I am gonna start with the facts about her very too soon death. Sometimes I think about how she felt: if she thought that she had actually rose above the bar of success in showbiz, but missed the family life she could never get, had she truly anyone to lean on, and to trust.


Her lower colon was bruised a dark purple indicative of an enema.High amount of barbiturates were found in her blood but no evidence of capsules found. No water hoặc liquid found in her room she would have gagged without water to wash all those pills down. There is too many inconsistencies. Marilyn was distrustful of her housekeeper...

“I wish I had one tenth of Marilyn’s cleverness,” đã đưa ý kiến diễn xuất coach Natasha Lytess. “Whenever I arrived at her Doheny Drive apartment, she was studying.”

Monroe in her last bức ảnh session, for LIFE magazine, a tháng before she died. She cared little for things and owned no jewelry. “I’m not interested in money,” Monroe once told an agent. “I just want to be wonderful.”

Eight months before her death Marilyn Monroe discovered a Spanish-style house in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles. She traveled to Mexico in February 1962, enthusiastically searching shops in Cuernavaca, Taxco, Toluca and Acapulco for fabrics, furniture and tiles for her new home.

Dear Marilyn Monroe Fanclub,

I am a 48-year-old freelance writer from Ann Arbor, Michigan.
I have always admired Ms. Monroe, for what she did for all women!
Even though I am a man, I would tình yêu to write about just what she has done for me!
I would like to share my feelings with you, on this topic!

I have written over 70 các bài viết for many years, and have self-published a book about my lifelong obsession with The Beatles, even though I am from Generation-X.

I hope that bạn will allow me to do so!

Thank bạn very much!

Sincerely,
Amit Kshirsagar

 Goodbye Norma Jean
Goodbye Norma Jean
Goodbye Norma Jean
Though I never knew bạn at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around bạn crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set bạn on the treadmill
And they made bạn change your name

chorus
And it seems to me bạn lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would have liked to have known you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did

Loneliness was tough
The toughest role bạn ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price bạn paid
Even when you...

During her marriage to Arthur, Marilyn had two parakeets , Butch and Bobo. Norman Rosten wrote about Butch: “Marilyn calls to him (her); he sits on her shoulder, she coos and whistles, carries him to her lips, and ole Butch leans over and kisses her. ‘You’re a cute parakeet,’ Marilyn says to Butch. Butch loves to hear her voice, figuring she’s just as cute as a parakeet herself. I believe that Butch is in tình yêu with her.”


Marilyn loved Hugo, but the dog seemed perpetually depressed. Marilyn once tired to cheer him up bởi giving him a teaspoon of Scotch. Soon he “rapturously”...

Marilyn Monroe was a legend.

In her own lifetime she created a myth of what a poor girl from a deprived background could attain. For the entire world she became a symbol of the eternal feminine. But I have no words to describe the myth and the legend. I did not know this Marilyn Monroe.

We, gathered here today, knew only Marilyn - a warm human being, impulsive and shy, sensitive and in fear of rejection, yet ever avid for life and reaching out for fulfillment. I will not insult the privacy of your memory of her - a privacy she sought and treasured - bởi trying to describe her whom bạn knew to...

In a heartbreaking Oct. 9, 1954, letter from Yankee legend DiMaggio, her một giây husband, he begs her to come back trang chủ three days after she announced to the world that she was divorcing him.

"Marilyn, I keep đọc reports about bạn being sick and naturally I'm concerned … I tình yêu bạn and want to be with you. There is nothing I would like better than to restore your confidence in me so that I can help bạn regain your once healthy self.

"My tim, trái tim chẻ, phân chia, split even wider seeing bạn cry in front of all these people and looking as though bạn were ready to collapse at any second."

He ends the letter...

Take a bức ảnh of Marilyn Monroe nearly anywhere in the world and she is instantly recognizable. Ask any stranger on the đường phố, street who she is and they'll know.
Young and old, male and female, people spanning multiple generations know who Marilyn Monroe is and her fame spans decades, countries and cultures.
Marilyn is one of the most well known and enduring stars of all time, yet her name evokes in the general public not much thêm than blonde hair, breathy voice hát Happy Birthday, and a váy flying up over her knees. To the woman who pleaded not to be made a joke, the image...

Marilyn was a big supporter of the Civil Rights Movement. Ella Fitzgerald was one of Marilyn’s idols and a major inspiration. However, the Mocambo nightclub in West Hollywood, the most được ưa chuộng dance spot at the time, refused to let Ella perform there because she was black. Outraged, Marilyn told the owners that if they would let Ella perform, she would be there in the front row every time Ella was onstage. She did, and the two became friends.

