Pretty Marylin...

I just realized that I actually love Marylin Monroe..I don't know why but I guess it's because of the way she brought herself in such a way that people can see her as one glamorous and glowing goddes.

Here's a quick bio from Marylin Monroe's website:

She was born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles, California, to Gladys Baker. She spent most of her childhood in foster homes and orphanages until 1937. On June 19, 1942 she wed her 21-year-old neighbor Jimmy Dougherty, whom she had been dating for six months. She divorced Jimmy in June of 1946, and signed her first studio contract with Twentieth Century Fox on August 26, 1946. She earned $125 a week. Soon after, Norma Jeane dyed her hair blonde and changed her name to Marilyn Monroe (borrowing her grandmother's last name). The rest, as the saying goes, is history. On June 29, 1956, Marilyn wed playwright Arthur Miller.At the 1962 Golden Globes, Marilyn was named female World Film Favorite, once again demonstrating her widespread appeal. Sadly, in a shocking turn of events on the early morning of August 5, 1962, 36-year-old Marilyn died in her sleep at her Brentwood, California home. The world was stunned. Marilyn's vibrant spirit and beauty made it impossible to believe she was gone. On August 8, 1962, Marilyn's body was laid to rest in the Corridor of Memories, #24, at Westwood Memorial Park in Los Angeles, California.

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they go right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together." - M. Monroe
