Mother said Marilyn got more publicity than her 'talent' deserved, and I'll say the same to my children about this woman, if they ever ask.
I have never labored under the notion that there was a connection between amount of talent and amount of publicity garnered, c.f. Madonna, Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, need I go on?
'Mother said Marilyn got more publicity than her 'talent' deserved, and I'll say the same to my children about this woman, if they ever ask."
Marilyn was an exceptional actress in 30 films and receiving 2 oscar nominations early on in her film career. She could do comedy or drama equally well. Don't listen to your mother. You need to see some of her work.
I think Marilyn Monroe never got the credit her talent deserved.
