Norma Jeane Mortenson, later known as Marilyn Monroe, is born in Los Angeles, California. A movie star, cultural icon, and enduring sex symbol, Monroe starred in classic films like Some Like It Hot (1959) and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) before tragically dying at the age of just 36 following an accidental overdose of barbiturates in 1962.
