Marilyn Monroe. . .

Marilyn Monroe, in my opinion is one of the most beautiful actresses ever to set foot in hollywood. I've always thought of her as such an icon, she hardly seems like she could possibly have been a real person. But was she even a real person ? that name, that look ? actually, alot of things about her were fake. for example, she was naturally a brunette, with sort of mousy brown hair, and her real name was Norma Jeane Mortenson. She had also had some cosmetic surgery, including getting her teeth fixed as they had protruded slightly. She had some more major surgery in the 1950's on her nose and chin. they tried to make her chin look more soft and rounded, and also made her nose signifigantly smaller. although she was pretty before she became the "marilyn monroe" she was known and loved for, she looked signifigantly different before she reached her stardom, see marilyn as a teenager in the picture below. back before Marilyn was famous, she was married to a man named James Doughtrey who fought in world war II. could you imagine being married to a nice woman named Norma Jean, then to have her transform into the starlet marilyn monroe? Marilyn was also known to fight with depression and drug problems throughout her life, and it has been said that the more famous she got the more depressed she would become in her private life. she was a very different person when she was out of the public eye. I think marilyn monroe is a very mysterious person, and i wonder if anyone ever really knew her.
