#GLADYS BAKER MONROE FULL#
Over the course of her career, Monroe exerted full control over her persona and used it to her professional advantage. She started landing bit parts in movies, finally making her big break with a trio of movies in 1953 that cemented her as one of Hollywood's major sex symbols and one of its most bankable stars. Along with her makeup artist, Allan "Whitey" Snyder, Monroe developed her signature look: pale skin, blonde hair, dark arched eyebrows, plump lips, and a beauty mark. Monroe was presented as an all-American girl, and she herself played a significant part in the creation of her public image. She dyed her hair platinum blonde, and picked her stage name: Marilyn Monroe. In 1945, Norma Jeane began modeling, and signed an acting contract with 20th Century Fox a year later.
