Norma Jeane Mortensen Baker (June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962), professionally recognized as Marilyn Monroe, 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.
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 to her. By 1953, Monroe had progressed to a leading role in Niagara (1953), 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, co-starring Clark Gable with screenplay by her then-husband, Arthur Miller.

I was jiving along in my big cadillac
Saw a thumb going up, I said Driver go back
Played her a track from my latest LP
Getting bad vibes she hadn't recognized me
She said she didn't know me but my name's been in lights
Giant size neons on the strip every night
The camera man did the best that he can
Still she said I don't know you I just can't understand
I'm a star, yeah
I'm a star (Baby bathe in my glow)
I'm a star, anyway
I was trying to be nice but I'm not into that
I usually make it without any chat
She was taking it easy, taking it slow
I said Come on baby, I'm ready to go
I'm a star, yeah
I'm a star (Baby bathe in my glow)
I'm a star, anyway
She said Drop me off here and to my surprise
You wouldn't believe it, it was Beverly Drive
Some sort of commotion, what's happening here
We've arrived at her premiere, I shouldn't be here
She's a star, yeah
She's a star, I didn't know it

Give me the beat boys
Give me the beat boys
Day after day I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feeling the strain
Ain't it a shame
(Chorus)
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in the rock and roll
And drift away
I'm beginning to think that I'm wasting my time
And I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
Now it's up to you
To carry me through
(to Chorus)
And when my mind is free
You know the melody can move me
And when I'm feeling blue
The guitar's coming through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy you've given me
I want you to know that I believe in the song
You help me along
You're making me strong
Give me the beat boys
Give me the beat boys
