Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson; June 1, 1926 – August 4,
1962) was an American actress, model, and singer. Famous for playing

the era's changing attitudes towards sexuality. She was a top-billed actress
for only a decade, but her films grossed $200 million (equivalent to $2
billion in 2019) by the time of her death in 1962. More than half a century
