I assume that Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jean Mortensen) had bipolar disorder, changing the mood from very happy to very deep depressed. In a deep depression episode patients can't move out, a lot of anxiety against people until they recover. In a very deep depression episode they can commit suicide. Bipolar patients should not stay alone a long time or should have pets, so have an animal to care for! Sometimes for patients with bipolar disorder other human confrontation could be very painfull for them!

As Shelley said, Marilyn had very poor self-esteem and what self-esteem she had came from being beautiful and desirable to ALL men. At 36, Marilyn was already in a panic about her looks; her face, her wrinkles, her breasts, her weight, her loss of youthfulness. Shelley adored Marilyn. You only have to see photos of her and Marilyn at an awards event, (shown @6:32), to see the true affection that these two talented women had for each other.

We had to wait in line because it was so busy, and my stepson was really young and bored and wiggling around as kids do, when all of a sudden this woman trips over his foot and starts to fall! I grabbed her arm and her companion grabbed the other so at least she didn't fall all the way to the ground. I kept saying that we were so sorry, that he didn't mean to trip her, etc. and when I started to let go of her arm and saw her face, I saw that it was Shelley Winters!!! I was so embarrassed, but she was so sweet and said not to worry about it. She was so kind and we almost made her fall! Thank you so much for this great compilation, I really enjoyed it :)

Dne End, I really would not say Shelley Winters was underrated - Hollywood did award her with two Oscars, along with two additional nominations. Back in the early-to-mid1970's (as a young teen), I would be allowed to stay up late (on a "school night") whenever Shelley was scheduled to appear on the Carson show (another legend!) She could be incredibly brilliant and funny in the most off-handed way. One example, which I can still recall and laugh at - Shelley was relating to Johnny that she spent 100,000 dollars (a huge bundle of money then, and a good sum now) on psychiatric help to determine the reason for her attraction to "Latin men." The studio audience grew very quiet, and after a couple of seconds, Johnny asked her if she "ever found out the reason." Shelley, now fixing her dress, said (in her loud voice) "Yes, it was because I LIKED THEM!" Needless to say, the audience roared with laughter. This was no audience laugh against Shelley, the crowd was fully with her. Johnny Carson absolutely loved her and she was a special guest dozens of times over his 30 year run on late-night TV.

Probably available for cheap in paperback online. One of my fave stories of hers was about how Liz Taylor wasn’t terribly bright; one day, while making the movie “A Place In the Sun,” they were in their room together and Shelley asked Liz what the date was. Liz replied she did ‘t know, and Shelley pointed out that there was a newspaper right next to Liz. To which Liz replied, “Oh, that’s no good. That’s yesterday’s paper!” 😄😄😄

They were so young, talented and ambtious, yet vulnerable, beautiful and sensitive and only hoping they'd be happy and fulfilled. It breaks my heart that Marilyn's fate would take a dark path, darker than we could have ever imagined and Shelly Winters would live to tell us all in KZbin. She was the closest one could ever be to Marilyn when she was just a simple girl with huge goals yet unsure of her future. Marilyn was so precious.

Elvis and Monroe met only once. He was entering a building and she was leaving. Those spoke a few moments in that lobby of the building and they never saw each other again. Imagine watching that moment take place. It does not get more iconic than that moment.

Aw, I love Shelley! I read her auto-biographies (yes, she had two) back in the day, and fully enjoyed them. Always bright, honest, and never at a loss for words - a wonderful woman. When I read her first book, I was delighted to learn that we shared the same birthday - August 18th. Cheers to Shelley Winters, and of course, Marilyn.

I always love the stories Shelley Winters told about Marilyn. One of the very few who said good things about Marilyn, others talked about her as Actress and being late on stage etc. Jane Russell, also said good things about her however did not keep in touch with her after their successful movie (Gentlemen Prefer Blondes). Shelley said that Mariyln did not have any family, however she did. She found out when she was 12yrs old that she had a sister and a brother (who died at 15) and her sister was I believe 19yrs old. They looked so much alike and you could see what Mariyln would have looked like if she lived to 100yrs old. Maryilyn did keep in contact with her sister and they were finally able to meet up right before she became famous (when she was about 19yrs old). Marilyn, I believe also met her mother too.

