Marilyn Monroe was an American actress and singer in the 1950's who, according to Klosterman, represented the concept of sexuality in an era when sexuality was taboo. Monroe was a dark character, often suicidal and depressed, and was linked to several famous individuals over the years. Her sexual partners often included famous sports figures, musicians, presidents, and other business leaders. Klosterman believes Monroe was so adored because she was having relations with people others wanted to be. She was talented, but a victim of her own society, who chose to see her as a pure symbol of sex.
