(born

[

]
was an American actress, model, and singer, who became a major
sex symbol
, starring in a number of commercially successful motion pictures during the 1950s and early 1960s.
[
4
]
After spending much of her childhood in
foster homes
, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1946 with
Twentieth Century-Fox
. Her early film appearances were minor, but her performances in
The Asphalt Jungle
and
All About Eve
(both 1950) drew attention. By 1952 she had her first leading role in
Don't Bother to Knock
[
5
]
and 1953 brought a lead in
Niagara
, a melodramatic
film noir
that dwelt on her seductiveness. Her '
dumb blonde
' persona was used to comic effect in subsequent films such as
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
(1953),
How to Marry a Millionaire
(1953) and
The Seven Year Itch
(1955). Limited by
typecasting
, Monroe studied at the
Actors Studio
to broaden her range. Her dramatic performance in
Bus Stop
(1956) was hailed by critics and garnered a
Golden Globe
nomination. Her production company, Marilyn Monroe Productions, released
The Prince and the Showgirl
(1957), for which she received a
BAFTA Award
nomination and won a
David di Donatello
award. She received a
Golden Globe Award
for her performance in
Some Like It Hot
(1959). Monroe's last completed film was
The Misfits
(1961), co-starring
Clark Gable
, with a screenplay written by her then-husband,
Arthur Miller
.
The final years of Monroe's life were marked by illness, personal problems, and a reputation for unreliability and being difficult to work with. Ever since Monroe's death from an overdose of
barbiturates
on August 5, 1962,
the exact circumstances
have been subject to conjecture. Though officially classified as a "probable suicide", the possibilities of an accidental overdose or a homicide have not been ruled out. In 1999, Monroe was ranked as the
sixth-greatest female star of all time
by the
American Film Institute
. In the decades following her death, she has often been cited as both a
pop
and a
cultural icon
as well as the quintessential American sex symbol.

Sleeping Beauty
ballet
by
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Sleeping Beauty
was the first animated film to be photographed in the
Super Technirama 70
widescreen
process, as well as the second full-length animated feature film to be filmed in anamorphic widescreen, following Disney's own
Lady and the Tramp
four years earlier. The film was presented in
Super Technirama 70
and 6-channel stereophonic sound in first-run engagements.

[

]
Notable for its use of
Technicolor
, fantasy storytelling, musical score and unusual characters, over the years it has become one of the best-known films and part of American popular culture. It also featured in cinema what may be for the time the most elaborate use of character make-ups and special effects. It was not a
box office
success on its initial release, earning only ,017,000 on a ,777,000 budget, despite receiving largely positive reviews.
[
1
]
[
4
]
The film was MGM's most expensive production at that time, and did not recoup much of the studio's investment until subsequent re-releases.
[
5
]
It was nominated for six Academy Awards, including
Best Picture
but lost to
Gone with the Wind
. It did win in two other categories including
Best Original Song
for "
Over the Rainbow
." The song was ranked first in two lists: the
AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs
and the
Recording Industry Association of America
's "
365 Songs of the Century
".
The 1956
television broadcast of the film
re-introduced the film to the public that eventually made it an annual tradition and one of the most known films in cinema history.
[
2
]
The film was named the most-viewed motion picture on television syndication by the
Library of Congress
who also included the film in its
National Film Registry
in its inaugural year in 1989. Designation on the registry calls for efforts to preserve it for being "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant".
[
6
]
It is often ranked on
best-movie lists
in critics' and public polls. It is the source of many quotes referenced in modern
popular culture
. It was directed primarily by
Victor Fleming
(who left production to take over direction on the troubled
Gone With the Wind
production).
Noel Langley
, Florence Ryerson and Edgar Allan Woolf received credit for the screenplay, but there were uncredited contributions by others. The songs were by
Edgar "Yip" Harburg
(lyrics) and
Harold Arlen
(music). The incidental music, based largely on the songs, was composed by
Herbert Stothart
, with interspersed renderings from classical composers.

The Emerald City of Oz
is the sixth of
L. Frank Baum
's fourteen
Land of Oz
books. It was also adapted into a Canadian animated film in 1987. Originally published on July 20, 1910, it is the story of
Dorothy Gale
and her Uncle Henry and Aunt Em coming to live in Oz permanently. While they are toured through the
Quadling Country
, the
Nome King
is assembling allies for an invasion of Oz. This is the first time in the Oz series that Baum made use of double plots for one of the books.
[

Baum had intended to cease writing Oz stories with this book, but financial pressures prompted him to write and publish
The Patchwork Girl of Oz
, with seven other Oz books to follow.
[

The book was dedicated to "Her Royal Highness Cynthia II of Syracuse" — actually the daughter (born in the previous year, 1909) of the author's younger brother, Henry Clay "Harry" Baum.
