Marilyn Monroe was probably the most famous blond celebrity of the 20th century. She was born into a very tough childhood, with an unknown father and a mentally ill mother. She died at the age of 36. Here she is singing Happy Birthday to the President, in 1962, the same year as her death. This video is almost 50 years old, so the quality is quite poor but you still get an idea of the personality.

Now Lindsay Lohan has done a photo shoot for New York Magazine recreating photos taken of Marilyn Monroe in 1962. Lindsay is 21 years old but Monroe was 36 when the similar photo shoot was taken. See the Lindsay Lohan Marilyn photos here.
