Actress, model, and singer Marilyn Monroe was famous for
playing comic "blonde bombshell" characters. She became
one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early
1960s. Although she was a top-billed actress for only one
decade, her films grossed $200 million (equivalent to $2
billion in 2018) by the time of her unexpected death in
1962. More than half a century later, she continues to be
a major popular culture icon.
