MARILYN MONROE

Since her death no other movie star has been imitated more than Marilyn Monroe, real name Norma Jean Baker.  She is the original blonde bombshell, had she survived she would have been 86 today.

There has been so much written about Norma Jean, its hard to decipher what is really true. In death her name has been exploited by many.

The following photographs depict her at her very best and go some way to explain why she has become such an icon.

RIP Norma Jean
