Hey followers!

It's time for a new blog post. This week it will be about MM's carreer. I don't think that you know all about it. Don't worry, I won't take it long. It's going to be like a summary. Let's start!
As I mentioned on the previous blog post, Marilyn Monroe started her carreer at the agent The Blue Book as a model. In a short time, she became the most popular and successful model at the agent. Her pictures got published on so many magazines.

The director of 20th Century Fox, Ben Lyon, heard about Marilyn's popularity and managed her a short try-out. After the try-out, Ben and Marilyn filled a contract what was covering 6 months. Ben Lyon was one of the people who changed her life. Changing her name from Norma Jeane to Marilyn Monroe was Ben's idea.

First two movies she played were "Scudda Hoo! Scudda Hay!" and "Dangerous Years" . Because of the movies not getting enough attention, Marilyn stayed away from the cinema sector for a while. Afterwards, Fox Company didn't sign the contract with her.

Marilyn continued being a model and also started acting lessons. She got the chance of singing at the movie "Ladies of the Chorus". Then she got short roles in the movies "The Asphalt Jungle" and "All About Eve". In two years, she got in front of the cameras in the movies "We 're Not Married!", "Love Nest", "Let's Make It Legal" and "As Young As You Feel".

RKO used MM's potencial in the movie "Clash by Night" by Fritz Lang. After the success of the movie, they gave a role to MM at the comedy film "Monkey Business".

Finally, MM became the headliner in the movie "Don't Bother to Knock" as a babysitter having mental problems.

By clicking on the movie names, you will directly go to its page on IMDb. Also you can find out more about her carrier on IMDb. Here is the link for that.

This is one of my favourite photos of her. You can find the original one and many great photos here.

Hey my followers!
This week my post is about Marilyn Monroe's childhood.

She was born on June 1, 1926 in the Los Angeles Country Hospital. She was the third child of Gladys Pearl Baker as the name of Norma Jeane Mortenson. As in most of the biographies written by her, Charles Stanley Gifford was her biological father, but some writers wrote that Martin Edward Mortenson, the second husband of Gladys, was her father.  Robert Kermit Baker and Berniece Baker were the two children of Gladys from her first marriage.

Because of the mental illness of Gladys and being taken to the hospital, Marilyn had to stay at orphanages and with some families who adopted her.

Marilyn's uncle Marion also stayed at the hospital and when he got out, he hung himself. Her grandparents Della and Otis had some mental problems and got through so many difficulties.

Norma Jeane stayed with a religious family until she got 7. After a while, Gladys rent a house and Norma decided to live with her. But when Gladys got worse by the illness, Norma Jeane moved to Grace McKee's house, Gladys's best friend. In 1935, Grace got married and Norma Jeane got back to the orphanage.

After two years, Grace took Norma back again, but Norma didn't stay long with them. Because of Grace's husband doing sexual abuse on Norma, she was sent to live with her aunt Olive Brunings. After a while, she had to move to Grace's aunt Ana Lower's house, because of the attack she got from Olive's sons.

When Ana got health problem, Norma had to go back to Grace's house. She was 16 years old and she started flirting ith the neighbour's son James Doughtery, aged 21. Then they got married, but after 4 years they broke up.

After their divorce, Norma started her carreer as a model at the agent The Blue Book. She also got in some acting and singing contests.

Here is a picture of Marilyn Monroe's childhood.

Hi my followers! It's time to start blogging about my topic. Hope you will like it.

Norma Jeane Mortenson was born in 1926 at Los Angeles Country Hospital. Well, now I think some of you are asking yourselves 'Who is Norma Jeane Mortenson? And what's she doing on this page?'. If you are one of those thinking like that, you don't know anything about Marilyn Monroe and her life.
Norma Jeane Mortenson was a normal girl living with her mother. Because of her mother's mental problems, Norma Jeane had a hard childhood. Norma Jeane was trying to escape from the problems she's fight with. Her aunt gave her the idea of getting married with someone so she wouldn't have to be adopted by a family while her mother was taken to the hospital. Norma Jeane got married to their neighbour's son, while she was 16. This was her first marriage, and with that her carrier got started.

In the year 1945 with a snapsot by a photographer, she became a beautiful and a successful model. In the following year, 1946, Norma Jeane continued her carreer as a platinum shade of blonde and her new name Marilyn Monroe.

Marilyn Monroe started her carreer as a model, but also after a while she got involved in acting and singing. She played the comedic and dramatic roles in the movie sector. She had so many concerts and also she got on stage for public figures.

Here is a comment about Marilyn Monroe from the offical page of her, which is one of my favourite pages;
"She inspired musicians, writers and artists like Madonna, Elton John, Lady Gaga, Joyce Carol Oates and Andy Warhol to name just a few with her timeless glamour and extraordinary character. More relevant today than ever Marilyn Monroe lived a life and left a legacy that continues to excite fans all over the world."

Hi guys!

First of all, you have to know that I’m new on blogging and don’t have huge expectations about me and my page. Brace yourself for any silly posts and bad jokes.

Well, now it’s the time to introduce myself. You can call be as ‘BG’. I’m a girl from Turkey and aged 18. I’m a senior student at a high school. I’m also a big fan of Marilyn Monroe. I’ve been affected of her for few years. She is a role model for many ladies and became symbols of few subjects. I’m also one of those ladies who take Marilyn Monroe as a role model. I have some collections about her. I have two books about her biography, a huge poster of her in my room, some pieces of clothing with her pictures on it and also I got some stuff with her name, signature and picture from my friends as presents.

The reason that I started using a blog is my English teacher, Ms.Johnson. She gave an assignment to us of creating a blog page about anything which we would like to write until the end of this school year.

I thought so long about what to choose as my blog topic. I had few options, but then I realized that Marilyn Monroe would be best one. She have been covering a huge part of my life. My blog page would be different from the others. I’m going to put every kind of information about her on one page. The other pages I’ve found out were just about a specific topic and I don’t want to have a page like those.

I never had a blog page and didn’t have any friend who had one, but I’d been very curious of how the blogs work and what were the bloggers doing  to write on the blog page. Now, I’m becoming one of those bloggers and I will see how the blog page will change my life.

And guys here is the first thing I want to share with you. This scene has been very popular since she became a star.
