Death of Marilyn Monroe. On August 5, 1962, Marilyn Monroe died of a barbiturate overdose in Los Angeles. She was a major sex symbol and one of the most popular Hollywood stars during the 1950s. She was a top-billed actress for a decade, and her films grossed $200 million by 1962.

There is no set standard for how fast a specific individual horse can run, and there are even variations between individuals of the same breed and bloodlines. The Ultimate Horse Site reports that the average horse can gallop at approximately 30 miles per an hour, give or take a couple of miles for the individual horse. Older horses, or those that are not well conditioned or have health problems, will probably gallop significantly slower than 30 miles per hour.
The gallop is the fastest gait of the horse, averaging about 40 to 48 kilometres per hour (25 to 30 mph). The speed of the canter varies between 16 and 27 kilometres per hour (10 and 17 mph) depending on the length of the stride of the horse. A variation of the canter, seen in western riding, is called a lope, and generally is quite slow, no more than 13â19 kilometres per hour (8â12 mph).
