1. Marilyn Monroe was born on the 1st of June 1926 and she died on 5th August 1962 aged 36. She died because of a barbiturate overdose, barbiturate is a drug that effects the nervous system. Marilyn Monroe spent most of her childhood in care and when she grew up she became a model, which led to a film contract in 1946 with Twentieth century fox, they helped her produce her own film. I think Marilyn Monroe is an anti-heroine because she is a leading character in a film and she is a model. She lacks traditional heroic qualities because she is not alive such as idealism and fortitude.I think she has courage because you need courage to become a model and an actor and she needed courage most of all to write her quote (up in the corner). To write the quote and then publish it needs courage, nobility and a moral goodness and I think she has them. Marilyn Monroe Marilyn's favourite colours are red, white, beigeandblack. She is not the best person you will think of because she was the first person to sell her body for sex but she was the first person to quit her studio grounds film so people could have their artistic rights and freedom. She was the first female actress to set up her own production company now so many females have their own production companies.
