RIP Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe died in her home, 62 years ago today. She had taken an overdose of drugs. Her life had been difficult from birth, to a mentally disturbed mother and an absent father. She was reared in foster homes and orphanages and married young to find a home. She worked in a factory when her husband was away at the war, and began to get noticed for her good looks. She became ambitious to get on in films- and had genuine talent as well as beauty. But she became addicted to pills and had unhappy love affairs including one with President Kennedy.
