Norma Jeane Mortenson was working in an armaments factory at the beginning of the 1940s when a photographer noticed her. A contract with a modeling agency quickly followed and then a job at 20th Century Fox. She had her teeth done and from then on, bleached her hair blonde. Marilyn Monroe was born!

She made her breakthrough in 1950 with the image of a lascivious beauty. Her films “Niagara”, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and “The Seven Year Itch” became worldwide successes. Nude photos which appeared in wall calendars and later in “Playboy” also cemented her status as a sex symbol. So the Marilyn Monroe quiz is filled to the brim with pop culture!

Her ukulele-playing Sugar Kane in “Some Like It Hot” became a legendary movie character. Billy Wilder’s comedy earned Marilyn Monroe the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Leading Role. “I Wanna Be Loved by You” and “I’m Through with Love” are unforgettable musical hits from the classic. Both songs were sung by the star herself.

Just three years after “Some Like It Hot” became an international box office hit, Marilyn Monroe died. She succumbed to an overdose of barbiturates, although the exact circumstances of her death have not been clarified to this day and are the subject of many theories. Most recently, the Netflix film “Blonde” with Ana de Armas shed light on the darker side of Marilyn Monroe’s life as a film star.
