Marilyn Monroe, born Norma Jeane Mortenson on June 1, 1926, emerged as a cultural icon and sex symbol of the 1950s and early 1960s. Cherished for her sensuous screen presence and breathy vocal performances, Monroe found fame as an actress, singer, and model. Her rise from a troubled childhood to stardom is a narrative that blends glamour with personal hardships, ultimately engraving her as a Hollywood legend.

Monroe's musical moments are remembered as integral elements of her films, embodying both allure and charm. Notable among her recordings is the classic "Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend" from the film "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," which has been immortalized through various interpretations and remixed versions, including the Swing Cats Mix that adds a contemporary spin to this timeless track. Throughout a patchwork career that consisted of acting, singing, and modeling, Marilyn Monroe’s short but impactful discography mirrors her complex persona—vulnerable, enticing, and eternally memorable. Despite her untimely death in 1962, her musical and cinematic contributions continue to resonate, as celebrated in collections like the "Marilyn Monroe 50th Anniversary Album" and "Love, Marilyn - Original Recordings by Marilyn Monroe," which showcase the breadth of her talent as both an actress and a vocalist.
