Marilyn Monroe
No more with overflowing light
Shall find eyes that now are faded,
Nor shall another’s fringe with night
Their woman-hidden world as they did.
Their shall quiver down the days
The flowing wonder of her ways,
Whereof no language may requite
The shifting and the many shaded.
Excerpt from “For a Dead Lady”
By Edwin Arlington Robinson
Her name was Norma Jean Mortenson. What she made of her life as she transformed herself into Marilyn Monroe had an affect on millions.
America’s most famous “It Girl” was born into a troubled family, a mother with severe depression, no knowledge of her father, and a mentally unstable and abusive grandmother. She spent much of her childhood drifting around with various neighbors and family friends until she met Andre` de Dienes considered a master of the artistic nude study, who helped her jumpstart her amazing career. He met her in 1945 and had taken the first photographs of her. She trusted him totally; he loved her so and proved to be an unswervingly faithful friend.
By this time she had been married for three years but was divorced in the fall of 1946. she was nineteen years old when she first divorced. The best thing that came from this marriage was that while her husband was in the marines she worked in a factory where she was photographed by the army as a promotion to show woman working on the assembly line contributing to the war effort. One of the photographers asked to take further pictures of her. She was quickly known as a photographers dream and appeared on thirty-three covers of national magazines. She was considered a natural beauty and was quoted saying, “I want to grow old without face-lifts… I want to have the courage to be loyal to the face that I have made.”
Her career blossomed from model to actress when she signed a contract with Twentieth Century Fox Studios. Norma Jean was her reality, Marilyn Monroe was her fantasy and from that point on she was known as Marilyn Monroe. Even though she started off playing small roles, she was in a large number of movies which contributed to Americas escape from the war and its after effects of that time period. People found themselves captivated by her roles in movies, which made them forget their troubles.
In 1948 Marilyn sang her first songs “Everybody loves a DA-Da Daddy” and “Anyone Can See I Love You” both showcased in the hour long B movie “Ladies of the Chorus” in which she played leading role.
The 1950’s were a big time for Marilyn. That was when her career really took off and she quickly became the superstar that one family friend had always told her she would be. On June 26, 1953, Marilyn received her star along Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, she wrote her name in the wet cement in front of Grumman’s Chinese Theater and dotted her “i” with a rhinestone. Unfortunately, the rhinestone was quickly stolen. Within two year she appeared in over ten movies. She met Joe DiMaggio when she was twenty-five and he was thirty-seven. Joe recently retired from baseball and had expressed a big desire to meet Marilyn. By February their romance was in full bloom. It began magically as a public romance and ended as a public romance. He was Joe DiMaggio the king of baseball, and she, Marilyn Monroe, the queen of the movies and the public had a relentless desire to know everything about the couple’s personal life. It caused their relationship to fall apart. America’s ideal hero: strong, rugged, troubled, married to America’s feminine ideal: beautiful, talented and sexually appealing. It was a perfect match destined to fail, but somehow Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe managed to love one another. On October 5,1954, just 274 days after they were married, Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio divorced. Their love was strong for one another but Marilyn’s career was something that Joe could not handle. He wanted and needed a wife; he wanted her to be his and not the sex idol she was for every other man in the world. She had said, “when I married him, I wasn’t sure of why I married him, I have too many fantasies to be a housewife.”
Marilyn stayed close to Joe, they were even going to remarry but that day never came because on August 5, 1962 Marilyn passed away with the cause of a sleeping pill overdose. No one can be sure if death was her goal or not. Many don’t understand why she would pick that choice but others speculate it could have stemmed from her rough childhood and her inability to look for the trust in those that surrounded her. She said her self that she never felt she belonged to anyone besides the public in this recorded quote, “ I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anyone else.” Her effect on America didn’t end in 1959 at the end of the war, her beauty and talent is something people try to emulate event today through TV, movies, and song such as the famous song written by Elton John, “Candle in the Wind.”
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have like to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
there is so much more that she did and was but i couldnt add everything it only could be 3 pages double spaced so i did my best, with much help from cadi to be very vague on things.
