Marilyn Monroe is easily one of the most legendary figures in Hollywood history and today she would have celebrated her 95th birthday.

Born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926 – she rose to prominence in acting modeling, and singing. The fierce Gemini was known for being a blonde bombshell and was not afraid to give a little sex appeal in films like Some Like It Hot and How to Marry a Millionaire.

What many don’t know is that she was a champion for women’s rights, denouncing sexual harassment in Hollywood, seeking higher pay for women, and embracing her curves.Unfortunately, Monroe died tragically on Aug. 4, 1962, in her L.A. home from a barbiturate overdose.

Monroe’s humor and dynamic acting were unmatched. Decades later we still celebrate the life and legacy of Marilyn Monroe, a gem of old Hollywood glamour.
