6. Marilyn Monroe 瑪麗蓮·夢露

(June 1, 1926 – August 6, 1962)

She was the heroine in a fairytale-like politic scandal. Her life before she found fame is still a mystery. Her smile as she waves from a plane against a sea of cheering soldiers will forever be a beautiful scene in history. Hollywood defined her as sexy, something she was capable of delivering with ease, but also a weight she could not lift so as to breathe at ease. Regrettably, Chinese audiences did not know how to perceive such a symbol of the "American Dream" like Monroe during her time. But hopefully her beauty and legacy can be remembered during our time.

瑪麗蓮·夢露（1926-1962）是一樁童話般的政治丑聞中的女主角。她成名前的生活一直是個謎。她在飛機上向歡呼的士兵們招手時露出的笑容永遠地定格為歷史上的美麗一幕。好萊塢對她的定義是性感，她總能毫不費力地展示自己的性感，然而她的性感也是她無法擺脫、讓她不能自如呼吸的負擔。令人遺憾的是，在她的全盛時代，中國觀眾不知道應如何看待夢露這種“美國夢”的象征。不過希望在我們的時代，她的美和遺產能被銘記。
