Known for playing comic "blonde bombshell" characters, Marilyn Monroe became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s and an emblem of the era's sexual revolution. She was a top-billed actress for over a decade, and her films grossed $200 million (equivalent to $2 billion in 2022) by her death in 1962.
