A general view of Marilyn Monroe's resting place at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery, Los Angeles Marilyn Monroe’s enduring stardom Words by Mark Worgan / Picture research by Jon Gillespie She is one of Hollywood’s greatest icons both during her turbulent life and subsequent death, and on 1 June 2016, screen siren Marilyn Monroe, who died in 1962 at the age of 36, would have been 90, had she survived her brief but influential blaze of stardom. Born Norma Jeane Mortenson in Los Angeles County Hospital to parents Gladys Pearl Monroe and her estranged husband Martin Edward Mortensen, the future silver screen legend star endured a tough upbringing. Placed with a foster family and then an orphanage due to her mother’s problems with mental illness, she lead a nomadic and troubled childhood. As a 16-year-old Norma Jeane married James Dougherty, 21. While her husband fought with the U.S. Army in the Second World War, she began a modelling career which gave her a way in to Hollywood. After a successful screen test, in 1946 she signed a contract with the 20th Century Fox movie studio, divorced James and took her famous moniker from popular Broadway star Marilyn Miller and her mother’s maiden name. In 1947, she made her cinematic debut, delivering several lines as a waitress in the drama Dangerous Years. However it was her role as the mistress of a criminal mastermind in John Huston’s iconic 1950 film noir The Asphalt Jungle that kickstarted her rise to stardom and by 1953 she was a leading lady in hit musical Gentlemen Prefer Blondes alongside movie star Jane Russell. Her performance in the film as a naive blonde showgirl established her as a major star and birthed the 'dumb blonde' character she would use to great effect in films How To Marry A Millionaire and The Seven Year Itch. She became a major sex symbol and one of the most popular Hollywood stars during the 1950s. And although she was a top-billed actress for only a decade, her films grossed $200
