroe, and Monroe, who had been abandoned by the Kennedy brothers one after another, naturally refused to give up, calling their office more than several times, and even threatening to reveal the political secrets that John F. Kennedy had revealed to her at the pillow.
On August 5, 1962, Monroe was found dead in her private apartment, and after an investigation, the police characterized Monroe's death as suicide by taking sleeping pills.
Although a large number of tranquilizers were tested in Monroe's blood, no drug ingredients were found in her stomach, coupled with her overly calm appearance, sealed call records and missing diaries, all of which cast a mystery over Monroe's death.
Monroe once said in her autobiography: In Hollywood, people would rather spend 1,000 yuan in exchange for your kiss than only 50 cents for your soul. She understood this truth, but did not implement it in her own life, so she became entangled with the ruthless and dangerous John F. Kennedy, and even gave birth to undeserved ambitions, and finally lost her life.
In the final analysis, all the misfortunes stem from her bleak childhood, and if she could grow up in a rich and happy family, at least she would not die at the age of 36.
