BY LORRAINE DUFFY MERKL Last week, on June 1st, 2016, Marilyn Monroe would have been 90. Idolized as well as parodied and impersonated, the sex symbol, who died at 36 in 1962, went through life as two people; the obvious being Norma Jean and Marilyn, but really her two roles were as the successful actress usually cast as the dumb blonde, and the frustrated, depressed woman, who, no matter how hard she worked, always felt like a joke. At first blush, this “living of two lives” thing can seem very show biz-centric, but don’t we all do it?
