A sex symbol becomes a thing. I just hate to be a thing. Being a sex symbol is a heavy load to carry, especially when one is tired, hurt and bewildered.
An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine. A money machine.
Dreaming about being an actress, is more exciting then being one.
I have too many fantasies to be a housewife. I guess I am a fantasy.
I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else.
To put it bluntly, I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation. But I’m working on the foundation.
Hollywood is a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.
I am invariably late for appointments – sometimes as much as two hours. I’ve tried to change my ways but the things that make me late are too strong, and too pleasing.
I don’t mind living in a man’s world as long as I can be a woman in it.
It’s often just enough to be with someone. I don’t need to touch them. Not even talk. A feeling passes between you both. You’re not alone.
If I’d observed all the rules, I’d never have got anywhere.
What do I wear in bed? Chanel No. 5 , of course…
Marilyn Monroe (June 1, 1926 – August 5, 1962), born Norma Jeane Mortenson, but baptized Norma Jeane Baker, was an American actress, singer and model.

She is the most beautiful and radiant women under the sun..
All that is being said here…she has touch us in so many ways
inspiring……
Nao se pode negar a beleza, o talento desta mulher, embora é possível perceber pela história de vida dela , muita futilidade, sofrimento e libertinagem escondidos , por trás de muito glamour, sensualidade…
Nao deixará de ser uma diva nunca e seu estrelato estará sempre ligado ao famoso chanel número 5 .
“If you can’t handle me at my worst, you don’t deserve me at my best” My favorite Marilyn quote something to remember!
I think she was famous and successful becouse she had toxic personality. That’s why she was intriguing and interesting.
If, only if she knew that those chasing after her with cheap words were also lost their soul (a little different scope of course), she could have been less lonely. To some people, perhaps more than many, she was not a “thing”. She was a charming looking person who had a beautifu soul. I can read her deep deep hurt caused by ” an absolute saparation from the love of Universe” . Although it might be too late good bye, May all peace be with her soul in the life.
The reverence I have for this woman, don’t know whence it originated – it’s a mystery.
Truly Marilyn Moonro saw all the peaks of being famous, sexy, successful, anxious, desperate, and thrusty (all at the same time-what an irony).
Thanks, this article about her is also beautiful like her ;)

(If you can make a girl laugh you can make her do anything),Marilyn Monroe
RIP beautiful ….
i need the mystery to be solved …
She could have chosen a different life altogether as soon as she sensed there was something amiss. But, that’s how life drives each one of us. Some take viable and valuable paths while some tread on the path filled with thorns with roses swaying on the horizon.
By the time, they think they reach there, life moves on.
RIP Marilyn.
Though probably well intentioned, your notion that “She could have chosen a different life …. as soon as she sensed there was something amiss…” has some inaccuracy. We do not know what others are equipped with, what tools and resources they have. If you have been blessed with the great advantage of understanding this and are able to live by it, that is good for you (and perhaps good for others if you can share the skill with them but helping them to learn it). Judging others, based on the assumption that they had the skill but did not employ it, is flawed and hurtful. It is dismissive and sounds as though to come from an attitude of superiority. Perhaps that is just an artifact of how your well intentioned comment was written. Perhaps it is enough to do your part to help others learn about awareness, and their option of choosing different paths, without retrospectively brandishing them as someone who basically got what they deserved, because they chose that thorny path (which is how your comment sounds to me). Btw thank you for this opportunity to understand something new, about myself, and for the opportunity to share.
Yes, Perhaps because she chose the Thorny path others won’t have to. Many many people are indebted to her for her sacrifice
She played the dumb blonde well on and off screen, but some of the comments she made during her life show she was all but one, and had some wisdom to impart.
Triste that after all these years she still has not been granted the respect to have all mystery around her death lifted, whatever it was, the people involved are nearly all gone, the Kennedy’s are not as important anymore so why not give her whats due to her finally: honesty.
Maybe because all this mystery means people can still use and abuse her and make a quick buck with the endless articles and books?

Marilyn Monroe – “Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring” !!
I just adore this woman. Thank you for the post!
