“just because you fail once, it doesn't mean you're going to fail at everything. keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself because if you don't, then who will? so keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”

American actress and model

Marilyn Monroe was an American actress and model, active in the 1950s and early 1960s. She became known for comic blonde-bombshell roles and for her status as a major sex symbol of the period. She was a top-billed film star for a decade, and her screen image came to stand for the era's sexual revolution. By the time of her death in 1962, her films had grossed $200 million.
