The World Still Loves Marilyn Monroe!

Proof that we just can't have enough of this iconic sex symbol from 1960s Hollywood.

In the relentlessly fickle world of films, sustaining a long career is no mean feat.

Then there are some like Marilyn Monroe, who, after more than five decades of her sudden demise, continues to be one of the most visible and celebrated Hollywood stars of all time.

At any given point of time, remnants of her eventful and extraordinary life are strewn in one or the other part of the globe.
