Probably the most celebrated of all actresses, Marilyn Monroe signed her first contract in 1947 with Twentieth Century Fox for …can you believe… a mere $125 a week.  By 1953, Marilyn had become a genuine box office drawing card both as an accomplished actress and an on screen sex symbol.  Though Marilyn made only 30 films in her lifetime, her legendary status and mysticism will remain with film history and in the hearts of fans forever.
