Biography
 On
June 29, 1956, Marilyn wed playwright Arthur Miller. The couple
met through Lee Strasberg, and friends reported she made him "giddy."
While they were married, Arthur wrote the part of Roslyn Taber
in 1961's The
Misfits especially for Marilyn.
The movie co-starred Clark Gable and Montgomery
Clift. Sadly, the marriage between Marilyn and Arthur
ended on January 20, 1961, and The
Misfits was to be Marilyn's
(and Gable's) last completed film.
At the 1962 Golden Globes, Marilyn was named female World Film
Favorite, once again demonstrating her widespread appeal.
Sadly, in a shocking turn of events on the early morning of
August 5, 1962, 36-year-old Marilyn died in her sleep at her
Brentwood, California home. The world was stunned. Marilyn's
vibrant spirit and beauty made it impossible to believe she
was gone. On August 8, 1962, Marilyn's body was laid to rest
in the Corridor of Memories, #24, at Westwood Memorial Park
in Los Angeles, California.
During her career, Marilyn made 30 films and left one, Something's
Got to Give, unfinished. She was
more than just a movie star or glamour queen. A global sensation
in her lifetime, Marilyn's popularity has extended beyond star
status to icon. Today, the name "Marilyn Monroe" is
synonymous with beauty, sensuality and effervescence. She remains
an inspiration to all who strive to overcome personal obstacles
for the goal of achieving greatness.
