It was said that Marilyn was an occasional smoker. Although, looking at some of these rare photos it appears the habit was more than occasional. The first time Marilyn was seen sporting a cigarette on screen was in Right Cross (1950), though in her very first screen test she lit and put out a cigarette. She appeared on at least one magazine cover smoking a cigarette, and she is smoking in bed in the opening scene of Niagara (1953).
Marilyn Monroe was born as Norma Jeane Mortensen (later baptized as Norma Jeane Baker) on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles, California. During her all-too-brief life, Marilyn Monroe overcame a difficult childhood to become one of the world's biggest and most enduring sex symbols. During her career, Monroe's films grossed more than $200 million. Monroe died of a drug overdose on August 5, 1962, at only 36 years old.
