Marilyn Monroe Remembered as Hollywood Icon 60 Years After Death

News summary

Marilyn Monroe remains an enduring icon of Hollywood despite a career and life marked by tragedy and complexity. Her death in 1962 at age 36 was officially ruled a probable suicide, but speculation has long surrounded her relationships, including rumored connections to President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert Kennedy. Monroe famously serenaded JFK with a memorable "Happy Birthday" song at a 1962 Madison Square Garden fundraiser, a moment that further cemented her association with the political spotlight. Her image as the quintessential blonde bombshell was immortalized by iconic photographs such as the famous skirt-blowing scene from "The Seven Year Itch," which, despite its fame, did not appear in the final film. Monroe's life story—marked by early hardships, mental health struggles, and high-profile romances—continues to fascinate and inspire tributes decades after her death. She is celebrated as a symbol of both glamour and vulnerability, influencing culture and art well into the present day.
