Known for her signature blonde hair and red lipstick, Marilyn Monroe is easily one of the most iconic celebrities of all time.
Born Norma Jean Baker, the actress and model had a tough childhood that caused her to move from one foster home to another. Not even her marriage at age of 16, could bring the stability she lacked as a child.
It wasn't until 1944 that she truly found happiness in life. While working in a military factory and was introduced to a photographer from the U.S. Army Air Force's First Motion Picture Unit.
Shortly after, she became one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, but that only hid the troubled girl who still lurked underneath the fame.
Monroe committed suicide in 1962, but is still remembered as a pop culture icon and sex symbol. Most people have forgotten her troublesome roots from before she was famous.
