Marilyn Monroe (English: Marilyn Monroe,1926 June1-1962 August 5) is one of the most famous film actresses in the 20th century. She is the most popular woman in the world, a beauty recognized all over the world, a pioneer of women's real liberation, and the origin of the word "sexy" is the perfect goddess in many people's minds. Every moment in this world, she can lead to endless topics and talk for decades. This beautiful woman, like a meteor, crossed the sky of the world with her life and left an unforgettable scenery. She is a brilliant comedian, who knows how to use comedy to achieve results, and subtly subverts people's previous sexist views on female money worship. Her exquisite expressive force and slightly neurotic unique acting skills conquered countless audiences in her later period, and also changed the film company's imprisonment of actors' performance potential forever. Her moving performance style and strange decline in the prime of life have become the eternal sexy symbol of the sexy goddess in the hearts of fans and the representative figure of pop culture. Monroe's legendary position in Hollywood history is unparalleled. She represents eternal charm, unparalleled elegance and entertainment spirit. She has a great influence on the life, culture and fashion of ordinary people, and also on the celebrities we are familiar with today. The cultural forces behind Monroe are Michael Jackson, Madonna, Lady Gaga, andy warhol and joyce carol oates. Marilyn Monroe's legend has always inspired a large number of contemporary artists, musicians, designers and social reformers, because of her rich personal experience, great achievements and contributions, which made her famous in history and had a far-reaching impact on world popular culture. Although she is not tall, she deserves to be a sister in the global entertainment circle. She is sweet, smart and fashionable. This legendary idol is loved by loyal fans and sought after by the global media, and smiles at everyone he meets. Monroe's iconic blonde hair, beauty spot and red lips have long been an elegant and classic female image in Hollywood. She constantly encourages modern girls to build and maintain self-confidence to pursue their dreams. She was named the second place in "Top Ten Heroes and Idols of the 20th Century" by Time magazine, second only to John F. Kennedy. People magazine ranked 15 among the "30 greatest women of the 20th century", with Helen Keller as the first. The American Popular Culture Guide said: "As a symbol of American popular culture, Monroe has almost no rivals in popularity, only a few of them include Elvis Presley and Mickey Mouse ... That star has never inspired such a wide range of emotions-from desire to pity, from jealousy to regret." The Smithsonian Institution listed her as one of "the 100 greatest Americans of all time", and in Variety and VH 1, Monroe ranked in the top ten. Hundreds of books about Monroe have been published, and many movies, plays, operas and songs have always been about her. She is still a value brand: her image and name are authorized to hundreds of products, and she appears in advertisements of multinational companies, such as Miss Buddha, Chanel, Mercedes-Benz and Absolute Vodka. 1999, she was selected as the sixth largest actress in a century by the American Film Institute. In addition, the artist Warhol's "Two Pictures of Marilyn Monroe" has also become a representative work of pop art, and there is also a cocktail called Marilyn Monroe, which organically combines the bright red color, bitter taste and sweet taste of Kimberly, and seems to embody the colorful and complicated life of Marilyn Monroe. Monroe's sexiness is a mixture of innocence, nobility, elegance, purity and sweetness, which reveals the temperament of "being far-sighted but not ridiculous" from the inside out. This may be due to the years she spent in the orphanage. For Monroe, the low-level sexiness comes from the body and the high-level sexiness comes from the soul. Later, this woman, whose stage name is Marilyn Monroe, started an era, starting with Iraqis. "Gentlemen love blondes!" You don't need to remember that any of her films, including all about eve, The Seven-Year Itch, Passion, etc., are all important and colorful names in the world film history. I don't remember her three marriages, even though one of her husbands is Arthur Miller, an American literature master who lived for 90 years and the author of Death of a Salesman. I don't remember her performing in Korea and being warmly welcomed by 100,000 American troops. Some American soldiers even cried on the spot. I don't remember that Bruce Lee, who also caused a sensation in the world, died ten years later. Many media, newspapers and magazines around the world compare and introduce her. I don't remember that Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking are her super fans; I don't remember that Hemingway, an American writer, was her lifelong best friend. I don't remember Soviet leader Khrushchev's special visit to the United States to see her; I don't remember the Iranian king and his wife, Queen Farah, visiting Fox Company, hoping to see her performance. I don't remember Queen Elizabeth II inviting her to dinner in the palace. I don't remember Zhang Wei, an old scientist in China, and Xichuan, a great poet, worshipped her. I don't remember Elvis pursuing her; I don't remember that Michael Jackson often wrote songs to her; I don't remember Madonna's debut, and Chanel became popular because of her; You don't have to remember the famous prints of andy warhol, the father of pop music. Even you don't have to remember that she is an actress, a star, a century giant beyond the times! It is no exaggeration to say that she is the most successful and famous female artist in the world. She, a gorgeous blonde, makes all evil thoughts in the world fall apart with an innocent smile like an elf. "Give me a pair of high heels and I will conquer the world." Who dares to swear like that? Who else but Monroe? In the list of the highest income of deceased celebrities, Monroe and Bruce Lee both made the list.
Childhood Monroe
Even today, she is still the most influential actress in the world. She is still an eternal reference. Countless actresses and pop stars imitate her and regard her as an absolute model, hoping to perform like her and have the same voice as her. She led an era, but swept several eras.
Monroe's contribution to modern women's manners has transcendental significance, and all her later clothes are full of transcendental significance. Up to now, all female stars can find a little shadow of Monroe, close to the most commercially valuable Monroe. It can be said that Monroe wrote a myth with her 36 years of life. For the whole world, she is the eternal symbol of women. 1960, Monroe won the Golden Globe Award "Best Comedy Actress Award" for her outstanding performance in the film "Passion Like Fire".
1962, Monroe won the 19 world best actress award.
1999, she was selected as the sixth largest actress in a century by the American Film Institute.
In 2000, she was selected as the second among the "Top Ten Heroes Idols of the 20th Century" by Time magazine, second only to John F. Kennedy.
These two superstars have influenced the world, one has made great contributions and sensations in the music industry, and the other has made unparalleled achievements in the film and television industry, which has a great influence on future generations. The two can't be mentioned in the same breath. Among them, Michael Jackson ranks first among the top ten cultural idols of the earth in the past century, and Marilyn Monroe ranks fourth.
