Marilyn Monroe, a legend of the silver screen, would have turned 96 today, and we can only speculate as to how she would appear now.
As it turns out, we are not alone. Artists’ conceptions and digital age progressions of what the blonde would have looked like in the future are widely available online.
We found a lot of these images, and some are more convincing than others. The below video is a set that really pleased us, and we think it will do the same for you.
These purportedly depict the late actress in her 80s and 90s. Try it and see if you disagree.
Was Marilyn Monroe Married?
Marilyn had three marriages, but she did not produce any offspring from any of them. In 1942, at the tender age of 16, she wed her first husband, James Dougherty.
Because she didn’t want to end up back in an orphanage, she did this. Marilyn was a stay-at-home mom throughout their time together.
When he left to join the Marines, she moved in with his parents. In 1946, the couple separated for good.
Having achieved fame as a model and actress, the Hollywood legend wed baseball star Joe DiMaggio in 1954.
However, their marriage did not last, and they separated after only nine months. After dating for a while, Marilyn eventually married playwright Arthur Miller in 1956.
Even though the actress had converted to Judaism at the time, she and her husband ended up divorcing in 1961, only a year before her death.
Marilyn never had children from either of her marriages, and she reportedly experienced multiple miscarriages.
Monroe’s Acting Career And Personal Life
During the 1950s, Monroe became a household name because to her roles in box office successes including Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire, The Seven Year Itch, and Some Like It Hot.
She also gained notoriety for her personal life, particularly her marriages to notable men like baseball player Joe DiMaggio (1954) and playwright Arthur Miller (1956).
There are rumours that the actress had an affair with President John F. Kennedy, though the details of when or how the romance began remain sketchy at best.
She sang “Happy Birthday, Mr. President” at a charity event for him while dressed provocatively in a nude-colored glittering gown, leading many to believe that the affair rumours were true.
