HAPPY 90TH BIRTHDAY MARILYN!!!! As the description says, this video is dedicated purely to Marilyn's career in film. Instead of just re-making the same video over and over again, I wanted to do something completely different for this, my third Marilyn tribute. As a result, this video features no real-life footage of Marilyn and no real-life quotes. Because of her "sex symbol" status, Marilyn's considerable acting abilities are often underestimated and/or overlooked. I hope this video shows people a different side of Marilyn and demonstrates the considerable range she showed throughout her incredible (but tragically short) acting career.
This video came about entirely by accident. I heard this instrumental version of "Summertime Sadness" a few weeks ago and immediately thought of Marilyn. I then got my hands on "A Ticket to Tomahawk" (1950)- one of only a handful of films I'm missing from her filmography- and decided to start playing around in Sony Vegas. From there it all came together quite quickly...which is unusual for me these days (UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR). Whenever I work on a video for an actor or actress, I like to see if their birthday or death anniversary is on the horizon- to give me something to aim for- and LOW AND BEHOLD Marilyn's 90th Birthday was just around the corner, inspiring me to finish this in record time (again, editing hasn't been easy for me lately). I'm so happy I was able to make something for her. She is incredibly important to me and it makes me happy that I was able to honor her in some small way.
I'm sure I've done this before, but my Top 5 Marilyn films are (in order of release); All About Eve, The Asphalt Jungle, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Some Like it Hot and T H E M I S F I T S. The Misfits (1961) gets capitals and spaces because I also consider it to be one of my TOP 5 FILMS OF ALL-TIME. FULL STOP. Admittedly, All About Eve (1950) and The Asphalt Jungle (1950) are not necessarily great Marilyn films (her role is quite small in both), but more great films PERIOD. I love a lot of the films on this list...you can't really go wrong with Marilyn (unless you're watching her pre-1952 films which are VERY hit and miss). Also, if you haven't seen "The Misfits", you should change that immediately. It'll tear your heart into a million pieces, especially if you know anything about the principle cast and their lives pre and post-filming.
