So everyone immediately thinks about Coca-Cola & Marilyn Monroe when asked about America. Indeed, she's the ultimate American icon globally hands down. But what made her a household name? Here are some highlights! (=

• 1946 - Norma Jean changed her name to Marilyn Monroe and started imprinting her blonde locks and deep blood red lips.
• 1953 - One of Marilyn Monroe’s most influential works, ‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes’ premiers, consist of the familiar work of ‘Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend’; The first issue of Playboy magazine with Marilyn Monroe as the cover girl.
• 1954 - Marilyn Monroe visits and entertains the troops in Korea after the Armistice.
• 1955 - ‘The Seven Year Itch’ premiered which includes the most famous and memorable image of Marilyn Monroe, where she was dressed in the infamous white dress while air billowed from the subway ventilator beneath her.
• 1962 - The most memorable public appearance, but sadly also the last when Marilyn Monroe sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to the President.
