BI LO JE TO U AVGUSTU I T WAS IN AUGUST. 108 | Avgust» August 5. AVGUST AUGUST 1962. Zbogom, Merilin Tog dana glumica Merilin Monro pronađena je mrtva u svom domu u Los Anđelesu. Nakon kratke istrage, policija Los Angelesa zaključila je da je njenu smrt „prouzrokovalo predoziranje sedativima i da je verovatno u pitanju samoubistvo“. Merilin Monro je rođena kao Norma Džin Mortenson u Los Anđelesu 1. juna 1926. Tačno 20 godina kasnije potpisala je kratkoročni ugovor sa kompanijom 20th Century Fox, uzimajući ime sa kojim će doživeti svetsku slavu. Snimila je nekoliko filmova, a zatim se vratila manekenstvu, slavno pozirajući gola za kalendar 1949. Pažnju je počela da privlači kao glumica 1950. nakon što se pojavila u manjim ulogama u filmovima Džungla na asfaltu i Sve o Evi . Međunarodnu slavu stekla je kao seks-simbol ulogama u ostvarenjima kao što su Muškarci više vole plavuše, Kako se udati za milionera i Nema posla kao što je šou biznis. Film Sedam godina vernosti prikazao je njene komičarske talente i poslao je pravo u legendu klasičnom scenom u kojoj stoji iznad rešetke podzemne železnice, dok joj vetar podiže belu haljinu. Do 1961. godine Monroova je, shrvana depresijom, bila pod stalnom negom psihijatra. Sve nestabilnija u poslednjim mesecima svog života, živela je kao samotnjak u svom domu u Los Anđelesu. Ipak, decenijama nakon prevremene smrti, Merilin Monro ostaje nedostižna ikona. GOODBYE, MARILYN Actress and model Marilyn Monroe was found dead in her Los Angeles home on 5th August, 1962. After a brief investigation, Los Angeles police concluded that her death was “caused by a self-administered overdose of sedative drugs and that the mode of death is probable suicide.” Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson in Los Angeles on 1st June, 1926. It was 20 years later that she signed a short-term contract with Twentieth Century-Fox and took the screen name Marilyn Monroe. She received a few bit parts before returning to modelling and famously posing nude for a calendar in 1949. It was only in 1950 that she began attracting attention as an actress, after appearing in supporting roles in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve. Monroe gained international fame for her sex-symbol roles in the films Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire and There’s No Business Like Show Business. The Seven-Year Itch showcased her comedic talents and features the classic scene where she stands over a subway grating and has her white skirt billowed up by the wind from a passing train. By 1961, beset by depression, Monroe was under constant psychiatric care. Increasingly erratic during the final months of her life, she lived as a virtual recluse in her Los Angeles home. Marilyn remains a major cultural icon decades after her death.
