There are few celebrities as beloved as Marilyn Monroe. Despite the fact that most of her current fans were not even alive during her lifetime, her image alone continues to sell millions of dollars worth of merchandise a year. She is an inspiration and an icon in the true sense of the word. Now, you can even carry her beautiful portrait on your personal bank checks.

Although she was born Norma Jean Mortenson, most of the world came to know her as the gorgeous and sexy Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn has been an icon for over 40 years and even the American Film Institute ranked her as the 6th greatest female star of all time.

Marilyn died at a very young age, but in the duration of her short life, she managed to make 32 movies. Some of those movies contain scenes that have gone on to become iconic. After all, who can forget her singing "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" or the famous billowing skirt scene in "The Seven Year Itch?"

Several of her films have turned into classics, as well. Movies like "Some Like it Hot", "The Misfits", "How to Marry a Millionaire", and "The Seven Year Itch" continue to be shown on televisions around the world every year.

With her sunny blond hair, her curvy figure, and her impeccable style, Marilyn had a sense of fashion and glamorous air about her that many have tried but few have succeeded in matching. Marilyn came onto the scene during the golden age of movies and they just don't make actresses like her anymore.
