# Marilyn Monroe

The first fact about Marilyn Monroe in a public catalog is a dated contract and a dated medical-legal ruling, not a conspiracy preface. Library of Congress photographic files at https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2002717345/ and the Library home at https://www.loc.gov/ hold stills, not a recovered diary. The American Film Institute person record at https://catalog.afi.com/Person/129923-Marilyn-Monroe and AFI’s 100 Stars list at https://www.afi.com/afis-100-years-100-stars/ date pictures. Britannica at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Marilyn-Monroe is the independent life file. Smithsonian/NPG doors at https://npg.si.edu/ and https://www.si.edu/ are later public faces, not 1946 autographs. Keep that adjective. Do not upgrade rumour to a Fact. Fox’s 1947 drop, 1954 suspension, and 1962 firing are studio labour instruments; they are not stored as her exploitation of crews. Vanity Fair’s MMP chronology at https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2022/01/marilyn-monroe-hollywood-mastermind and the 7 January 1955 announcement with Milton Greene are the autonomy path. The Actors Studio at https://theactorsstudio.org/ is the 1955 study heading. Offsets with their own URLs: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes at https://www.britannica.com/topic/Gentlemen-Prefer-Blondes-film-1953; Some Like It Hot at https://www.britannica.com/topic/Some-Like-It-Hot-film-by-Wilder; The Misfits at https://www.britannica.com/topic/The-Misfits. What the score must not say: that she authored Fox’s blonde mill as a harm she inflicted; that 1962 is a proven homicide; that a presidential name belongs on this graph; that MMP was historically the first woman-owned shop; that a later museum still is a 1953 camera negative she filed. Complex contribution is the honest type. Confidence is high on contracts, release years, the MMP heading, and the coroner’s classification; medium on unique wage gaps; low on private medical minutes and on any second-gunman file. Related people are Greene, Strasberg, Miller, DiMaggio, Wilder, Zanuck, Kazan, and Huston — roles and periods, not a pad. 1946 is not 1956. 1954 Korea is not 1954 suspension. 8 June 1962 is not 5 August 1962. Allegation is not judgment.

Later Loeb, UNESCO, and encyclopedia pages are evidence, not additional acts. The honest deficiency is that a 30-Fact / 10-Article / 10-News numeric gate cannot be met from securely dated instruments without attributing later editors to the name. Portrait URL is a Wikimedia upload from How to Marry a Millionaire; a film still is not a studio autograph sitting. Country is stored as United States. Role is stored as Actress.
