Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson, became a legendary star and one of the most famous women in the world. She spent much of her childhood in foster homes and started her career as a model. Monroe attended Van Nuys High School in Los Angeles, but never graduated. Of course Monroe was in school back in the time before an online degree or any kind of online college was even available. She then received her first film contract in 1946. She went on to make minor appearances in the movies “The Asphalt Jungle,” and “All About Eve,” that were both released in 1950. She gained international stardom in roles such as “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,” and “The Seven Year Itch.” Marilyn Monroe’s success is due in large part to her incredible charisma and star quality. Her seductive looks and charm made it almost inevitable that she would achieve super-stardom in spite of her background.
