Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe was the blonde bombshell like no other who lit up the screen in the years following World War II.

But on August 4, 1962, the 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' star was found dead at the age of 36. The circumstances of her death continue to be surrounded by mystery and if she were still here today, she would be just three years short of her 100th birthday.
