If you don’t mind my saying, Monroe lived in a world of fantasy, as indicated that she sincerely believed that JFK would leave his wife and marry her during their affair. If you don’t have a good grounding in reality, you get destroyed by that system. Same with Dandridge really. Both kept refusing or were unable to face the realities of their personas. Monroe chose the sexpot role and same with Dorothy.

A lot of actresses sadly don’t realize that once you go into that industry, you are an object, not a human being. And men will not be interested in you for your mind initially.

I agree. She lost it some time ago. In those days, and maybe they still do ... Hollywood loaded them up with drugs and also their decadent lifestyle did the rest. She was unrestrained. Her mother was in an asylum. She also worried that she'd wind up that way too. Of course no dad was present ... . It's such a predicable pattern. It was a sad situation with a sadder ending.
