[00:58.59]But success and fame were not enough to make her happy. [01:04.24]The troubles of her childhood days stayed with her. [01:08.60]She drank too much alcohol. [01:11.92]She took too many drugs. [01:14.37]At the age of thirty-six, she took her own life. [01:18.37]She has been dead since 1962. [01:22.49]Still, her fame continues to grow.

[02:22.94]In the 1950s, many Americans believed sex was a very private subject. [02:29.84]People often severely judged those who were sexually appealing. [02:34.54]Into this atmosphere burst Marilyn Monroe. [02:38.51]As one critic said, her body was round in all the right places. [02:44.34]She wore her clothes like skin. [02:47.52]When she walked, she moved her lower body in a way that few other actresses had done. [02:53.95]Her voice was soft and breathy. [02:57.42]She soon became America's golden girl.

[03:13.93]Her birthplace was not far from the Hollywood movie studios where she would someday be a star. [03:21.93]Her mother, Gladys Baker, suffered from mental problems. [03:26.58]Often the mother had to be treated in a hospital for long periods of time. [03:32.58]Her daughter was sent to live with a number of different people. [03:37.21]The actress later would describe her stays with these Foster families as sometimes very unhappy. [03:45.78]During the worst experiences, she would go to a movie theater. [03:50.58]There the young Norma Jean escaped into the make-believe world of movies. [03:56.72]She would act all the movie parts after she went to a movie. [04:01.45]She told this to a long time friend, actor Ted Jordan, who later wrote a book about her. [04:09.39]By the time she was seventeen, Marilyn was trying very hard to be a movie actress. [04:16.71]She finally was able to get an actors' agent to help her. [04:21.41]He got 20th Century Fox Company to give Marilyn parts in some movies it produced. [04:28.20]Marilyn continued to change the way she had looked as Norma Jean. [04:33.14]She had an operation to improve the appearance of her nose. [04:37.45]Her eyes were made to appear larger. [04:40.84]She began using a great deal of bright red lipstick on her mouth. [04:45.88]Marilyn may have worked more to improve her appearance [04:50.48]than to improve her performance in acting classes. [04:55.08]Some people at Twentieth Century Fox said she did not like to work at all. [05:01.17]She appeared in only one movie. [05:03.65]And she had only one line to speak in that.
