Marilyn Monroe wise quotes
American actress, singer, model and showgirl Marilyn Monroe was born Norma Jeane Mortenson June 1, 1926 (August 5, 1962). She became a major sex symbol, starring in a number of commercially successful motion pictures during the 1950s. In addition, she left lots of wise quotes and phrases, which became famous.

I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love.”
