The Immortality of Marilyn Monroe
Marilyn Monroe was really an image of American pop culture. The actress, singer and example was known for her comedy skills and screen presence; however, her sex appeal became her signature. Monroe`s demeanor was notably controversial for its time. She finally rose to be one of the most popular movie stars of the 1950s.
Revered as a legendary Hollywood star, she is idolized throughout the public as a silver screen sex goddess. Today, celebrity women keep to imitate Monroe`s style, fashion and elegance, but few come near to the singularity of her stunning beauty and charming personality.
Madonna
Madonna has frequently said "to have been inspired" by Marilyn Monroe. Early in her career, she admitted in some interviews that she grew up idolizing the star. Madonna`s music video for "Material Girl" recreated Monroe`s "Diamonds Are a Girl`s Best Friend", a list from the 1950s movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes". The pop icon copied Marilyn`s pink robe and mimicked the intricate choreography as homage to her idol`s distinctive flavour and unique flirtatious attitude. In 1992, Madonna did a mockery of Marilyn`s birthday call to President Kennedy during a Saturday Night Live episode.
Christina Aguilera
In her recent "Ain`t no other man" video, Christina Aguilera imitates Marilyn Monroe. The picture is set in the 1950s with credits written in a retro font. Aguilera steps out of a car, cleverly labeled Baby Jane (as a credit to Bette Davis), dressed in a sparkling white dress topped off with a vintage hat set over her curly, blonde hair. Her next outfit features fur and a lot of extravagant jewelry, a clear reference to glamorous women in the 1950s, most notably, Marilyn Monroe. Like the picture for "Moulin Rouge", Christina Aguilera continues to mark the daring women who paved the route for her own work.
Lindsay Lohan
In an interview, Lindsay Lohan stated her want to hold the soldiery in Iraq. The singer said she was divine by the late Marilyn Monroe who amused the troops during the Korean War. "I wanted to do what Marilyn Monroe did, when she went and simply set up a present and did a concert for the troops all by herself. It`s so amazing seeing that one woman just going somewhere." Lohan`s controversial style of videos has kept media buzzing since her first album release. Along with other singers, she clearly admires the unique flair and grade of contention that Monroe thrived on.
A birthday song like no other
Marilyn Monroe famously sang "Happy Birthday" to President Kennedy in 1962. The call and the picture of the singer`s performance is a rare one that many generations have do to recognize. In fact, the call is frequently referenced in pop culture. It was presented at Prince Charles`s 50th birthday celebration in 1998. Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell parodied Monroe`s performance while changing the lyrics to "Happy Birthday Your Imperial Highness".
Marilyn Monroe set a style that had never been seen before. She used her artistic talent and sex appeal to make the world. She initiated a cult that has revolutionized the medicine and acting industries. Modern entertainers of today continue to imitate Marilyn Monroe`s style because it worked then and it works now. Monroe once said that her great ambition was "to make people comment on my fine dramatic performances". As she continues to be remembered and impersonated, her legend lives on. It is open that her wish has come true.
