Marilyn was like many, many women who come to Hollywood: they have a desire to be a star and be loved/famous/rich, but they are just like a million other girls who want the same thing. They have no money, no power, and no connections, and often have a limited amount of talent (compared to those near the top of the talent scale - the 1% of Hollywood whose names you actually know).
They can either become waitresses and try to go to auditions and classes during the day, and take bit parts here and there for almost no money, hoping one day to get noticed, or they can try the "fast track" by using the one thing they have that appeals to middle-aged-and-older men who are rich and powerful already: their young, supple bodies.
It's no real secret that Marilyn slept her way to the top of Hollywood, but that probably only meant 5-10 men - and probably closer to 5 than 10. Back then, men were much more powerful in the business world, and sexual issues were almost always swept under the rug - an actress who complained publicly would get blacklisted, unable to get work at any studio. Unless you showed up with the talent and the following to negotiate from a position of strength, most women ended up on the casting couch at least a few times, and for many, it was no big deal - just "part of the process." I believe that was largely how Marilyn felt, based on what I've read.
I don't know that that makes her a "whore", but it was certainly trading sex for "consideration" in the acting world.
This kind of thing still happens today, but today it's just as likely to be the woman who initiates it. Certainly some men still do, but many women would rather sleep with a few men than take the long, hard road to the top by being a waitress and part-time "actress/intern."1 0 0 0if you really did any research all you wouldve had to type was "proof marilyn monroe is a whore" enjoy this factual information :) www.ranker.com/.../celebrityhookups