“I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt… It was because of her that I played the Mocambo, a very được ưa chuộng nightclub in the ’50s. She personally called...

“I think I had many problems as the tiếp theo starlet keeping the Hollywood Người sói from my door. These Người sói just could not understand me. They would tell me, ‘But Marilyn, you’re not playing the game the way bạn should. Be smart. You’ll never get anywhere in this business diễn xuất the way bạn do.’ My answer to them would be, ‘The only diễn xuất I’ll do is for the camera.’ I was determined, no one was going to use me hoặc my body—even if he could help my career. I’ve never gone out with a man I didn’t want to. No one, not even the studio, could force me to ngày someone. The one thing I hate thêm than anything else is being used. I’ve always worked hard for the sake of someday becoming a talented actress. I knew I would make it someday if I only kept at it and worked hard without lowering my principles and pride in myself.” (Marilyn Monroe)

"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if bạn can't handle me at my worst, then bạn sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that bạn can learn to let go, things go wrong so that bạn appreciate them when their right, bạn believe lies so bạn eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

“I Will Be Loved”, a score bởi Michelle Shocked inspired bởi Monroe Painting bởi David Willardson

LOS ANGELES — Over fifty years after Marilyn Monroe’s untimely and unfortunate death, she still captivates the hearts of many, including Grammy-award winning singer-songwriter Michelle Shocked, who has penned an as-yet-unrecorded song, “I Will Be Loved”, inspired bởi a portrait bởi fine-art painter David Willardson, who has captured the pop biểu tượng in a striking painting.

Fortunately, to cheer her up, Hugo came to mind, and with a squeal she runs to the car, calls me to tham gia her, and we’re off to get Hugo, who was getting a check-up at the local kennel. One could never tell bởi looking at him whether hoặc not these sudden reunions pleased him. His face would mask every emotion; like a great actor he kept bạn guessing. At times—I had seen this reunion often—he would almost smile, but a stiff upper lip got in the way, leaving Hugo with nothing, absolutely nothing.

Hugo loves Marilyn, and she adores him. Beauty and the Beast—Hugo bore out this maxim perfectly....

She had a baby in her teens. Marilyn never had any children. She’s had miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy that had to be terminated because it was too dangerous. There’s also myths that she had loads of abortions. This isn’t true either because it was so hard for her to get pregnant in the first place that if she got pregnant she would have wanted it because as a lot of people know, Marilyn always wanted to be a mother.
She had an affair with Tony Curtis. Tony Curtis and Marilyn highly disliked each other. Only after her death did he make a statement that they had a physical affair...

Marilyn always loved and empathized with animals. Throughout her life she had a succession of pets, and she would be deeply affected if she ever came across an animal suffering hoặc the victim of cruelty.
This sensitivity was evident during her marriage to James Dougherty: when he once came trang chủ with a rabbit ready to skin and eat, Norma Jeane refused to touch the animal and was inconsolable for hours. Things were worse when he came trang chủ after a hunting trip with a deer that was still alive. Heartbroken, Norma Jean pleaded with him no to harm the mortally wounded creature, but it was already...

Honestly, I have no patience for people who seem to confuse Marilyn Monroe with the characters she played onscreen. Most people who do this have seen one of three roles - Lorelei in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Girl in The Seven năm Itch, hoặc Sugar in Some Like It Hot, and - though they are only a fraction of her onscreen performances - those roles have typecast her into that ‘dumb blond’ stereotype (the fact is often overlooked that those women themselves are actually all unique in their own ways, portrayed with different layers bởi Marilyn, and none of them are stupid hoặc even one-dimensional,...

bạn know a lot of people have, oh gee, real quirky problems that they wouldn’t dare have anyone know. But one of my problems happens to show: I’m late. I guess people think that why I’m late is some kind of arrogance and I think it is the opposite of arrogance. I also feel that I’m not in this big American rush, bạn know, bạn got to go and bạn go to go fast but for no good reason. The main thing is, I want to be prepared when I get there to give a good performance hoặc whatever to the best of my ability. A lot of people can be there on time and do nothing, which I have seen them do, and bạn know, all sit around sort of chitchatting and talking trivia about their social life. Gable đã đưa ý kiến about me, “When she’s there, she’s there. All of her is there! She’s there to work.”

There isn’t enough upper lip between the end of your nose and your mouth.

I got a cold chill. This girl had something I hadn’t seen since silent pictures.
She had a kind of fantastic beauty like Gloria Swanson, when a movie ngôi sao had to look beautiful, and she got sex on a piece of film like Jean Harlow.

You really care that she should be all right…happy.
