The life of the world famous actress Marilyn Monroe (real name Norma Jean Baker) was short-lived and left behind many questions, to which there are no unambiguous answers to this day. "There are only girls in jazz", "How to marry a millionaire" - films with the participation of a Hollywood star are known to a wide range of moviegoers.
Instructions
Step 1
Born in Los Angeles in 1926, Marilyn Monroe was named after the popular actress Norma Talmadge. The parents did not remain in the memory of their daughter: the girl was very young when the mother was in the hospital for the mentally ill, and the father left the family even before the child was born.
Step 2
The character traits of the future movie star were formed under the influence of a bitter feeling of loneliness. From the age of two weeks, Norma was passed on to be raised in different families (the longest stay in a foster family was the first six years of life), the final place of stay of the girl was an orphanage. Young Marilyn understood that only at the cost of her own efforts she could achieve something in life.
Step 3
And the girl began to act. First, she independently got rid of congenital stuttering. The first victory had to go three years, during which the future actress loudly and slowly read monologues and sang, and she deliberately did it with the noise in the rooms of neighbors pouring water in the bathroom. Young Norma Baker took care of her appearance with special care, hiding her imperfections under a masterful make-up. The girl learned to give special expressiveness and beauty to her appearance and, having become famous, Marilyn Monroe did not trust others to deal with her appearance.
Step 4
The modeling career begins in 1944. At first, these were photographs of a war photographer, estimated at five dollars per hour of posing.
Step 5
The Twentieth Century Fox film studio accepted a young girl as a statistician. It was here that Marilyn got her new name and surname. And portraits of Marilyn Monroe began to appear on the covers of American magazines. Then there was an offer to act in Hollywood. But so far, these have been minor roles in films coming out on a wide screen.
Step 6
Many believe that Monroe's career has developed due to her rare appearance: a beautiful figure, blond curly hair (she was brown-haired by nature, so she constantly dyed them), face beauty corrected by makeup and plastic surgery. However, there was such a deep charm from the actress that the audience admired her with fascination.
Step 7
Marilyn Monroe worked seriously to become a real actress: she attended classes in the studio of actors, took private lessons. But, unfortunately, the filmmakers were primarily interested in Monroe's appearance.
Step 8
In 1950, having played a talented episodic role, the young Marilyn was noticed by critics, directors and producers. Subsequent roles became important for the actress: her name was included in the list of the best young film actresses. Then came the time of leading roles in films well-known to the general public and the triumph that followed. And invitations to act in film followed one after another. In 1954, Marilyn Monroe established herself as the first Hollywood movie star. The picture "There are only girls in jazz" became a real triumph of the movie star.
Step 9
Acting success confidently went on the rise, and scandals and troubles began to appear in his personal life. First, the scandalous posing in the nude, then the excessive use of tranquilizers. In addition, the last hope of becoming a mother was finally lost. The actress experienced mental discomfort, which gave rise to a serious addiction to alcohol and strong medications. Because of the movie star, shooting was disrupted, films with her participation were expensive.
Step 10
Revered by many as the goddess of love, the actress always needed her and died from lack of this feeling. Kind, who read Chekhov and Dostoevsky, loved American poetry, she preferred reliable, serious and intelligent men. The successful life of a star turned into a tragedy. The popular actress belonged to the viewer because, as she believed, "no one else needed it."
Step 11
Crowds of fans did not save Marilyn Monroe from loneliness. She often experienced a state of depression, at a young age even tried to commit suicide, in the last years of her life she was a patient of a psychiatric clinic. The movie star died in 1962 after taking a lethal dose of sleeping pills, but to this day, for some, her death is considered a mystery.
