Marilyn Monroe personified Hollywood glamour with an unparalleled glow and energy that enamored the world. Although she was an alluring beauty with voluptuous curves and a generous pout, Marilyn was more than a '50s sex goddess. Her apparent vulnerability and innocence, in combination with an innate sensuality, has endeared her to the global consciousness. She dominated the age of movie stars to become, without question, the most famous woman of the 20th Century.
She was born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926 in Los Angeles, California, to Gladys Baker. As the identity of her father is undetermined, she was later baptized Norma Jeane Baker. Gladys had been a film cutter at RKO studios, but psychological problems prevented her from keeping the job and she was eventually committed to a mental institution.
Norma Jeane spent most of her childhood in foster homes and orphanages until 1937, when she moved in with family friend Grace McKee Goddard. Unfortunately, when Grace's husband was transferred to the East Coast in 1942, the couple couldn't afford to take 16-year-old Norma Jeane with them. Norma Jeane had two options: return to the orphanage or get married.
On June 19, 1942 she wed her 21-year-old neighbor Jimmy Dougherty, whom she had been dating for six months. "She was a sweet, generous and religious girl," Jimmy said. "She liked to be cuddled." By all accounts Norma Jeane loved Jimmy, and they were happy together until he joined the Merchant Marines and was sent to the South Pacific in 1944.

2008 Election:Health Care
When I was on Glass-Booth for the quizes for some of the issuses were about health care with John McCain , Barrack Obama, and Ralph Nader. On John McCain's part for health care he was saying"I want to preserve the quality of health care, I want to make it affordable and I want to make it available. I want to give everybody in this room, every family in this room a $5,000 refundable tax credit. And you can take that across state lines and go anyplace in America you want to and get a health insurance policy. And if you got any money left over, then you 'ought to be able to invest in a health savings account.
Barrack Obama!
"The time has come for universal health care in America," Obama said at a conference of Families USA, a health care advocacy group. "I am absolutely determined that by the end of the first term of the next president, we should have universal health care in this country."
Ralph Nader!
All the candidates -- McCain, Obama and Clinton -- are against single-payer health insurance, full Medicare for all. I'm for it, [along with] millions of Americans and 59% of physicians in a forthcoming poll this April [2008
I believe that Obama should win this elecation because of what he said about the health care. Obama has good points and bad points. Obama should win this election because he is working his hardest for the country and the city of Philadelphia. That is what i think.
