Marilyn Monroe would have celebrated her hundredth birthday on June 1, 2026. The American actress and singer, born in Los Angeles as Norma Jeane Mortenson, remains one of the most prominent icons of 1950s Hollywood. BBC World ↗
The anniversary is being marked by the media, fans, and cultural institutions alike. According to available information, fans of the actress dressed up in her iconic style, with a white dress and a platinum blonde wig. In Los Angeles, meanwhile, the Academy Museum opened the exhibition "Marilyn Monroe: Hollywood Icon," focused on her famous costumes and her image as a film star. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
During her career, Monroe made roughly thirty films. Among those most often recalled are The Misfits, Some Like It Hot, and Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Besides acting and singing, she became a fashion icon and a symbol of Hollywood glamour, though her personal life was marked by breakups, insecurity, and public interest in her relationships. idnes.cz ↗
Both Czech and foreign articles marking the anniversary also recall her three marriages and the men who influenced her life. Mentioned among them are a playwright, a sports idol, and a president. Other articles return to the circumstances of her death and to documents suggesting it may not have resulted from murder, but from a doctor's error. lidovky.cz ↗
A hundred years since her birth thus brings not only a look back at her famous roles, but also new attempts to separate the real life of Marilyn Monroe from the myth that began forming around her already during her career. denik.cz ↗
