Marilyn Monroe, a name that needs no introduction, was a revolution. A superb model, who was often typecast as a ‘bimbo’ by Hollywood moguls and critics, was a self-educated, shrewd businesswoman. She crafted herself as a ‘dumb blonde’ and became the first female star to start her own film production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions (MMP).
She was a self-made woman who had a traumatic childhood and spent her time in foster homes. Born as Norma Jeane Mortenson, Marilyn’s mother had paranoid schizophrenia, because of which she was raised in foster homes. Not just a lonely childhood, Marilyn also overcame a stutter and dyslexia. Though her death is still a mystery to many, the actress bared her heart out in her last interview.
