One day as a 16-year-old teenager, Actress came to visit her uncle, and it was pointed out by him that she looked suspiciously like Marilyn Monroe. Only then she had never heard of the blonde Hollywood icon: Marilyn Monroe. Her uncle, who is also a big fan of Marilyn, immediately showed Actress some photos of the young Marilyn Monroe, aka Norma Jeane Baker.

What immediately struck her was that Actress and Norma Jeane also have the same surname: Bakker / Baker. And let it be the case that an uncle emigrated from her grandfather to the USA before 1920.
We will never know, but it is a nice thought.

Intrigued and curious, Actress began to read more and more about the life of Marilyn Monroe.

A LOOK A LIKE IS BORN!
She soon found out that their childhood had many similarities, and therefore felt very close to Marilyn Monroe.

"If Marilyn had lived during this time, we could have been close friends," she describes herself.

A first photo session as an 18 year old gave Actress the confidence to start following her heart.

FROM THAT MOMENT ON THINGS WENT FAST.
She regularly made photo shoots as Norma Jeane Baker, and went out with her uncle in search of suitable locations to recreate photos like Norma Jeane Baker.

Finally, when she was 20, she bought her first blonde Marilyn wig, regularly watched make-up tutorials on YouTube and got to work creating her Marilyn. Slowly but with a lot of certainty, Actress blossomed into the new Dutch Marilyn Monroe lookalike, under the name: Debra Monroe.
