Monroe's troubled private life received much attention.
In late 1955, Fox awarded her a new contract, which gave her more control and a larger salary.
Her last completed film was the drama The Misfits 1961.
Although the death was ruled a probable suicide, several conspiracy theories have been proposed in the decades following her death.
Marilyn Monroe born Norma Jeane Mortenson; June 1, 1926 — August 5, 1962 was an American actress and model.
Although she played a significant role in the creation and management of her public image throughout her career, she was disappointed at being typecast and underpaid by the studio.
