Happy 88th Birthday, Ms. Monroe.

I think the prettiest actress I have ever seen was Grace Kelley. Tippi Hedren was also right up there as was Vivien Leigh and Janet Leigh.
Also Phoebe Cates and Tuesday Weld.
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?
Wow.... That pictorial changed my opinion of MM.....
I never knew she could read.... / S
I must have missed the point somewhere on the point of this ....
I don’t get it either. Give me Bridget Bardot any day, or Sophia Loren.
bump
Back when 21” waists were in
= = = = = = = = = = = =
Then along came ‘Twiggy’ and her biggest measurement was her shoulders 20”
Think her breasts were ‘inverted’...
Now that was funny
There isn't anything wrong with appreciating physical beauty. I think this woman was beautiful as well:
And this woman today:
(although I admit I have heard Scarlett Johannson is a bit of a brain dead lib, she still has physical beauty which I appreciate)
Hey boy, take a cold shower.
I always heard she (Julie Newmar) was BRILLIANT, too.
Yea, but she got involved with the Kennedy’s. Apparently Jackie got really pissed about the whole “happy birthday Mr. president thing.
Politics and Hollywierd don’t mix. And the players in la la land usually end getting burned. Or at least untill they’ve outlived their usefulness.
She wouldn’t have been able to BEAR a wrinkle showing its ugly face. Maybe that’s why she took the overdose.
Apparently, she got involved with a lot of people
She really was a tragic figure. The face of an angel, the body of a courtesan and truly a pawn used and abused by damn near everyone she came in contact with, from the proverbial casting couch to the President of the United States. Truly an American Tragedy
No...I don’t think that was it, that she was “easy”.
I think, to many men, it was more that she seemed soft and accessible. To a lot of us, she seemed to trigger a feeling somewhere that she liked men, and not necessarily in a strictly sexual sense. (I have no idea if she did or didn’t really enjoy men, that is just how it seems to us...:)
Ever see that woman at a party that guys just gravitate to like a magnet? She isn’t always the most beautiful one. She isn’t always the best or most revealingly dressed one.
She is usually the one who is laughing with a big smile and guys clustered around her. She clearly likes men, and I think men respond to that on some level. That is what I think made Marilyn Monroe attractive to men.
Yes. She always seemed sad to me.
don’t know about you all, but for some reason she makes me want to protect her..*shrugs*
or teach her how to say “no”?
I have always found this woman to be a stunning combination of brains and beauty. Know who she is and what she isn't famous for?
Always loved her. Always will.
