Marilyn Monroe in 'The Misfits' (1961) 

Bet she did as well.....

She was in so many movies though........didn’t take her seriously.........really!

She had a choice… kind of , pills or being a serious actress . Because of her f-d up upbringing and genetics ( mom , grandmother were diagnosed with serious mental issues ) , the serious acting ambition went largely by wayside. You have to be professional, prompt , receptive to direction and because of her issues… well the legend lives on because of those issues.

@@peterwieser4631 you hit the nail right on the head as sad as that may be.

Unfortunately by the time she started doing more dramatic roles (around the time of "Bus Stop") she was so addicted to drugs that in her later career it was hard to take her seriously. It's a shame because she was fantastically talented.

Well, she did start another entire, which she almost finished b4 ahe died. Someone here on RU-vid has assembled what was finished it plays great. It's called "Somethings Got To Give"

...and Marilyn as well, sugar.

You can if you wish. 1. It's only a movie. 2. They only live 20-30 years at best. 3. The horse in real life has been dead for 40+ years so it does not feel your sorrow. 4. Some scenes in movies are brutal. Life is not always happy or fair.

@@araymond1able nothing youve said is any valid reason not to feel sad for the horse. I felt sad for it too. Doesnt mattervif it thinks like us or how long its been dead-at one point it was alive, and tormented so humans could make a movie. Is it the worst thing in the world-of course not. But its sad and its ok to acknowledge that.

Think of literally hundreds of thousands of these intelligent creatures that every year are being transported alive inside overcrowded trailers, with no food and no water, very often being injured, for days on end from eastern Europe to Italy to be brutally slaughtered for meat. Makes your heart bleed, really.

@@shanesmith8155 Why Marilyn?

clarkewi Your comment is underrated.

@@Vishwanath924 The movie is underrated. It's a masterpiece.

@@clarkewi Truly a masterpiece. I'm not even gonna underscore the biggest secret of all humanity- which is mentioned in the movie.

@@Vishwanath924 And the last movie Monroe, Gable and Clift ever made.

What do you mean, "quite good" - she was amazing is this movie.......

"quite good" is really understatement. she was amazing

Amazing.

TRULY. It’s just AWFUL to watch this

its so weird to think that he had already been dead 6 years by the time this came out. him and marilyn in a film together would have been the most fantastic explosion of american pop culture

@@peacefrog9306 I could have seen him playing Guido. He would have hit that out the park. Although Eli Wallach did a great job.

She was so talented here. But I think she looks older than 34. Maybe it was older filming but I think her addictions were showing on her.

Not Eli.

Also another example of Marilyn Monroe's amazing hardcore acting skills was the movie called, "Don't Bother To Knock" 💘

@@demondrummer1614 Yes! I had never heard of that one before and I see it will be played on TCM's "Noir Alley" on 1/7/2023 and I'm going to watch!

Almost like Rebel Without a Cause.

roscoegino Jimmy Dean died too young and Natalie Wood didn't even reach 50😔😔😔😔

At a birthday party for me, making a summer breeze with my just turned six year old lungs... inside the six darkening wicks...six dying amber sparks...just a dozen days since the funerary family and friends of Marilyn Monroe place her in her last repose. "six little lights from six wicks of six flames 12 days after a life of a thousand and one camera poses, takes its last one with the help of her funerary family and friends of 1962.

She also gave a very powerful dramatic role back in 1951 don't bother to knock ( which is much away powerful than this one)

@@waelwael1912 true

@@waelwael1912 I was going to say the same thing:) "Don't Bother To Knock" was a great movie and she was so amazing & just fucking badass in it:) Xo

Her roles were not really dumb blond; they were intelligent child-like charm personas, and audiences loved those charters and still find them charming all these decades later. She just wanted to do more than that.

Oh, poor women. Boo hoo.

She was murdered by J.F Kennedy

@@newindia7584 and JFK was shot in retaliation for that, in 1963,sarcasm

It's a movie

I cry a lot when I watch her too:) She was PRECIOUS

Peter Whitehall isn’t it crazy! Monroe, Gable, and soon...Clift.

I know. I remember watching the last scene in The Quiet Man and boy was I steamed & confused to find that we were supposed to root for John Wayne! I was all of 6 when I watched it on TV. Kids know better than adults sometimes. Like, we're not supposed to root for the bully.

Oh boo hoo. What a couple of babies.

Tyrone Camp .....a big part of her wanted it but when it happened she simply could not handle it ... not the first & won't be the last to be overwhelmed & destroyed by the heat of fame's spotlight ...

Tyrone Camp I didn't think much of Marilyn at first but reading more about her?? I've grown to respect her.

What you say is only partly true, Marilyn put in a great performance in this movie, probably her very best.....

Tyrone Camp, it wasn’t just the studio that was tired of her antics, other actors were, too. It always seemed to me rather disrespectful and thoughtless on her part to leave others on the movie set waiting for hours for her to decide to show up (if she showed up at all). Also, she would tell the director she was going to go do something and would be back in a few minutes, but wouldn’t come back for hours, with the movie crew, director and actors waiting. Maybe the studio cared mainly about the money, which made them rather heartless and mercenary, but other actors and the crew who were connected with the making of her movies were innocent bystanders who had to wait patiently and suck it up. She would sometimes take a dislike to an actor without any explanation and the actor would be left puzzled and confused by the snub. She was an emotionally needy child/woman who was a bottomless pit. I don’t think I would have had the patience to deal with that kind of exhausting neediness. But I guess I would be expected by her adoring, worshipful fans to try to understand and forgive all because she was Marilyn Monroe.

He didn't throw her down, he pushed her out of the way when she was all up in his face. Assault, my ass. Grown women are responsible for their own behavior, like any other adult.

Both. She was spectacular and beautiful in both

Bus Stop

misfits.

roscoegino .......don't forget......... "Some Like it Hot"

gary schultz And Don't Bother to Knock.

And the Clintons.

the whole cast turned in fine performances.

Clark was a wonderful actor. He had a long career and was very good in this, his last film. People are focusing on Marilyn because it was one of her few dramatic roles where she was able to go outside the dumb blonde persona. By the way, Marilyn wasn't known for being in "nudie mags," as you put it. Her pre-stardom photos by Tom Kelley were bought by Hugh Hefner. Marilyn never posed nude for any magazines.

No, they didn't. Get ahold of yourself.
