Actress who resembles Marilyn Monroe

Monroe's ascent to fame began in the early 1940s when she worked as a model while trying to break into Hollywood. Her big break came when she was signed by 20th Century Fox in 1946. The studio saw her potential and worked to polish her image, transforming her from a model into a leading lady. By the time she starred in "The Seven Year Itch" in 1955, Monroe's status as a sex symbol was solidified, particularly with the iconic image of her white dress billowing over a subway grate.
