Marilyn Monroe: What An Inspiration (And The Definition "Hollywood")
Alfred Eisenstaedt

Marylin Monroe is an icon of fashion, style, and intellect. While her platinum curls are legendary, her career and determination are also huge factors of who Marylin Monroe is. Monroe captured the screen from the 1940's to 1960's with her beauty and acting; she was a star for the public and an idol of the news. With her love for animals and people of any background, Marylin was a true humanitarian and lover.

Coming from an abusive, scathing childhood, Marylin Monroe had it hard from the beginning. Starting her famous career as a broke model, Marylin had the determination and perseverance of a bulldog. While big film industries looked over her small resume, Monroe continued to fight for her spot on the silver screen by taking small roles in unsuccessful movies. Marylin worked hard to make a name for herself by modeling and taking acting classes to establish her talent.

Fame came to Monroe from her roles in "Some Like It Hot", "Gentlemen Prefer Blonds", and "The Seven Year Itch". Even after hitting fame, Marilyn continued to stand up what she believed in. Although Marylin Monroe was married three times, she trusted that love was out there.

Dying in 1962 of a barbiturate overdose, Marylin Monroe's death was publicly mourned. Her funeral was widely attended and her passing was recognized as a tragic, historical event. To this day, Marylin Monroe has influenced fashion icons and starlets with her style and aesthetic. So, as you go on, remember that Marylin Monroe had to work hard for her future too. Keep her way of life as a mantra and as an inspiration.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
