Marilyn Monroe Picture Gallery

Photographs of a Sex Symbol

By , About.com Guide

Marilyn Monroe (1926 - 1962) was an iconic symbol in her own lifetime. Being a symbol often felt, for Marilyn, like her self was lost. She sought happiness in her personal life but never really found it there, either, nor did she find the respect for her acting that she longed for.

In this gallery, you'll find some photos of Marilyn that added to her mystique and popular image, and others that represent the more private, personal Marilyn.
