Either way, she still has put a huge impact on society.
Being an icon of the Fifties, it's amazing that she's still seen as one today. One example is Madonna. She tried to carry on Marilyn Monroe's image during the start of her career with "Material Girl," resulting in a music video that was a spitting image of Marilyn Monroe's movie "Something's Got To Give." Madonna is not the only example. There millions are Marilyn Monroe impersonators around the world that dress like her, walk like her, talk like her and have that infamous bleach blonde hair as she was so well known for. Some people go as far to get there name changed. But one of the biggest things that still keep her alive today is her ever-growing memorabilia. Anything with her face on it sells like wild fire. From t-shirts to purses, postcards, calendars, rare magazines, posters, Halloween costumes, cufflinks, and many books. Also, every year on her birthday, California based Nova Wines releases limited edition bottles of "Marilyn Merlot." All kinds of Marilyn Memorabilia is being sold in stores and online. Over 1400 items are up for auction at the infamous site, Ebay.com and many of her magazines range from $20 to a whopping $1,000. All of her movies have made her stand out as either the "Snobby Rich Blonde" to the "Fancy Cowgirl" and people have envied her talents. She has impacted pop culture so much in such a little time with her image of sex and beauty that that is why we still think of her today. .
Tragically Marilyn Monroe died at an early age of 36. Her death still seems to haunt people and the questions that lurk with it. Was it really suicide? Does evidence point to someone else? Ever since her untimely death in 1962, her case had been a mystery and many theories have been made. She was filed as a suicide victim from an overdose of sleeping pills, but evidence suggests that it's more than that and each new theory has its strong points and its weaknesses, but not everyone is able to agree on what the one true explanation is.
