Marilyn Monroe had an indescribable, luminous on-screen presence that quickly found favor with the movie-going public. In 1953, the overwhelming back-to-back wallop of Niagara, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and How to Marry a Millionaire sent Monroe’s star ascending through the proverbial roof and into some stellar uncharted galaxy. This class will outline her life story and show how a lonely orphan, Norma Jean Baker, attained almost mythical celebrity status as the actress Marilyn Monroe, the blond preferred by the world.
