Think about your youth for a moment and try to recall someone you wanted, and tried to emulate. You tempted with their looks and style, their walk and talk even. In its simplest form, this proves how the phrase 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery' is so intrinsically natural and imprinted into us. Hence, with all things considered, Marilyn Monroe<\/strong> is probably the most imitated individual till today. It's also hard not to see, based on the requisites of sheer number of fans, imitators and idolators (not to mention countless conspiracy theories, rumours and controversies), that Monroe is\u00a0a resplendent goddess despite gracing this planet for just a moment.<\/p>

Since her passing 53 years ago, the tragic figure inspired multiple television shows and movies. So in celebration of the latest television series<\/a>, The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe, <\/em>and her 89th birthday if she were here,\u00a0we've rounded up 5 iconic actresses<\/a> who've dared to walk the path and portray the irresistible platinum blonde beauty to sheer perfection.<\/p>

\"I'm trying to find myself. Sometimes that's not easy,\"<\/em>\u00a0said Marilyn Monroe. If it wasn't easy for her, it must have been a mammoth of a task for these stars<\/a> to emulate Monroe and\u00a0work\u00a0up that coy, breathy voice as well.<\/p>
