Marilyn Monroe Presents Sound Recording: 1951 Oscars

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

BTW: It's weird to think that this was 63 years ago. For them in 1951, 63 years ago was 1888!

[@boxingmatch]

You truly blew my mind with that... didn't even think about it.

[@lynnturman8157]

musicaltheatergeek79 Yeah, I do that kind've thing a lot to. Like to me, the 70s don't seem that long ago. But if you think of 1915, the 1870s seemed like a LONG time before that.

[@conradsmithlacsina4166]

+musicaltheatergeek79 Why, that's amusing if you come to think of it. My impulse is to make several calculations when I see a year like "this was about some x years before internet" etc, but I hadn't thought of doing that one before. Doing that is pretty interesting too.

[@oakvillecenter904]

+musicaltheatergeek79 funny thing is that you have 63 likes on this comment!!! creepy!

[@lanacastillo49]

+musicaltheatergeek79 im not sure if this is a weird phenomenon coz I do that too. Back in 1999 when I was 17, we were watching the TV counting down for the New Year. I remember feeling so excited because there was so much fuss about the Y2K bug back then. As the countdown was about to begin.. I thought to myself, did the people in the year 1000 AD ever thought of what it's like to be in the year 2000, what life and the world would be like? yet here I am alive and present going into the year 2000 wondering what life and the world will be like in the year 3000. And by that time, will there be a person like myself who will also think of what I just thought as well? really weird...we should make a club for people who think like you and me.

She was fake fake fake, it took me years to see that she isnt a positive icon or inspiration other than admiring her face, the fact that an adult has to construct a drastically diferent demenor depending in where you are and the people you are with is a sing of how poor and weak your actual personality is, no sence of self, no pride in who you are, dating married man and talking like a 8 year old when she was in her 30's, to apeal man , the way she walks and moves ,everything is sexualized .

[@oldyellerschannel4676]

I believe if ALL of you who think Marilyn wasn't Platinum Blonde yet, should have a look at the footage of her in "All About Eve" in which she played a young starlet, attending the party accompanied by the Hollywood Critic, and where Margo (Bette Davis) declares to everyone they should "Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night." Marilyn is DEFINITELY Platinum Blonde in that movie, and obviously, "All About Eve", was filmed before these awards, so...

[@andrewbrendan1579]

It's been a longtime since I read about the change in her hair but if I rightly remember, Marilyn's hair was toned-down some for the role she was playing in one of her films, maybe "Don't Bother to Knock".

[@donngodfather285]

Marilyn was so much more than she's made out to be on the surface! Read her bio, her poems, her letters---she really wanted to improve herself but felt so low because of what happened to her as an orphan. I am almost done with her autobiography and I almost cried, it was so honest, so different than other Hollywood bios! I can't believe she was told she was unphotogenic at first! I just read about this part and her Joan Crawford "feud", though some say there's more to it than she says...

[@KimberlySauerVideo]

It's in her autobiography 'My Story'. I'm reading it now, and it's the saddest book I've ever read. The way people treated her was absolutely awful! She deserved so much more in life than what she had.
