Her name alone conjures up memories of beauty and tragedy. Marilyn. So talented, so troubled and so profoundly sexual to all those who remember her.
Future generations will know her no differently.
Happy Birthday, Marilyn Monroe
The enigmatic star, underrated as an actress, stole every scene she was in, from her bit part in All About Eve to her Oscar-worthy role in Some Like It Hot.
In her personal life, Monroe made headlines whether she was singing "Happy Birthday" to the president, getting married or showing up late to the set.
It's no wonder Marilyn fascinates, inspires (see Lindsay Lohan Playboy photos, or the below pic Tweeted by Lady Gaga today) and mesmerizes to this day.
It's also no wonder that the late Monroe became the focal point of the film My Week With Marilyn or NBC's new Broadway-themed series Smash.
Marilyn's career, and life, was pure theater.
Lady Gaga as Marilyn Monroe in a Twitter pic she sent out to celebrate the actress' birthday. Monroe would've been 86 on 6/1/12.
Michelle Williams channels Marilyn Monroe on this cover of Vogue. It's not random. She portrays the icon in a movie.
Kate Upton channels Marilyn Monroe in the March 2012 issue of Muse. Wow.
In this Lindsay Lohan nude photo, the actress tries to look just like Marilyn Monroe. She actually does a pretty good job of it, doesn't she? Girl is still a skank, though!
