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.
Thank you for making our choices so easy.

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.
