Born Norma Jeane Mortenson, Marilyn Monroe was an actress, singer,
and sex symbol whose influence far outlasted her short life.
Contributors to "Fan Phenomena: Marilyn Monroe "situate the
platinum blonde starlet's omnipresent cultural relevance within the
zeitgeist of current popular culture and explore the influence she
has had on numerous elements of it. Her aesthetics and images have
been reappropriated, recreated, imitated, and emulated by such
celebrities as Lindsay Lohan, Jayne Mansfield, Drew Barrymore, Anna
Nicole Smith, and Madonna. The quintessential American sex symbol,
Monroe was an influential style icon for a spectrum of designers,
including Dolce and Gabbana, Betsey Johnson, and Nike, all of whom
have named lines of clothing, shoes, or accessories after the star.
The essays here explore representations of Monroe in visual
culture by looking at the ways she is reimagined in visual art
while also considering how her posthumous appearance and image are
appropriated in current advertisements. With an inside look at the
universe of Marilyn Monroe impersonators and look-alike contests
for both males and females, the book also explores numerous homages
to Monroe in music, from the 1979 opera "Marilyn "by Lorenzo
Ferrero to Nicki Minaj's song "Marilyn Monroe." The definitive
guide to one of the most famous women who ever lived, the book will
be essential reading for any scholar of twentieth-century American
popular culture.
