One such figure was Marilyn Monroe, a favorite fashion icon and accomplished American model and actress. Elvis Presley, also known as the “King of Rock and Roll”, achieved his fame as a singer and actor in this era. Dr. Seuss, one of my favorite children's book author with an idiosyncratic writing style, published his ever so popular book, The Cat in the Hat, in…
