Marilyn Monroe is one of the most famous American film and television actresses in the 20th century. She has become an important symbolic figure in some successful commercial films. In 1960, Monroe won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for "Some Like It Hot." In May 1962, Monroe sang "Happy Birthday, Mr. President" at President Kennedy's birthday dinner. On August 5, 1962, Monroe was found dead in the bedroom of her Bradenwood apartment in Los Angeles. She was 36 years old. The cause of death is still unclear. In 1999, she was selected by the American Film Institute as the sixth greatest actress of the century. Monroe's touching performance style and her death in the prime of her life have made her an eternal sex symbol in the hearts of movie fans and a representative figure in pop culture. In 2009, Marilyn was ranked number one among the sexiest beauties in all movies by Network TV Guide.
