I think Marilyn was different from other so call Blond bombshells in those days. Marilyn was quite smart yet she had this child like quality, a vulnerability that you just want to protect her yet she had this sexual aura to her. From what I understand she lived in foster homes, and it is suspected she was molested at one of these homes. I believe she was not raised by her mother nor father. Her mother had mental issues. I think all that she carried with her, in other words she was mentally scarred. I suppose that is why she had relations with older men. The only man who truly loved her was Joe DiMaggio. In fact, I believe he banned all Kennedys to her funeral. I believe even up to his death he blamed them for her death. While alive, he always sent flowers to her grave. Unfortunately it seem Marilyn was career oriented because I believe she believed her careers and fans were her family since she never knew what is like to be in a family environment.
Now on Picture #16, now doesn’t that picture on the wall (on the right just next to her shoulder) looks like Bobby or John Kennedy and his sisters?
I think you are correct. I always thought that the most attractive aspect of any woman was innocence, something you mentioned. With Marilyn, she could project innocence even when she was acting like a slut.
