Waxman Staff Writer May 31, 2016 4:10 PM UTC It has been 90 years since the legendary actress and model Marilyn Monroe was born in Los Angeles on June 1, 1926\. In honor of that anniversary, we present a quiz on her life and work, as depicted by great photography from LIFE magazine. Images like these helped to keep the star a household name long after her death in 1962. See whether you’re really an expert on the blonde bombshell — or whether some of these answers seem like bombshell revelations. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4349808/marilyn-monroe-quiz/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4349808/marilyn-monroe-quiz/"},"headline":"Test Your Marilyn Monroe Knowledge With These Iconic Photographs","datePublished":"2016-05-31T16:10:55.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T17:52:54.892Z","description":"Can you tell 'The Seven Year Itch' from 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'?","url":"https://time.com/4349808/marilyn-monroe-quiz/","keywords":["photography","Icons"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