Shelley told a great story on herself when she was out hawking her bio. She said she was going down a stairway and passed a man who said, "Hi Shelley." She looked at him and he could tell she didn't recognize him. He said, You don't remember me, do you?" and she said, "No." He said, I'm Tony Franciosa, your third husband."

Actually, Marilyn got pregnant with Tony Curtis' baby while filming "Some like it Hot". He may have been married at the time, but did NOT want her to have a baby! Maybe he thought it was somebody else's? Who knows? So because she resisted getting an abortion, he disliked her. So there were hard feelings between them. Not many people know about this. Certainly Shelley would not reveal this after her death. So I wouldn't put much into what Tony Curtis' said. He liked trying the goods but didn't want to buy them! So much for him. He was bisexual and didn't want his style cramped. She would not have gone for that. He knew it. In the famous scene with Tony and Lawrence Olivier in Kubrick's 'Spartacus' in the spa (That was really true between them, the tryst) although it wasn't real obvious at the time in the movies. I believe Shelley knew Marilyn in the early days, and they were friends. But later on, Shelley wasn't in Marilyn's league, and she was a bit envious of all her attention. It is not true that Marilyn suicided. She was murdered. Shelley did not extend into Marilyn's life in her later years, but you can see her trying to get alot of attention by talking about what she did know about her. That is not to say that Shelley wasn't a good actress. I am not taking that part away from her. It's just that they did not run in the same circles like the Rat Pack which Marilyn did, add of course her affair with JFK and RFK. I have read MANY books about Marilyn and the unfortunate thing is Marilyn kept a red diary about all her liason's, and that Pres. Jack had told her about UFO's. The CIA was worried that may get out, the mob used her for their " club events" at Frank's Cal Neva resort, and she was tired of being used and abused. She threatened to expose them all, and Peter Lawford (Pat Kennedy's gay husband at the time) managed to convince her psychaiatrist that she would rat on him too, so after the mob tried to shut her up unsuccessfully, Dr. Greenson DID. In front of the EMT going out the door to the ambulance! It was all on audio tape thanks to Hoover from the FBI trying to scandalize the Kennedy's, who had threatened to expose the fact (he was gay). And Mrs. Murray the housekeeper was a spy for Lawford and Dr. Greenson. In later years, the testimony of the Coroner and the EMT worker finally admitted she did not commit suicide. ( Not publicly) It was from S. Giancona's men - an enema; and shot to the heart of Nembutal. It took more than they thought because her use built up a tolerance to the drug. These stars all protect one another, and will never disclose the real stuff. They just want to be center of attention after their own star fades. Besides, nobody wants some other has been telling all "their goodies" after they die for fame and attention.

Marilyn Monroe had so many personal issues including abandonment issues which was hard for her to stay alone. She felt in her life she couldn't stay by herself and needed a man to keep her company. It is sad she couldn't be strong by herself because this is how so many men took advantage of her.

When you look back a lot of those that claimed to be friends especially Peter Lawford who pimped Marilyn to Kennedy and then his brother Robert.

@@angelacarleton9575 Yes I agree but you neglected to state the fact that a noted satanic worshiper in that group was part of Anton LaVey's cult. Lawford and the Kennedy's killed her. The evidence is astounding for murder but even if it was not murder it was them who pushed her to that point. I think she was MUCH stronger than we think or give her credit for and the media has destroyed the true person she was. She survived so much and someone who wants to kill themselves is usually not telling people she is in fear for her life the SAME day she was found died. She would have not cared. She did have people who loved her sadly though she had others who used her and likely estranged those relationships like her current dr/psychiatrist the one who "found" her dead.
