On June 1st, 1926, Marilyn Monroe was born in Los Angeles. This year marks the centenary of her birth, and the city is honoring her legacy through various events.

The TCL Chinese Theatre hosted a tribute event on Monday morning with Jane Russell leading a “Happy Birthday” sing-along. A commemorative cake and 100 roses were also present.

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures opened an exhibition titled “Marilyn Monroe: Hollywood Icon”, featuring highlights from her film career and personal memorabilia. The exhibit will run until February 2027.

Special screenings of classic Monroe films like Niagara (1953), The Seven Year Itch (1955), and The Misfits (1961) are planned throughout the month.

The pink dress worn by Monroe during ‘Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend’ performance is on display at the Academy Museum. Other original pieces, including Monroe’s iconic pink dress from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), are also showcased.

Julien’s Auctions will host a “100 Years of Marilyn” sale on June 4th, featuring around 200 items related to her life and career.

Monroe died in August 1962 at the age of 36. Her influence continues to shape film, fashion, and popular culture over half a century later.
