Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe (born Norma Jeane Baker) (PROSE: Stop, Thief!) was an American celebrity in the mid 20th century.

Biography
In 1952, she met the Eleventh Doctor at a Hollywood party, and he "accidentally" accepted a marriage proposal from her. He tried to avoid it, but ended up leaving the party with her to get married, apparently making her the Doctor's spouse. Marilyn got the Doctor's phone number and later attempted to call him, though he denied the legitimacy of the chapel. (TV: A Christmas Carol) Despite this, River Song later mentioned her among the other spouses of the Doctor. (TV: The Husbands of River Song)

After Monroe was resurrected in the City of the Saved, she married Henry VIII. (PROSE: A Hundred Words from a Civil War)

Behind the scenes
In Good Night, the Doctor calls a farewell to an unseen River Song and asks her to "tell Marilyn she'll have to use the biplane".

In TV: Death in Heaven, Missy sang "Happy Birthday" to the Twelfth Doctor the same way Marilyn Monroe famously sang it to US President John F. Kennedy.
