She then got a contract with 20th Century Fox which is how she started her career.

After a year off in 1958, Marilyn returned to the screen and was delightful in this comedy; Some like it Hot (1959) with Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. This film was an abosolute hit, with Curtis and Lemmon pretending to be females in an all-girl band, so they can get work. Marilyn Monroe was voted 'Sexiest Woman of the Century' by People Magazine {1999}. She was also Playboy "Sweetheart" of the month, December 1953
She started using the name Marilyn Monroe in 1946, but did not legally change it until 1956.
She often carried the book, "The Biography of Abraham Lincoln."
Most people may say she was a flirt, a tease, or even a whore but she was an incredible person and I wish I could've met her. She liked to read, listen to Bethoven and cared about nature and the animals. She may have used sex to get what she wanted either for publicity or to get a role in a movie but she showed millions of people she was a powerful woman. Every woman wanted to be her and every man wanted to be with her. Marilyn Monroe was and always will be a legend and my idole.
"a wise girl kisses but doesn't love, listens but doesn't believe and leaves before she is left."
