50 things you probably didn't know about Marilyn Monroe

The star didn't change her name legally to Marilyn Monroe until 1956, although she'd been known publicly by the moniker since 1946. And when she married playwright Arthur Miller she liked to be called Marilyn Monroe Miller. The initials MMM appeared a lot at that time.

2 In December 1953, she appeared smiling and waving on the cover of the first ever edition of Playboy.

3 Marilyn largely made her own path to stardom through dedication and hard work. But the first step came when she was pictured by photographer David Conover who was taking pictures of pretty girls helping the war effort in 1944. She was working at a munitions factory and soon after, she was on the road to becoming a model.

4 From August to November 1962, pop art legend Andy Warhol made more than 20 silk screen paintings of Marilyn, all based on the same photograph.

5 It's widely said that Marilyn's career encompassed 30 movie roles. In fact, she never finished the 30th, Something's Got to Give. She was sacked after failing to turn up for filming the summer she died, although bosses re-hired her just days before her death.
