If there's one guilty pleasure I have, it's researching little-known facts about my favorite celebrities — specifically silver screen starlets like Marilyn Monroe.
For instance, thanks to my compulsive searching, I've learned that the platinum blonde bombshell can help test your vision and that some people believe she was killed by a CIA agent. When it comes to interesting Norma Jean tidbits, the internet is an endless treasure trove!
But recently, I stumbled upon a Marilyn fact I'd never heard of before — along with some other absolutely fascinating historical details. As soon as I was done reading, I knew I had to share what I'd found.
Though not all of these facts are about famous celebrities, I think they're incredibly interesting. Who knew such shockingly different historical events happened around the same time?
