Who is Marilyn Monroe?

Origin Marilyn rose to fame slowly but surely through her studio work in the 1940s and 1950s. Many of her earlier roles were relatively obscure (and in which she had darker hair than her iconic look) though she had a role in in All About Eve. She rose to fame later in such famous films as The Seven Year Itch, Some Like it Hot, How to Marry a Millionaire, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and Niagara, and generally for playing the same kind of character. Creation Marilyn is best known for her glamourous lifestyle which was made famous in the golden age of Hollywood films. She rose to fame based more on her sex appeal than acting ability. This sex appeal was displayed in various ways among them appearing in early issues of Playboy or conversely helping to establish red lipstick as a glamourous addition to a woman's makeup options. She was also known for her high profile marriages and love affairs. As an iconic female character she has shown up periodically in comic books though generally not as a main character.
