"You need to see some of her work."

I have seen most, if not all, of her movies. IMHO, Marilyn was a fat broad with big boobs and virtually no talent. Her role in "River of No Return" was jerky and her manner of speaking was neither real nor relaxed.

I am not saying the movies she made were bad, "Some Like It Hot" was fantastic. Less because of her than Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.

Her Oscar nominations were due mainly to those features closest to the camera lens.

I don't know why so many folks are buying the conspiracy angles. Seems to me, dying of a drug overdose has ALWAYS been a likely scenario for ANS.

Every time I've ever caught her on the idiotbox she seemed high as a kite.

[good old days]

Are you sure that she had two Oscar nominations? I didn't think that she had any.

I've never been a MM fan either. The "Happy Birthday Mr. President" moment wasn't sexy, it was a forced, stilted, caricature of sexiness.

You obviously don't know the meaning of the word talent. I also doubt if you have seen more than 2 or 3 of her films.

Killed over an affair with GWB? Kennedy redux? She was George's secret drinking buddy?

How long can it be until the Left goes there...??????????

I wrote an article about her death:

and her life:

I feel so sad about this. To have had so much and to have lost it all - absolutely tragic. I feel such sadness for Anna Nicole, and for her baby daughter, Dannielynn. I'm sure this tragedy was preventable, which makes the loss even harder to tolerate.

You're right Kirkwood, no one is allowed to have an opinion that differs from yours.

Thank you for making our choices so easy.

Never cared for her antics, but this is sad, nonetheless. She had a messed up life. The inmates at DU are having fits over this. One poster said the best and brightest die young, referring to Smith. Another compared her talents to Marilyn Monroe. Another called her the "peoples princess." Others are pissed off because this is diverting news from Bush`s "murdering our troops in Iraq." And others think Bush had a role in Smith`s death.

I feel very sorry for her.


I hope Howard K Stern get absolutely nothing out of this.


He is an enabler

I hope you were wearing your MOPP suit.

I really don't see what the fuss about Marilyn Monroe was about either - she's a pudgy lady and the face isn't that great. But obviously ideals of womanly beauty have changed in the last 50 yrs - we tend to favor thinner, more fit women even as we as a nation get fatter.

Same seems to hold true for men, btw - watching TVLand, I was surprised by how heavy the guy who played Superman on the TV show was - he looks like a normal man, not a perpetual teenager, and therefore would never be cast as Superman today.

Never said to anyone they couldn't have an opinion, but I can point out when their opinion is totally wrong. This person clearly knows nothing about Marilyn Monroe and is spouting off ridiculous comments as if they were true. If you look at any biography on her life, you will see that she was never considered fat and untalented and she was one of the top box office draws of her time. All of the big talent in Hollywood wanted to work with her except near the end of her life when her mental illness (clinical depression) kept her from working.

I'm no big fan of Marilyn Monroe. I was seven when she died and I really had her confused with Mae West at the time. But in the years since then I have learned she was a talented actress. She could sing and dance too. The problem remains that Marilyn became a product - a fancy label - even before her death and certainly thereafter.

You will have to give Marilyn some credit. She was a plain-yet-beautiful girl with a lousy start in life who made it to Icon Forever status. She was smart, ambitious, and driven in her quest to become a star. She did all this while suffering a lifetime of emotional/mental illness.

Marilyn Monroe's legacy was in no way comparable to Anna Nicole Smith. And I have nothing against Anna Nicole. In fact, I was a fan. God rest her soul.

"Are you sure that she had two Oscar nominations? I didn't think that she had any."

Yes, for supporting actress in All About Eve and in The Asphalt Jungle. She also had a 3rd nomination from the British equivalent of the Oscars for the female lead in the Seven Year Itch.

Thanks so much for posting your links. The piece about her before she died was prescient as well. I will visit your other articles. I like your content and style. Nice work.

She was due to check out tomorrow

So she was a little early ...

[reagan_fanatic]

Why do "beautiful" people get screwed up so early in life and pass on and the Ugly just keep on going...

Even the grim reaper has standards.

MM had a 22" waist. Not too many woman today are that thin. Her looks are deceiving because she was curvatious with what at the time was considered the idea female figure. She was not straight-waisted with small boyish hips as is currently popular.
