Why Marilyn Monroe Lives On Forever


Marilyn Monroe had the ideal look that everyone wanted to have back in the 1950’s. She rose to fame very quickly and was idolized so much by the public.

Monroe was an American actress and was labeled as a sex symbol within the 50’s. She was born June 1st, 1926 and died August 4th, 1962.

I was shocked to find out that she was 5’5 as she seemed so much taller in photos, I would have thought she was 5’7. Marilyn had short blonde hair and a face that shined in the spotlight.

One rumor that stuck with me was that she really wanted to get pregnant when she was a live and that sadden me as she died so young. She could have experienced more and made more movies.

Monroe could have spent more time with her family and grown into an older blossoming woman. One thing that people loved was that she was kind and you could feel like she was in a sense your friend.

She seemed as she was not all about the money but all for making memories and living life to the fullest. You could tell she was a gentle soul.

Marilyn had the doe eyed look but radiated a sexy vibe to her. She had charisma and you could tell she was a joyful person.

She was all every woman wanted to be and men all wanted to meet her or be her partner. Which is understandable as she was rich and famous.

Monroe was in many movies within her lifespan but her most famous one was called, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.” It is unclear which one of her movies she acted in first, but you can tell she made great effort with each one.

When watching her interviews, she answers with such pose and carries herself with lots of confidence. She always looked so beautiful and presentable.

Marilyn left behind some quotes but the one that struck me the most was, “Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.”

I have to agree that imperfection is beauty, it would be so boring if everyone looked the same and did not have any quirks to them. We would have no cool differences and enjoy the small things such as one can tan skin, another can have pale skin, or someone has a big nose.

It is better to be fun and have different interests as you can bond over the said interests or be intrigued by anothers. I am rambling but Marilyn Monroe is an icon and should be celebrated for years to come.

She was lovely and still deserves to be remembered and have lots of attention.

The Story of Hilliard Brooks Jr's Murder

In 1950 on August 13, a 22-year old man named Hilliard Brooks Jr. was murdered on a bus after he was accused of making a disturbance.  Back in these days what was the disturbance, was he talking back because he had to stick up for himself or was it because he was protecting someone else?  Some reports were very unjust and plain unfair in my opinion.  The reason he was accused of this was because be refused to leave and enter from the rear bus as Jim Crow wanted him to.  This bus driver called the police and a white officer shot this black man and wounded two people in the process.  All because Jim Crow and the bus driver were trying to be big bosses and choose violence when they woke up that day.  Brooks left behind a pregnant wife and several young children. Even though many eye witnesses reported that the shooting was unnecessary, the officer faced no charges.  After this many people were outraged over how this all went down and set the stage for the...

Why Did Narrators From The 1950s Always Sound The Same?

Commercial radio broadcasting started within the 1920's and moved through the 1950's era.  Soon enough people listened less to the radio and went for televisions as they became cheaper.  This is because TV's back in the early 50's were very expensive that only the rich got to watch any shows or interviews. As you know lots of people tuned into the radio to hear about politics, Broadway shows, news broadcasts, and more to hear about what is going on in the world.  What is shocking to find out is that people who were in radio broadcasts and in motion picture films sounded so similar was because they were taught to speak a certain way.  Many people who taught what is called the transatlantic accent in radio and motion picture studios at the time.  When the radio was introduced to the world, microphones sounded tinnier and had a very different frequency.  Many companies wanted their speakers to adopt and accent so that they were heard clearly by the public and ...

Bad Boys in the 1950s

These type of men/teens were the most idolized people in the 1950's along with some celebrities.  One celebrity in particular that had the bad boy style and his name was James Dean.  This type of outfit melted the girls/women's hearts at the time. Males would wear a leather or denim jackets, white or patter button up top underneath, blue or light jeans, either a quiff hair or leave it natural with some gel in it.  I think of the outfits that Johnny Depp would wear in his Crybaby movie with his slicked back hair, leather jacket, and a rebellious but hot vibe.  Today we label these type of people as bad boys but back in the 1950's they were called the greasers and apart of the greaser subculture.  Looking back at these photos you never saw older men wearing this style, it was mostly teenagers and young adults.  Those who dressed this way were definitely very popular in high school. Let's also not forget they added a cigarettes to compliment the look. If any o...
