Marilyn Monroe

Though known for her dumb blonde roles, Marilyn was a clever, complex actress with great talent, a wonderful singing voice and a reputation for emotional scenes off camera.

Though know for her extravagant made to fit stage drsses, in her private life she had much simpler tastes, and loved the outdoors.

"Sex is a part of nature. I go along with nature."
