[Edit this paragraph] Life

Marilyn Monroe was born in Los Angeles General Hospital. Her real name is Norma Joan mortensen. Norma's life was bumpy. Before she was born, her father bought a motorcycle and rode it straight north to San Francisco. After that, she never came back, leaving her family and unborn Norma, which is why she is in her mind. As for the mother, although gladys gave birth to her, she was born with no one to support her. Not only is the relationship between men and women complicated, but almost no one knows who the father of the child is.

Gladys was working as a film editor in a large factory, but she didn't do her duty as a mother. At the age of nine, her mother couldn't accept the fact that her father had left and was put in a mental hospital. 194 1 year, little Norma went to Anna's home in California. A year later, Norma of 16 married james daugherty, four years older than herself, and had her own home for the first time. However, this is a loveless marriage. Two years later, her husband was drafted into the army during World War II. Soon after, her husband filed for divorce because she was dissatisfied with Norma's new job, so she ended the marriage at the age of 20. Marilyn Monroe became a swimsuit model with her beautiful appearance, and her beautiful image spread everywhere. Finally, it was passed on to a generation of movie mogul howard hughes, who was invited to audition. However, her agent advised her to choose the bigger 20th Century Fox Company.

1946, Norma was employed by the boss of 20th century Fox Company, hence her stage name-Marilyn Monroe. The initial work was not smooth. She just ran around saying "Hello!" in some movies. In order to earn fifty dollars and show her art, Marilyn started taking nude photos just to prevent her car from being pawned. After she became famous, the news broke out in the tabloids, but Marilyn did not deny it in the face of public opinion, which made her gain public sympathy. 1950, John boldly launched Marilyn to play one or two main roles in Tar Jungle. Then big stars such as Marilyn and bette davis filmed All the ins and outs of Eve. Although she appeared for a short time, her innocence left a deep impression on those who heard the dialogue between Xiongnu and Tao Tao. As soon as the film was over, Fox signed a seven-year contract with her.

1947, Marilyn Monroe made the first film "Miss Pilgrim", but she was only a small role in the film, and the subsequent films did not improve. Fox didn't want to renew her new contract, so she had to return to the modeling industry and start taking acting classes. 1949, she took nude photos for Playboy magazine, and then made two films, Al-Laboutte Eve and Night Jungle. Although she is still a small role in the film, she has begun to attract the attention of fans.

In the 1960s, Niagara, Spring Night, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The River Never Returning, and The Seven-Year Itch gradually established her position. However, her divorced marriage with baseball star Jodi Maggio and modern playwright arthur miller, coupled with her ambiguous relationship with President Kennedy, interweaves a dazzling love world.

Fifty-three years ago, although Marilyn was well received by the film critics, the film company always limited her to the role of "stupid beauty". In order to develop, she went to Michael Chekhov Theatre to attend drama classes and arrange classical plays. At this time, a reporter recognized that the nude model on the "Golden Dream" monthly card was Marilyn, and the disclosure of the news not only did not ruin her future, but also aroused the audience's curiosity and paid more attention to her. 1953 was a turning point in Marilyn's life. She played the leading role for the first time in the movie Niagara Falls. The film is set in the world-famous waterfall, which sets off Marilyn's beautiful figure. Since its release, the film has sold out, and she has become not only a first-class star, but also the most remarkable myth concocted by Hollywood.

1954, Marilyn married baseball player Joe di Maggio. Unfortunately, the giants in the world were so jealous that they had many restrictions on her and finally parted ways. Her second marriage lasted only nine months and was announced on127 October. At the press conference on10.6, Marilyn's lawyer explained the reasons for the divorce with "professional conflict".

After playing the role of vase for many times in the film, Marilyn began to pursue further acting career and get rid of the image of' blonde hair'. 1956, he began to study under the guidance of Lee Strasberg in actors studio, new york. That year, Marilyn Monroe and photographer Milton Greene founded Marilyn Monroe Film Production Company. Later, Bus Station (1956) and The Prince and the Dancer (1957) were two films that showed Marilyn's high-level performance ability.

On July 1956, she married the playwright Arthur Miller again. They met while filming Forever Youth in 195 1, and Gone with the Wind in 196 1 was written by Miller to Monroe and was her last film. Marilyn's third marriage ended on June 20th 196 1.

Before marriage, every movie of Marilyn was an extraordinary box office, especially in The Seven-Year Itch, where she stood on the hollow iron plate at the subway entrance and her skirt was blown up by the wind from below, which became the most famous scene in her movie. However, Monroe is not satisfied with the silly role of beauty. Then in the performance of Bus Station, she integrated her life experience into the role, and her acting reached an unprecedented height. In the film, when she appeared in a small bar, she really felt radiant and radiant.

1957, The Prince and the Dancer, co-produced with laurence olivier, suffered an unprecedented failure. After two years of fading out, Marilyn carefully took over the film. Shooting was very hard, so she miscarried twice, but it was all worth it-Passion became her highest-grossing film.

