Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe (real name: Norma Jeane Mortenson), was a Golden Globe award winning American actress, model and sex symbol. She was known for her comedic skills and screen presence and became one of the most popular movie stars of the 1950s and early 1960s. At the later stages of her career, she worked toward serious roles with a measure of success. However, she faced disappointments in her career and personal life during her later years. Her death has been subject to speculation and conspiracy theories.
Betty Grable
Betty Grable was born Elizabeth Ruth Grable in St. Louis, Missouri and she was the youngest of three children. Her mother, who insisted that one of her daughters become a star, propelled her into acting. For her first role, as a chorus girl in the movie Happy Days (1929), Grable was only 13 years old but, because the chorus line performed in blackface, it was impossible to tell how old she was. Her mother Lillian soon gave her a makeover, which included dying her hair platinum blonde.
