"Next issue – Rita Hayworth or Ava Gardner, who would you rather nail? I disqualify myself, because I’ve done them both."

Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jeane Mortenson). Everyone has heard about her, most people know her story. She was an American actress, singer, model, she did it all. She became a popular sex symbol in the ’50s and ’60s, inspiring many women to chase their dreams and be themselves. Sadly, she passed away at the very young age of 36.
However, she still managed to achieve more things than most people do in a full lifetime. Marilyn was photographed by many photographers, including one photoshoot by Sam Shaw which is considered one of the most famous of her shoots
Marilyn was before my time, but I have seen documentaries about her life.
Many people don’t know that mental illness ran in her family. Her mother suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and was in and out of hospitals. Marilyn’s grandmother committed suicide.
I believe that, sadly, Marilyn inherited her family’s mental illnesses and suffered from deep depression.
That being said, I’m not convinced she committed suicide.
IMHO, Marilyn was prettier before she went blonde.
You, sir, are a treasure. I’m sure that your wife knows this!
The one exception, imho, is Joan Crawford. That woman looks like a mean dyke. I never understood her appeal
Sonnet 18.
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
I wonder about the personal looks of the "Greek Gods" who would find fault with such a natural beauty?
But not if she didn’t want to be.
Never appealed to me very much. More of a manufactured sex object. Jane Russell was way hotter and much better legs.
She would also need a big butt reduction.
I just ran the address of the house she died in. It’s still there.

Yep a $7 million home isn’t going to be discarded except major project
such as city improvements etc.
don’t know about that one. big butts are in style these days
It seems she didn’t have enough sense to see what she had. Coulda-shoulda-woulda... She wasn’t the sharpest spoon in the knife drawer.
Hedy, yep! Throw in a total goddess Ava Gardner with Sophia as well!
Aside from Sophia, Rita, and Ava I have always just had to stop and watch anything with Maureen O’Hara, what a total babe! Yvonne De-Carlo another beautiful woman from the past.
Phil Hartman's impression was hilarious.
It’s funny how we can remember SNL skits from 30 or even 40 years ago.
Nobody is going to remember anything from the last 10 years of SNL.
It’s HEDLEY !
You’re welcome.
