Some Hollywood stars have such an impact that they become emblematic of pop culture. The best example of this is Marilyn Monroe, whose face is recognized by audiences of all ages.
In addition to her great sensuality and talent, the actress has a curious fact: she is related to another pop icon, Britney Spears.
Britney, the pop princess
Without a doubt, Britney Spears is one of the most remembered figures in the music of the 90s and early 2000s.
In fact, she earned the title of 'The Princess of Pop' with hits like 'Baby one more time' and 'Toxic'.
Although in recent years she has been away from the stage, she still has a large number of fans who keep abreast of her and her projects, which they support to the fullest.
Britney has some relatives who have also enjoyed fame. Her younger sister was the star of Zoey 101; while her cousin, Melissa Joan Hart, is remembered by the series Clarissa explains it all and Sabrina, the teenage witch.
But, something that very little they knew, is that the singer has an even more popular relative: the iconic actress, Marilyn Monroe, who passed away in 1962.
The data was discovered by some Internet users, who realized that both stars are linked by the same descendant, named Richard Scott. He was an English immigrant who came to the United States during the 17th century and lived in the Sulffolk province.
This makes Marilyn and Britney ninth-grade cousins. Obviously, they did not get to know each other, because the actress of Los caballeros prefer blondes died 11 years before the singer was born.
However, they share several traits in common. Both are physically similar, but also their lives have similarities. Something that is striking is that the two were tormented by fame.
Marilyn's mental health was affected after facing some job failures and also problems in her love relationships. For a long time, she suffered from insomnia and depression, which in turn led her to consume high amounts of alcohol and drugs.
The actress herself passed away at age 36 from a barbiturate overdose.
Britney has also gone through some emotional crises, caused by media harassment and the stress of her exhaustive schedule. Because of this, the singer has been hospitalized for long periods in specialized clinics, although rumors say that she went against her will.
Furthermore, she was denied the ability to make decisions about her own person, as it is claimed that she does not have sufficient mental stability to do so independently. It is her father who has her guardianship and she continues to fight to regain her freedom legally, an issue that her fans have supported.
