year-old Robertson said on the 60th anniversary of the network,
“My replacement will be my very capable son, Gordon, who will
take over as full-time host of the program.”

Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Mortenson)
(June 1, 1926 – August 4, 1962)

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.
