It wasn't her idea (Norma Jeane Baker Mortenson), it was her studio's (Twentieth Century-Fox); they said her last name (Mortenson) was difficult to know how to pronounce, so she settled on her grandmother's maiden name, Monroe, but that was awkward with Norma Jeane so it was suggested that she be named after a 20s Broadway star who was called Marilyn- Thus, Marilyn Monroe was born.

Marilyn Monroe! For starters! But Marilyn wasn't necessarily "Physically" different! A lot of people said such as Tony Curtis ( Note: Tony Curtis worked with Marilyn in "Some like it Hot" and had a rumored affair, and also claimed to have met her in the mid-late forties before she became famous!) she was just like any other girl with a pretty face (in more polite terms) he once said. But she was known for her commitment to acting and her constant feminine, venerability, and child like ways!
quite a few, of deceased actresses she is very popular. By far the best book on the subject is the encyclopedic Marilyn Encyclopedia- one volune, hard to get but then so is native Gold! The book covers every conceivable angle of her life and death and even the details of who dressed her when she was laid out- the gown used, and various non-movie jobs she once held- such as with the Radio Plane Corporation ( making radio controlled drones). as stated it is the Bible on Marilyn. One wishes something similar, but ideally it would have to be posthumous to get ALL the Life Span on my fav orite actress, the Rose of Fair Italy. She has resisted a number of biographical offers and I don:t blame her, but some day.... well the truth will come out.
She is an icon in the pop culture world! For many reasons but mainly because of her commitment to acting, and letting the Public seem to take ownership toward her. Which is why I think she had such a strong commitment toward her fans and her work. She also was also considered a true artist in makeup. She knew how to make her features pop! She is a fashion icon as well! She once said- "I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else." -Marilyn Monroe
