Old Hollywood Stars on Marilyn Monroe

[@eckankar7756]

One of my friends was a kid when MM was filming the rodeo scene in Phoenix for Bus Stop. At one place she was sitting on a bleacher and dropped her purse to the ground. My friend got under the seats and got her purse for her. She smiled, pulled out a dollar bill and autographed it for him. He still had it till his death in the 1990s. I assume someone in his family has that autographed dollar now.

A truly wonderful contribution from Mitzi Gaynor. I am glad she said Marilyn was very talented because she was and that is not always realised

[@johngalvin3124]

Stories from people with nothing to gain giving an honest description of Marilyn, reveal a lovely young woman who had a few self-image concerns. Poignantly, none of them had a bad word to say about her, and felt protective towards her. A lot of people still do.

[@Gigi1111Layna]

I love your comment bc it's very true and genuinely thought through. You said what u wanted to so nothing more to say. Except maybe.. We all love Marilyn and appreciate her for her truth and of course her work and achievements, fought hard for in a sometimes very cruel and cold life❤🌹❤🌹✨🕯🕯

[@vincentl.9469]

@@Gigi1111Layna If I can add my 3 cents worth here. Although she was marketed, whether intentionally or not, as a sex symbol, there was nothing in her films that was too explicit; no bedroom scenes, no full nudity-unlike now. She retained a certain child like quality within her. That was changing towards the end. there was a certain mental instability there too and she became friendly with the wrong people. You can go in any corner of the world and her image is there. You cant say that of too many other actresses ...🌺

A friend from school picked me up one night to go out. When we got in the car, he turned on the radio and we heard Marilyn had died. We both sat stunned for about five minutes before we could speak. Tragic loss. Years later, I was walking fast into Maiden Lane in San Francisco and ran right into a man and we both nearly fell. He put his arms out to hold me from falling and when I looked up it was Joe DiMaggio. My first thought was Marilyn! Bless her heart. We all miss her.

Joan Rivers? When/how

[@neildickson5394]

@@theturtlearchives Marilyn and Joan met at a cocktail party in NYC in early 1962 when Marilyn was 35 and Joan was 28, tho in a book written about this encounter Joan claimed to be 17. I can't find the book right now or I'd pass along the authors name. The book is about Marilyn's association with many celebrities many would not associate with Marilyn. Of course NYC was Marilyn's home for 7 years, to her death. In the interview Joan describes the encounter with Marilyn and their conversation. She says Marilyn was very modern in her look, attire. She complained to Joan about men, and all they cared about were boobs. Arthur Miller happened to be at the same event. Joan was at the time appearing in some off Broadway show.

[@BattleBecause]

​@@neildickson5394Joan is gone now but she was known for her tall stories and outright lies so l wouldn't take anything she said seriously. No evidence to back up anything she said. It's highly unlikely she met Marilyn.

[@neildickson5394]

I later found that book, it's "I Met Marilyn by Neil Sean, published by CreateSpace. Joan said, 'What I remember most is how tiny she was - not the big buxom blonde we see in the media,’ said Rivers. ‘We talked about the New York theatre and I asked her advice about acting agents. She was really helpful. Then Marilyn suddenly turned to me and said: “Men, they’re all the same. They’re just stupid and they like big boobs. Like Debbie Reynolds, Rivers was convinced Marilyn was murdered. ‘Sure, she was a pill addict and had problems, but none of the story of her death stacks up. I blame the Kennedys: without a doubt, she got mixed up in some terrible trouble. ‘Given all she had going for her, why would she suddenly kill herself? She wasn’t the type to do it.’

I think the constant glamour and attention maybe took its toll on her. It was a nice thing to experience for a while but after a time you just want to be normal or you again and I think she realized that she was too deep into the persona to ever escape it

[@asanta2023]

Exactly..,best comment about MM I’ve read in awhile.., I also wonder if she had had children if it would’ve made a difference for her. But then again, I wonder how life would’ve been for her children. I also think she was taken advantage of.

[@Songbirdstress]

Wonderful to hear these people who knew her as Norma Jean just kids all together.

[@dogsalwaysbarkatbetamaleswoof]

It seems (per Doris) that MM suffered from extreme insecurity or imposter syndrome which made her self conscious. There are quite a few people like that. It isn’t as rare as people might think. Doris isn’t the first person to convey how MM gave off helpless vibes. You can see it in many pictures how sad her eyes were most of time. Any gala and show that was put on was where MM could soar because she knew no one would question her abilities when it came to that.

​@@edie4321 It's not so much Idol worship, more an appreciation of Monroe's talent and sadness for her. She had / has a confused persona that people can't get their heads around - how can someone who was so beautiful and talented be so sad? Doesn't make sense, does it. So people are drawn to her to see if they can find an answer to the Monroe puzzle. No one's solved it yet. Well, it can't be solved.

[@edie4321]

@@BattleBecause , Maybe she wasn't that good of an actor. People should know that there's a high price to be paid for being famous, it's called your soul. In knowing what Hollywood is truly about, there are plenty of reasons for the sadness.

Had she had that, she never would have become a pill or alcohol addict. People who know themselves, do not become addicts. She tried, though. How she tried, and she is actually more lauded for that than for anything. Her fans, the world, people who worked with her, all saw the lost Marilyn, but wanted to see her WIN and be HAPPY.

Too bad she couldn't merge them both, as the world only wanted to see Marilyn Monroe, and less Norma Jean. I have always thought she was captivating, I think had she found a real true love and had children, she possibly would have had a much longer life.

After all...she was not a blonde but a brunette. 😂 It is a paradox that a world famous sex symbol was not able to get children. Because in fact the biological purpose of sex is to make children.
