Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe, a celebrated icon, succumbed to a drug overdose at 36. Known for her roles as the quintessential blonde, her life was marked by fame, three marriages, and whispers of her preferences, ignited by claims from her ex, Joe DiMaggio.
Monroe’s charisma ensnared not just audiences but allegedly, contemporaries like Barbara Stanwyck and Elizabeth Taylor. Her intimate liaisons extended to mentors Paula Strasberg and Natasha Lytess, the latter quoting Monroe’s exploit of their bond.
