Answer 2

From Norma Jeane to Marilyn : Jimmy joined the Merchant Marines and was sent to the South Pacific in 1944 : Norma Jeane decided to join the assembly line at the Radio Plane Munitions factory.During the 1944 fall, she met David Coroner, a photographer taking pictures of women who were contributing to the war effort. He immediatly saw Norma Jeane's potential and sent her to the Blue Book Agency in 1945. In November of that same year, Andre De Dienes met her and took her first pictures on the beach.

In 1946, because of pressures, Norma Jeane started to change things in her life : first, she dyed her hair to blonde shades. Second, she asked for a divorce on May 14th 1946. That same year, she signed her first contract with the Fox Studios, and was paid 75$ a week. Finally, on August 24th 1946, Norma Jeane Dougherty became Marilyn Monroe.

Fame : things started to work out for Marilyn, small parts slowly became first parts in her movies. When she met Joe DiMaggio, they became the most popular couple of the United States. The two American idols got married on January 14th of 1954 in San Francisco and divorced nine months later, for "career conflicts". The fact was Joe DiMaggio was very protective of his wife and hated seeing her treated as a sexual object by the public.

At the end of 1954, the bad critics for "There's no Business like Show Business" helped her take the decision to leave L.A. for New York in secret, with Milton Greene's help. A few weeks later, on January 1, 1955, they both publicly announced the creation of the Marilyn Monroe Productions, which was a way for Marilyn to choose her movies, parts, directors, etc... and get more control on her career. At the same time, as a part of her efforts to become what she called a "real actress", she joined Lee Strasberg's Actors Studio and moved all her fellow students singing "I'll get by".

By the same time, she was also seeing playwright Arthur Miller who was waiting for his divorce to marry her. They finally married on June 29th 1956