1960, Marilyn and clark gable co-starred in "untimely people". No one expected that this was the last film they parted. A few days after the shutdown, clark gable died of a heart attack. In the same year 1 1 month, she and her husband Arthur miller officially separated, and the emotional trauma caused by this divorce has not been calmed down. Her neurasthenia became serious and she had to go to a mental hospital for short-term treatment. A year later, high-spirited Marilyn took on the new film "On the verge of collapse", which was the first time that she agreed to shoot nude scenes in the film since the magazine was naked.

1 962 June1day, she celebrated her 36th birthday in the studio of the crew. In order to prove her wealth and charm, Marilyn wore a transparent scarf in front of Bert Stern's camera and took the last group of charming photos. The weekend of August 4th, Saturday, was the climax of Monroe's tragic life. This morning, people saw that her face was bright. No one expected that this was the last glory before he died.

1962, Marilyn Monroe was in poor health at work. In order to make something unpleasant with the film company, on May 19, she was invited to sing "Happy Birthday" for President Kennedy regardless of her work. She died suddenly on August 5 this year. The "Double" film was not finished, but it left the world with a classic "Happy Birthday, Mr. President".

1962 On the morning of August 5th, Marilyn's housekeeper found that the light in her bedroom was still on. She lay naked in bed and died in the house she just bought in Los Angeles, California. Her personal doctor concluded that she died at 3: 40 in the morning. The coroner in Los Angeles later said that her death was due to "overdose and acute barbiturate poisoning". A few days before Monroe died, her doctor prescribed barbiturate, a powerful sleeping pill. Because before that, she felt a little stressed and uneasy because she couldn't play the role in the movie, but she soon returned to normal. Although she tried to commit suicide before, there were many contradictions in Marilyn's death, which made the suicide theory doubtful.

[Edit this paragraph] The death of Marilyn Monroe

Although there are hundreds of books about Monroe and her death in the world, the information about her has disappeared or been buried with her. In August 2005, John Miner, an 86-year-old retired Los Angeles forensic doctor, came to the office of Fudge Beckett, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times. He brought the tape that Monroe gave to psychologist Gleason before she died.

Two days after Monroe's death, Gleason gave two tapes sent by Monroe the day before her death to his friend Miner. Miner promised Gleason not to hand them over to the police. It was not until 43 years later that he was in financial trouble that he had to sell the tapes to reporters. Many long-forgotten stories about Monroe have been uncovered again.

If you rewind the film to 1960 and 1, you will see Monroe going to Gleason's office. At that time, Monroe had experienced three psychologists, and it was rumored that she was suffering from "depression". In fact, Monroe was often delirious, and the whole crew had to wait for her to wake up. In order not to delay the progress of the film, someone found Ralph Gleason, a psychologist closely related to Hollywood. His patients include Peter Lorre (director of Bourne ultimatum) and Vivien Leigh. "This is a woman in extreme panic, a woman who may destroy herself by taking a lot of drugs and drugs." The man said this when he introduced his future patient to Gleason.

A large number of films about Gleason and Monroe are mostly presented with psychological self-confidence, intermittent or even chaotic: a girl abandoned by her mother and father disappeared, lived in a foster home, and was sexually assaulted and harassed by her stepfather when she was young; The trauma of childhood made her unable to respect herself when she grew up, and she was always worried about being abandoned. This 34-year-old woman has always considered herself an abandoned child. In public, she tries to attract people, but when she is alone, she completely ignores herself. She takes pictures to resist anxiety, but she often stutters when facing the focal plane. Combined with the trauma of childhood and the crazy environment in Hollywood, her defense way is to take 20 barbiturates every day, swallow a lot of sedatives and even be sent to a psychiatric ward. ...

Gleason tried to cure Monroe with empathy therapy. He brought her into his family, let her feel the warmth of home, participated in her work and life, and delineated a suitable house for her who has no fixed place to live. Just when he thought her illness would get better, her life came to an abrupt end.

Although in the last few years of Monroe, the truth about her death was hidden in those intermittent black clips, the Marilyn I saw was already dead the moment I stepped into Hollywood.

She is portrayed by Hollywood as a sexy idol whose image, voice, personality and even walking posture are false. This unreality often makes her stare blankly in the mirror for hours to tell who is in the mirror. This unloved woman, if she has not set foot in Hollywood, may only need a little luck and wisdom like ordinary women, find a man who loves her and can give her stability, start a family and have two children, which can make up for the biggest gap in her heart. But fate made her step into Hollywood, an empty city with colorful appearance and holes in the heart, which magnified the cruelty.

In the spotlight, she is White Queen. Outside the spotlight, she was abandoned by her lover and betrayed by her friends. Some men leave her because she is Monroe, and some men leave her because she is not Monroe. She was divided by everyone and everyone took a piece from her in exchange. Even the bodies that were dissected and exhumed after death were sold to reporters for photos at high prices. She was still beautiful at the funeral. In fact, she is just a "doll" whose body is filled with plastic. She left the last scene in the public eye. Perhaps only this most thorough farewell can make Monroe find herself.

