Why is there so much criticism in the comments section of Marilyn Monroe? Is that even fair? Regardless of the comments, Marilyn Monroe is in heaven. Sure, she wasn't perfect. But there is something called the gift of grace (see Ephesians 2:8-9), and Marilyn had it. The Bible says that anyone who loves knows God (see 1John 4:7), and Marilyn Monroe loved children. She donated her money to children's charities and orphanages, and she loved embracing children in her arms. God bless Marilyn Monroe, the world-famous superstar whom many people still love today. For a great book about the life of Ms. Monroe, I recommend *"Hello, Norma Jeane: The Marilyn Monroe You Didn't Know"* , written by author Elisa Jordan. I have my signed copy of the book on the desk right next to me. Have a blessed day.

I’ll never understand why the Kennedy’s are so highly revered. Their history is so full of bad behavior.

Curse, my foot. It’s called karma.

[@Truehealth77]

Look at JFK's rescue of his surviving crew members on PT 109 during World War II, one of the greatest acts of heroism in war time in the history of the US. What he and his brother did for African Americans, the poor. JFK and our American Ambassadors saved us from a nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis. JFK fired one of the most corrupt CIA directors ( Dulles ), and so much more. His sister created the Special Olympics. Robert Kennedy brought down many of the big mob members at the threat to his life. He was going to end the Vietnam War. These stories don't line up with the people they are known to be. I could go on and on. Where is the evidence in what this woman in the video speaks of? We all know Kennedy had affairs, he had sexual addictions, as did MLK. Measure them based on the good they did too. This is short-sided, at the very least.

I believe it was her last public appearance. I actually just found a quote by him about the encounter: Pearson (played for Angels 1961-66): "When she took her life, or whatever happened, it really devastated me. I looked into her eyes, and she looked so lonely. I remembered every Bible verse I ever learned while I was staring at her. She asked me, ‘What? What is it you want to tell me?’ I didn’t want her to think I was some kind of a religious nut, so I held it in. It put my life on a different path from that day on. I saw past that woman’s beauty.

I am a 70 year old boomer woman who fought for a decent career and respect. Why don't people realize times were very different for women in the 1960s - 1970s? There was so much discrimination.

And yet, an anti-predator movement turned out to be led by multiple people (that we know of) that had sex with underage teenagers.

I love and adore Marilyn, but she made the decision to get with the Kennedys, and this is not to say that she was a cynical person who didn't have a heart, not at all, by that point I think she was so distraught that she messed up. They both are at fault, but IF the Kennedys had something to do with Marilyn's passing then that's just evil. She didn't deserve any of it, yes she made mistakes, many of them, but I doubt that she would ever intentionally cause someone harm, she just wanted to be loved.

It was the president of the United States and his brother! They were public figures! Even through all of her unhappiness and self loathing, Marilyn should’ve known better than to get involved with these guys.

[@tiffanysweeley4553]

I also don’t understand why people idolize Marilyn Monroe so much I mean I’m sorry, but she and Kim Kardashian are two of the same kind of people. Marilyn was a homewrecker. She slept with married men yet. People think that she’s some type of incredible woman. It just goes to show the moral decline and where we put our values when it comes to women. The feminist don’t want women to be objectified for their body yet probably 98% of women absolutely adore Marilyn Monroe. But she and Kim Kardashian and Anna Nicole Smith are all the same. She’s no icon of virtue or character that I would look up to or want my daughters to look up to it anyway the only people that really looked up to her were men because they wanted to be with her.
