The Layered Bob
This picture of my grandmother and her classic layered bob was taken outside of her home in West Virginia.
A layered bob is when your hair is put into layers and shortened in the back. One method to doing this is to have it shorten enough in the back to where you can just leave it down and straight. Another method is to have your hair in layers, but to blow dry it up to shorten it and to make it fluffy. The women who wore this method of hairstyle the best was Norma Jeane Mortenson, better known as Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe was an actress, singer, model, and just about every man’s dream girl. Marilyn began her career in an airplane parts factory when a photographer came in and encouraged her to do a photo shot for the Blue Book Modeling Agency after he took some shots of her at the factory. The agency told her they were looking for people with lighter hair, so she bleached her hair blonde and got the job. After awhile of modeling, she began acting. However, her birth name Norma Jean was not a good enough stage name for 20th Century executive Ben Lyon, so he changed her name to the now well know Marilyn Monroe. Monroe’s first movie role was as a telephone operator in The Shocking Miss Pilgrim in 1947, her dumb blonde comedic act made it easy to get the role. Since then she landed seven more featured films, until she enrolled into UCLA in 1951, where she studied literature and art. Since then she was featured in the first issue of Playboy Magazine, were she helped improve her popularity status among many people, most of them men. Another incident that that increased her name exposure among the American people was the allegations of her affair with, the president at the time, John F. Kennedy. After that she focused more on her movies and musicals. Later at thirty-six years old, Marilyn Monroe was pronounced dead at her home in Brentwood, Los Angeles. It is still questionable about her death because of the poison found in her blood, but the main theory was that she poisoned herself because she was dramatically depressed over John F. Kennedy’s death. In all, Monroe lived a glamorous life, staring in about thirty movies, making her very well known in America. Even though it is her movies that made her known in America, no one can forget her famous photo of her in a white dress with her blonde layered bob.
