HE INCREDIBLE LIFE AND TIME OF MARILYN MONROE TOUCHED US ALL. HER BEAUTY AND TALENT OFTEN MASKED THE REAL MARIYLN, BUT A LOT CAN BE LEARNED FROM HER MORE FAMOUS QUOTES. FOR EXAMPLE, ONE THAT IS VERY TELLING ABOUT MS. MONROE…“NO ONE EVER TOLD ME I WAS PRETTY WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL. ALL LITTLE GIRLS SHOULD BE TOLD THEY‘RE PRETTY, EVEN IF THEY AREN‘T" HOWEVER, WHEN SHE WAS TOLD SHE WASN’T THE STAR OF Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), SHE WAS QUOTED SAYING, “WELL WHATEVER I AM, I‘M STILL THE BLONDE." IN A PROVOCATIVE PUBLICITY PHOTO FOR THE FILM, MS. MONROE IS SEEN WEARING A FABULOUS GOLD RING WITH SEVERAL SPARLKLING DIAMONDS. GEM: 7 Brilliant-cut CZ Diamonds RING: Solid .925 Silver with brilliant 18K Gold plating Ring Sizes 5-10 Aside from her birth name of Norma Jeane Mortenson, she was baptized and mainly known throughout her life as Norma Jeane Baker. During her modeling days she was also known as Norma Jeane Dougherty (her first marriage name), and also as Jean Norman. When she signed with 20th Century-Fox, studio casting executive Ben Lyon had first chosen the name Carol Lind as her stage name, although she disliked that. Eventually she chose her mother's maiden name of Monroe. Three names were drawn up as possible stage names. The first was Norma Jeane Monroe, although that sounded awkward; the second was Jean Monroe, and the third was Marilyn Monroe, the latter first name being chosen by Lyon who thought Norma Jeane resembled famed stage actress Marilyn Miller. Norma Jeane liked Jean Monroe, for it preserved some of her name, but Lyon convinced her that Marilyn Monroe sounded more alliterative and so it was chosen. In the above photo, we see Marilyn Monroe wearing her famous earrings in the iconic publicity photo.
