6. Marilyn Monroe 玛丽莲·梦露

(June 1, 1926 – August 6, 1962)

She was the heroine in a fairytale-like politic scandal. Her life before she found fame is still a mystery. Her smile as she waves from a plane against a sea of cheering soldiers will forever be a beautiful scene in history. Hollywood defined her as sexy, something she was capable of delivering with ease, but also a weight she could not lift so as to breathe at ease. Regrettably, Chinese audiences did not know how to perceive such a symbol of the "American Dream" like Monroe during her time. But hopefully her beauty and legacy can be remembered during our time.

玛丽莲·梦露（1926-1962）是一桩童话般的政治丑闻中的女主角。她成名前的生活一直是个谜。她在飞机上向欢呼的士兵们招手时露出的笑容永远地定格为历史上的美丽一幕。好莱坞对她的定义是性感，她总能毫不费力地展示自己的性感，然而她的性感也是她无法摆脱、让她不能自如呼吸的负担。令人遗憾的是，在她的全盛时代，中国观众不知道应如何看待梦露这种“美国梦”的象征。不过希望在我们的时代，她的美和遗产能被铭记。