This is a sad and even cruel book, because it reveals too much truth, and it is also a precious book, because it returns the truth that Monroe did not get before her death.

Marilyn Monroe lived a miserable life, and her mother was raped at the age of 16. When Monroe became a sexy goddess after her struggle, she started the trend. Monroe died young and was depressed all her life. She said, "Some people are very unfriendly. If I say I want to be an actor when I grow up, someone will look at my figure. If I say I want to improve my acting skills, they will laugh. They don't really think that I will take my performance seriously. " Some people say that this may be the price of fame and fortune. It's wonderful, but it also brings regret. People who are deeply involved in it can't escape. Later generations, from Lisa, Elvis Presley's daughter, to Madonna, and then to Angelina Jolie, all imitated Monroe's proud expression. They are also famous, but they are also deeply involved in fame and fortune, because no one has read Monroe's words completely, imitated a person, read a person thoroughly, and you will find her failure and then surpass her predecessors.

[Edit this paragraph] Pure sexy goddess

Perhaps few people have heard of her name, or seen her on TV or in movies. The recognized "sexy goddess" is still talked about by people, and no one can surpass it.

Looking at her photos, I always feel that there is a childlike innocence mixed with smoke and flattering flesh and lips.

As an adopted daughter, she married her neighbor before 16 in order not to move any more. Later, nude photos taken for magazines gradually made her synonymous with "sexy".

But being sexy comes at a price. In order to highlight the wasp's thin waist, several ribs were removed to dilute the spots on her face. In order to make the original sparse teeth beautiful and tidy ... the directors are willing to let the camera behind her give her a few minutes of close-ups of "Monroe's gait", but they are not willing to give her a chance to develop her acting skills. In their minds, as long as she poses in front of the camera, it is enough. Why take the risk? Who would want to see her perform? After her death, one of her ex-husbands said that Hollywood killed Monroe.

She has two idols: Lincoln and clark gable, but the last play < the Misfits & gt > written for her by her ex-husband Arthur Miller killed Gaby (he worked hard during filming and didn't need body double, and died of a heart attack just after filming).

What impressed her most was that she went to Japan with her husband after marrying baseball star Dimaggio. After hearing the news, Mark Arthur, who was fighting in North Korea at that time, invited her to perform a condolence performance in North Korea. She gladly accepted the invitation, dressed in tights similar to or different from those of soldiers in the ice and snow with tens of degrees below zero, and returned to Japan with a high fever. An admirable actress! Think about some stars now, don't mention it. Of course I knew who the United States was fighting at that time, but I was moved by her dedication and patriotism. )

As for her works, The Seven-Year Itch, In Full swing, A Gentleman Loves Blonde, How to to marry a millionaire and The Prince and the Dancer are more famous. In "The Seven-Year Itch", the scene of smiling and grabbing a skirt and flying at the subway entrance was copied and reproduced in various forms by later movies and television, but personally, this movie is nothing more than this scene and her posturing. And Passion is well worth watching. Although the most brilliant performance was not sugar, but Jack Lemmon, it was already one of her best performances.

Her death and her relationship with the Kennedy brothers have become a difficult mystery, and opinions vary.

[Edit this paragraph] the world famous paintings and Marilyn Monroe double paintings

This picture shows Warhol's double paintings of Marilyn Monroe, which is a representative work of pop art, also known as "pop art". Popular commercial and cultural images, such as abandoned beer cans, advertising pictures, celebrity photos, trademarks, cartoons, etc., are taken as themes, and pop art is carried out by repeated collage or large-scale screen printing. ..

1962, at the end of the theme exhibition of "200 Campbell Soup Pots" series, Marilyn Monroe, a famous American sexy star, committed mysterious suicide. Warhol, who has always liked her, is as shocked and sad as many people, and can't forget the cute and provocative look of her blowing a kiss with one hand. So he took out the stills he had collected for a long time, so he created this unique painting. Warhol repeatedly arranged a dozen images of Marilyn Monroe on the screen. Black and white images are repeatedly arranged on the right, and color images are repeatedly arranged on the left. Warhol used screen printing technology to mass-produce the same images. In the production process, he consciously misregistered, resulting in different shades of color, ambiguity and color dislocation, making the picture look inferior, popular and vulgar. The repeated arrangement of this contrast form seems to remind people of this mysterious and sexy female star who committed suicide, and it is also a repetitive, tireless and rigid form of commemoration or memory. It also shows that these slightly different repeated images show Marilyn Monroe's lonely inner world. Although she has attracted much attention, her heart is still lonely, and eventually she will not escape the fate of destruction. Because painters use screen printing technology, paintings can be produced in large quantities, and works of art have become commodities that can be produced in large quantities. As a work of art, its uniqueness and uniqueness are gone. As Warhol himself said, "I want to turn myself into a machine." His studio is also called "the factory". Later, he created a large number of "social portraits" in the same way.

The 20th century has produced many influential pop artists and various pop art works. Although this art form is controversial, its influence on modern art is extensive and far-reaching.
