"I have seen most, if not all, of her movies. IMHO, Marilyn was a fat broad with big boobs and virtually no talent. "
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.

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

Please. Marilyn was just a thing for some men to pant over - which is virtually all she did, by the way, with that stupid "sexy" pouting, posturing, and ooohing and aahing.
She and James Dean by far the MOST overrated ever - that iconic status makes me sick; their movies are really in the end totally ignored (except SOME LIKE IT HOT - NOT because of MM) except by the fringe. But at least 1 could argue Dean had some kind of acting ability. Or at least he - being a man - was allowed to show it. Marilyn was generally allowed only to be a sex pot. A pretty pathetic, stupid 1 at that.
