Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortensen, 1926-1962) was an American actress, singer, and model. She has become an icon of 1950s Hollywood. She was married three times, including one marriage to baseball player Joe DiMaggio. Persistent rumor also has it that Monroe engaged in affairs with President John F. Kennedy and his younger brother Robert.

In her last years, Monroe earned a reputation as a being tempermental and difficult. There is also evidence of physical and mental health problems. She died in 1962 of a fatal drug overdose. Officially ruled a "probable suicide", speculation persists that it was either accidental, or an act of murder.

John F. Kennedy mentally likened his quick dalliance with Queen Guinevere to his relationship to Marilyn Monroe. Both women were icons of sexuality, and the opportunity have sex with each was too good to pass up.
