On August 5, 1962 - Marilyn Monroe is found dead.

As the sale of photos, posters, books and old movies indicates, Marilyn Monroe stands out as the world's most enduring, and certainly endearing, sex symbol. A natural comedienne, her image remains forever young. Her third husband, Arthur Miller wrote a scathing play about her but her second husband, Joe DiMaggio worshipped her memory. On August 5, 1962, she was found dead in her home, beside her bed an empty bottle that had contained 50 sleeping pills. The police called it an apparent suicide. Said director John Huston, “Her great enemy was sleeplessness. God knows why she feared it so much “.
