Now here’s a woman who changed the world…how we see ourselves and our possibilities. Tragic tale, though. I’m glad we never had to watch this lovely creature grow old. She will brighten the mists of memory for generations of women to come. Thank you to the offspring of Milton H. Greene

God, she looked so young. What am I saying—she was young! Much too young to die and a great comedic talent. I watched Some LIke It Hot a few months ago, and realized her accute sense of timing necessary for a comedy performance. I think she was far more talented that she was given credit for when she was alive.

Look at that flawless, perfect complexion! Marilyn was such a beautiful woman. It’s so tragic that she died the way she did. The demons we sometimes struggle with can be overwhelming I guess. What a waste of what could have been such a full life.

Now there’s an amazing woman. They broke the mold.

She was the epitome of a “Hottie” =o)

Look at that face! I see her in a movie occasionally and lose track of everything else when she is on screen. It’s that wonderful face. If only…….sigh.

The credit where it says The Prince and the Showgirl is actually a photo from Bus Stop. Marilyn was so incandescent on film and in photos. She is truly a one of a kind!

I had this book. My favorite photo is the “high school” Marilyn in B&W. She’s just so pretty and young.

As a psychiatric nurse I think it is so sad that MM died without the kind of treatment available today. Of course, that is true for many diseases and disorders. With her medical history (at least what we have heard regarding her mother’s mental illness) I do not doubt Marilyn also suffered from a major mood disorder. Unfortunately, in her day, treatment was less effective than that which is available today. However, she struggled on and more than any other actress I feel great compassion for what she went through. She was divine to look at, acutely comedic as well as dramatic, and painfully vulnerable in her relationships which could not withstand her illness. She is still one of the most beautiful and charming actresses to this day. I think no one loved her as much as Joe DiMaggio did even following their divorce. One of a kind. True to the sond, she was like a Candle in the Wind.

I think Brit Spears is today’s marilyn. They look similar, so no womder that she will soon have other roles to play…..I do not speak of hollywood which became holly shit, pardon my french.
