Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, rose to become one of the most iconic figures of 20th-century Hollywood. Her career began in the mid-1940s after she signed with 20th Century Fox, quickly gaining attention for her glamorous appearance and charismatic screen presence. By 1953, Monroe had cemented her status as a leading actress with breakthrough roles in films such as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire. Throughout the 1950s, she captivated audiences worldwide, becoming a symbol of beauty, charm, and the evolving culture of celebrity. Her distinct platinum blonde hair and signature breathy voice contributed to her enduring allure, making her a favorite subject for photographers and filmmakers alike.

During the peak of her career in the 1950s, Marilyn Monroe’s influence extended beyond film to fashion and popular culture. She became the face of glamour and sophistication during the post-World War II era, embodying the optimistic spirit of the American Dream. Iconic moments such as her performance of “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953) and her legendary subway grate scene in The Seven Year Itch (1955) remain etched in cinematic history. Monroe’s style inspired countless trends in makeup and clothing, setting standards that persist in today’s beauty industry. By 1959, she had secured her legacy not only as an actress but also as a major cultural icon, influencing generations of performers and fans.

Despite her public success, Monroe’s life was also marked by her ambition to be recognized as a serious actress. She founded her own production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, in 1955 to gain creative control over her projects, an uncommon move for women in Hollywood at the time. This bold step led to acclaimed roles in films like Bus Stop (1956) and Some Like It Hot (1959), the latter earning her a Golden Globe Award. Marilyn Monroe passed away in 1962, but her legacy endures, continually celebrated through exhibitions, retrospectives, and media coverage.

When Charles Stratton was born in 1838, he was a normal baby of slightly above-average weight. But at six months old and 25 inches tall, he simply stopped growing. By the time Stratton was four, showman P.T. Barnum had heard about the mysterious boy who wouldn't grow, and promptly offered Stratton's parents three dollars a week to let him display the boy at his American Museum in New York City.
