The Story Teller

‘That’s the trouble, a sex symbol becomes a thing. But if I’m going to be a symbol of something, I’d rather have it sex than some other things we’ve got symbols of.’

-Marilyn Monroe

She was born Norma Jeane Mortenson (but baptized Norma Jeane Baker) in Los Angeles, CA on June 1, 1926. A beautiful blond who stood 5 feet and 5 and a half inches tall with lovely blue eyes and vital statistics of 37-23-36.

She had been popularly known as MARILYN MONROE, an actress, a singer and a model. She had been dead since August 5, 1962 but was still named Number One Sex Star of the 20th Century by Playboy Magazine in 1999.

She died with her phone still clutched in her hand. Her death was counted as a (possible) suicide through overdose of barbiturates. But it was also speculated that she simply lost track of the number of sleeping pills that she swallowed making her death accidental. But her alleged relationship with Robert and John Kennedy added a veil of mystery in her death.

This, however, did not diminish the fame of the People Magazine’s choice of ‘Sexiest Woman of the Century’ in 1999.
