How do you see Marilyn Monroe? A fake? A whore? An inspiration, or even a hero? How much do you really know about her?
First lets start with some background information. Marilyn Monroe’s birth name is Norma Jean Baker, She is most known for being a major sex symbol, an actress, singer, and model. Why do I think she’s heroic? Above everything, her childhood was a nightmare, and she was still a very strong woman, but ill get to that later.
Marilyn is a genuinely strong, independent, beautiful women who had to withstand more than most, and she still smiled and didn't let that affect her and she didn't let anything affect who she was. She was true to herself despite people judging her, she lived her life how she wanted, which is how we should all live, laidback not worrying about what others think, as long as it makes you happy do what you want, afterall you only live once!
Marilyn Monroe was born in L.A. on June first in 1926(Yvonne). Her mother, Gladys Pearl Baker was born May, twenty seventh, 1902. Gladys was twenty four when Marilyn was born. Marilyn's Father Who's still unclear, but we think her father is Edward Mortensen was born February, twenty sixth, 1897. Edward was twenty nine when Marilyn was born. Marilyn never met her father and her mother was mentally unstable and was institutionalized and could not take care of Marilyn.
Furthermore, lets talk about Marilyns childhood. Her childhood represents everything dark(the vigilant citizen), Marilyn was not with her mother because she was not quite all there in the head, Marilyn remembers her mother screaming and laughing in a room by herself. Her father refused to ever meet Marilyn. Therefore she was forced to go to an orphanage, She was in at least eleven foster homes and...
... middle of paper ...
...s just too many to list.
furthermore, how did Marilyn Monroe die? No one really knows. Some people think she committed suicide by overdosing on sleeping pills, and others think she was murdered due to the bruises and marks on her skin. Why would someone murder her? We think that Marilyn just knew too much, Why would she kill herself? They say that doctors controlled her life and drove her insane.
Finally to wrap everything up, I hope I either helped you make up your mind on Marilyn Monroe or maybe even changed your opinion, I know when I did research my opinion changed. The one thing that inspires me the most about Marilyn is she’s known to be one of the most beautiful woman ever and she doesn't have a Victoria secret model’s body figure, shes a little chunky and I think it shows that you don't have to be skinny or perfect to be beautiful.

When Dr. Greenson and Marilyn’s housekeeper broke into Marilyn’s room they both claimed it happened around midnight to one in the morning. The cops showed up to the crime scene around 4:15 the morning of August 5th. This gives both the psychiatrist and the housekeeper time to stage her whole entire death as a suicide.

Marilyn Monroe is an icon that is idolized by many and had a great impact on pop culture. She didn’t have the best childhood and had a lot of up and downs in her life. Marilyn Monroe was born in California in 1926. She was named Norma Jeane Mortenson after a popular actress at the time.

Marilyn Monroe, Norma Jeane Mortenson. A devious soul but a pure heart, a black past, but a bright future; she became one of the most idolized figures in society. Norma was definitely not born with a silver spoon in her mouth, and she never sugar coated her life to the media. She was straight forward which made her heavily known for her quotes such as “I learned to walk as a baby and I haven’t had a lesson since.” (Marilyn Monroe). This was the beginning to her life story as a hero. This may not seem inspiring or heroic to many by the lack of knowledge a person may have on Norma. In the depths of her quotes lay a deep, heartfelt life though. For this quote may seem sensational and comical to the ear, but Marilyn was transferred to many foster homes not really having a parent that would show her the way. What a good role model would do though, and what Norma courageously has shown society, is that when life knocks you down, get up and hit life back twice as hard. Norma Jeane Mortenson, married Jim Dougherty, and started working. Soon she created the character Marilyn Monroe, she dyed her hair blonde, wore short dresses, and she became the momentous and inspirational character that everyone saw through television, newspapers, and photos.

Marilyn Monroe was a deeply troubled woman and I believe that in applying a Psychoanalytic Perspective to her life, the first theorist that comes to mind is Erik Erickson and his stage theory of personality. In applying his theory we see that we can assess Marilyn’s personality through Erickson’s psychosocial stages of “Identity vs. Role Confusion” and “Intimacy vs. Isolation” (Friedman & Schustack 133-134). Marilyn’s childhood, the most critical time in any child’s life when any and all relationships are crucial to their healthy development proved to be the catalyst for her later problems in life as evident by the lack of any solid and

Monroe spent her childhood in orphanages, struggling without her mother yet she still worked to become a star. Her efforts landed her a star on the Hollywood walk of fame for her phenomenal acting skills. Marilyn is noted for these and her iconic shots in Playboy Magazine, which aided her in becoming a sex icon. Even though Monroe gained so much in her short life, she still ended up overdosing on barbiturates, also known as sleeping pills. She had been dealing with her mental health while trying to maintain her career and it ended up in a tragedy. Marilyn was dismissed from working for Fox because of her change in personality, due to her ill mental health, which likely aided in her untimely death (Wills). Despite this Monroe left her family a way to be cared for, “In her will, Monroe set up a trust to care for her mother until she died. She left money to her half-sister who Monroe didn't even know existed until she was 12” (“Monroe’s Legacy”). She was a skilled actress and a kind woman, even if she was marketed as a purely sexual star. Furthermore, Marilyn Monroe said, “A sex symbol becomes a thing—I just hate to be a thing. But if I'm going to be a symbol of something, I'd rather have it sex” (Encyclopedia of World Biography). This was referring to her becoming a sex idol.
