She was difficult, troubled and had her demons but camera loved her like no other. The mystery of her death just made her myth bigger. Great documentary, btw:)
Always loved Norma Jean. Such sad, tragic life....but she will remain timeless, a legend, an icon, still mentioned and remembered in 500 years from now, which is something not many have achieved.
I think what people still need to remember, is that even though people like Marilyn Monroe are/was famous, they are still human beings with needs. Despite the fact that in this type of business you have to keep up an image, they can only do so much. You can't push these people beyond what they are physically, emotionally and mentally capable of. I totally agree with what you are saying. It's like, what it more important? Getting a movie done and making huge bucks, or someone's health?
Interesting. If Marilyn's behavior was so erratic that they had to have her psychiatrist on set to "control her" why was she even working? And why did her psychiatrist have so much pull that he was able to get the director replaced?
I've watched Something's Got To Give, although it was really short but I wished it was completed, Marilyn was great in it and the movie is really interesting
They probably treated Marilyn Monroe the same way they treated Shirley Temple; they got their pound of flesh out of her with the preceding 29 films they probably didn’t pay her for, now they were pissed because she needed to breathe. So they dumped her. They know as well as I do that people loved her and if they had had the humanity with her they should have had, they would have made many more millions off her with that film. Maybe hundreds of millions. They signed their own death warrant when they dumped her. And hers; they are directly responsible for what happens to her. We love you, Marilyn. We’re sorry they did that to you. What goes around will come around.
She was very beautiful but so troubled. She was childlike because she never got the chance to be a child. Her childhood was terrible. I think she looked for a father figure in a lot of men she had relationships with. And she truly loved JFK. Her and Jackie both deserved better.
Speaking about Arnold Schulman, original script writer for "Something's Got To Give" producer David Brown says "He was a great writer, but I was somewhat alarmed when I passed his office & saw he had removed his desk & was writing in a Yoga position. BEAR IN MIND THAT THE MYTH OF HOLLYWOOD IS FAR LESS THAN THE REALITY" OMG that's the funniest & truest line about tinsel-town I've ever heard!! He says that with so much dead-pan sincerity I think everyone misses the complete irony of that statement
does anyone know, where are her tapes he has made for Dr Greenson? i've read an excerpt from the transscript, and would like to read more of it but what i've read shows her as an exceptional intelligent person!
That's because thinking and feeling people refuse to put her in the box that the Hollywood and New York "users" put her in. If anyone bothers to really find out about her life they cannot come away with anything but empathy and admiration for how hard she tried to overcome her horrendous childhood and how she looked for love everywhere but never really found it. So in death, she has the love and admiration she craved so much in life. And no one can ever take it away.
I wonder, has Fox released or plan to release "Something's Gotta Give" just put together, and edited to make it a short film of what scenes were filmed? I think ppl would understand and buy that it's not finished because of what happened. I know I would buy it.
She was such an amazing woman. Beautiful, talented, and funny. But she was also very smart. Hollywood made her up to be some dumb blonde bombshell, but in real life, she was totally different from what we saw in the movies. Movie star or not, she was still a human being, and I don't think a lot of people realized that (except for the ones who knew her on a personal level). I honestly don't think a lot of peeople appreciated her for who she truly was, until they lost her.
I find it strange how a murder hasn't been ruled out as a cause. Also how 1 of the doctors could not be located. She had a rare, unique & beautiful look about her even if the pictures aren't in colour & a astonishing body. Everything seemed to be on the downfall for her too which she managed to turn around. But her work commitments were brutal so it dosen't surprise me that something like this would happen. I hope with the more recent deaths of Ledger & Jackson that it won't happen again.
The most desirable women had to go through so much pain and torment. Absolutely awful. I'm not religious, but I do hope Norma is looking down from heaven and she can see how many people still love her.
It is true, It wasn't until they opened Marilyn up in autopsy that they saw the deplorable state of her lungs. The sob's at Fox never forgave her for standing up for herself.
indeed....cuckor was a doll tho, a real gentle man, great with female leads, even the toughest women to deal with. He got the best out of marilyn monroe and judy garland, two of the greatest and notoriously complicated and difficult actresses to work with. cuckor was a nice guy according to many.
Marilyn was so was there biggest hit but they chose to pay elizabeth taylor more money and instead of firing her because of the costly production of celoptra they chose to fire the one actress that could save the studio.
I was born 80 days after MARILYN's 30th birthday. The site of my birth is filled with Murphy Memorial Hospital abbreviated identification. Murph. Memor.
@brittanynicolefield1 People say bad things about MM because they only view her as "just a woman", and see it as their right the criticize and condemn. To be honest.. I'm over that kind of Judgmental behavior myself. The woman has been dead for years and deserves to be left alone.
Marilyn Monroe is my favorite sex-symbol woman ever. She's the most beauty girl ever :D, she wanted to be an actress, she may not was really great actress, but yes she's the sexiest girl ever, and a big star actress. RIP.
Marilyn Manroe was beautiful and all heads would turn and she died and I think someone killed her and she was erratic and stand offish at times and she wasn't easy to work with I am sure and Hollywood was a cut throat business and you either make it or you don't and many young actresses tried their best and Hollywood is too corrupted now and so many actors try to get their big break and its impossible Marilyn Manroe died and it was a cover up and I think she was going to expose the Kennedy's for what they were and JFK died in 1963 and Bobby Kennedy died too. 3 people dead? I find that odd that JFK died after Marilyn Manroe died and it was an abuse of power and someone wanted them dead. Even Bobby Kennedy when he was going to run for President! Nobody can be Marilyn Manroe nobody there is only one Marilyn Manroe and she was was the first Playboy Centerfold and in Hollwyood there is a you tube channel called Doomed To Die Hollywood's curses and Marilyn Manroe was the first ever Playboy Centerfold Curse so was Anna Nicole Smith who tired to be like Marilyn Manroe. I find it hard to believe that no one knows the cause of death of Marilyn Manroe so many other actors and rock stars died too under drugs and booze and shooting themselves like The Superman Curse! It is worth being a movie star in Hollywood???? I won't want it. Not in a million years I would rather be a loser and a nobody. Nobody would love me.
