Listening Marilyn Monroe

Bios
Today we tell about movie star Marilyn Monroe. She died many years ago, yet still is
one of the best known American women.

Her life as a child was like a bad dream. She lived with a number of different people,
and often was mistreated.

At age 16 Norma Jean married a sailor. But she soon ended that marriage. She
changed her hair color from brown to shining gold. And she changed her name to
Marilyn Monroe.

She wanted to be an actress. And she succeeded. She appeared in a number of


Hollywood movies. Millions of people went to see them. By the time Norma Jean had
reached the age of 26, her beautiful face and body earned her a place as one of
America's leading movie stars.

People continue to talk about what they feel is her strange death. Some people believe
she was murdered. Two investigations showed that she died as the result of too many
drugs.

Marilyn may have worked more to improve her appearance than to improve her
performance in acting classes. Some people at Twentieth Century Fox said she did not
like to work at all.

1AM16
She wanted to be accepted as a good actress. She went to the Actors' Studio school in
New York City with many serious actors. She thought she could change the way
people thought of her.

She also failed in her attempts at marriage. She admitted that she got married the
first time only to escape from being forced to live in a group home for children without
parents.

Marilyn returned to Hollywood. But things were different now. Friends said she was
drinking too much alcohol. They said she was taking too many drugs

GAEL
Many people said Marilyn Monroe never escaped her past. She continued to suffer
from the early, sad life of a little girl named Norma Jean.
