The Teenage And Modeling Years - As Told By Marilyn Monroe

[@this-is-not-just-a-pr-fail3263]

The arranged marriage was a great practical solution that gave her the autonomy she needed. She’s so lucky he ended up being a nice guy.

[@szee8588]

Her only nice husband

[@raynaclarke3488]

I think Marilyn was secure in the fact that people were drawn to her and saw some thing special in her and she played into that but she just didn't know what that thing was or why people were so into her. She was never cocky with all the attention she got, always seemed so humble.

[@tigergreg8]

Funny how we are both watching this so close in time and I find your comment to describe her and her situation very well. She must have been a great friend to many.

[@raynaclarke3488]

tigergreg8 I agree. Im certain she's the type that would have sat down and had a beer with you had you asked, asking questions with those wide eyes, interested in even the most mundane details, no matter who you were. I think she radiated and projected love everywhere she went yet never got as much back and always yearned for it. Such a beautiful tortured soul.

[@mrdewonderful1201]

Rayna Clarke For heaven's sake, stop it!! Sniff :'(

[@raynaclarke3488]

MrDeWonderful Sorry, I guess it proves the affect she has, even so long after she has gone. On men and women!

[@baberina1]

She was cocky at times, but not on film or camera, not to be seen... And here she was just yet discovering herself... Who she was and what her powers were... Also, it was a different time... Women were women... And men were men. There was a care in the world, some sort of decency. I don't mean to take away from your comment or lessen it , bit it just isn't 100% correct.

[@andrewbrendan1579]

When Marilyn was speaking about the world opening up she spoke with more enthusiasm than I've ever heard in her voice in an interview. Though I think a lot of the attention she was getting was the wrong kind it must have been a euphoric time for Norma Jeane.

[@marissaghost]

Andrew Brendan I agree, she never looked and sounded as happy as she did in these photos and videos, even if it was a delusion

[@ARosethatBloomsinEarlyMay]

When she woke up from the delusion later in her life, she realized the harsh truth, glee turned to implicit sadness, sheer smile were replaced with fake ones, shining eyes to downcast eyes.

[@szee8588]

Yes, they say orphans (i know technically she wasn't) get used to being invisible.

[@yaronkl]

As beautiful as she was, I feel that photos alone don't really reflect her true appeal. Marilyn tone of voice and the way she spoke, her body language and facial expressions - they added so much more depth to her appeal. That's why her films, videos and audio are so fascinating and she is so appealing . When I read this inteview in LIFE magazine, it was nothing compared to the audio.

[@lilmogwaii]

There's something very comforting about watching videos like this.. People were simpler, makes me think of my grandparents.

[@jessicalynn8607]

Yep! Take me back!

[@puurrrr]

*wow it's the first time that she sounds so neutral..*

[@profesorhaven]

This is the first time in 52 years I've heard that Marilyn's mother's maiden name was MONROE! I thought it was fabricated. I love listening to Marilyn & I'm so grateful to KZbin for posting such awesome videos.

[@ajs41]

Her natural hair colour was beautiful.

[@nj6505]

💋🕊🌹

[@rababmed3277]

What was it red ?

[@pendragonU]

@@rababmed3277 it was dark red like her mother's But after being blonde like most or many children until she was 10-11 y.o. she started experimenting with peroxides to add some light to it at times, however not going all the way blonde until she met Andre de Dienes, her first serious photographer around 1945-46 right after separation from her young husband. But she kept such look only for a few months before changing back to darker tones. Still for a few more years she went by different shades of Strawberry blondes, as Rita and Lucille Ball had done and were highly fashionable then, until her full change into the golden short mane Hollywood transformation, that became almost her own trademark for the rest of the 1950's. By the early 60's she was going into almost albino platinum blondes and a little longer mane less curlier

[@RiDER-RHYTHM]

I so wish we could of been looking back on a long life, instead of wishing for might have beens. She deserved so much more.

[@dw9932]

That is crazy i was called ugly by classmates as a kid i look like my distant cousin Norma Jeane Mortensen "Marilyn Monroe" before her makeover its like woah this is crazy and cool

[@barbarakaufman320]

so super intelligent and thoughtful , and gorgeous yet so lonely

[@baberina1]

Because nobody saw her as a real human being, with real human emotions, they just saw her for what they wanted.. . Usually just a sex object... Both men and women... More men, usually women because of their own insecurities saw her as stupid and empty.

[@cathybess1297]

I like her voice too! It's soothing.

[@slydakota8143]

It's really sad that such an intelligent being only felt accepted and wanted by the world when she changed sexually. That's how the world opened up for her. Sad.

[@mmhthree]

She didn't seem sad about it

[@TheLaurajlee]

What do you mean changed sexually

[@3martiniplaydate]

Well, she did say that she rather enjoyed the attention. But I do understand what you mean. A child, especially a girl should have love and attention from the get go.

[@nj6505]

thank you

[@dianem8254]

Beautiful voice gorgeous everything most perfectly made woman ever 💋

[@Timotheus157]

Amazing footage and audio of Marilyn Monroe. Thank you so very much!

[@PG-wz7by]

The world was closed and she felt outside :( I realize she says the world opened up to her, but maybe because she was seen from the outside. I don't think those lonely earlier feelings left.

[@MarilynMonroeSITE]

Absolutely wonderful upload, insightful thankyou!

[@marilynmonroevideoarchives]

Marilyn Monroe SITE love that colour footage of NJ :)) and to think alot of that was Marilyn talking only weeks before her death

Could you turn on automatic subtitles? Translations made like this are not always clear, but sometimes they help a lot. I don't understand much English, unfortunately, and I would like to understand the contents of this interview.

[@IanP1963]

She was a great actress really, never given a proper chance sadly....!!!

[@rosie6]

M-m-m- MM!! She was born to be a start, so much foreshadowing in her given nickname

[@alwaysblake148]

"Ladies of the Chorus" is on KZbin. She's too hard on herself. While the movie was run of the mill, she was not. There's a scene in a flower shop. She has not yet become the Marilyn Monroe. But her beauty is staggering. She glows, even then.

[@ninahilton7623]

I agree! I really like LoTC 😊

[@stregadisalem732]

I love that movie.

[@szee8588]

Yes, i thought the same thing about that scene.

[@dw9932]

I'm like my distant cousin Norma Jean "Marilyn Monroe" i am always told im hard on myself too and i look like her too thats the mind blowing thing to find out about i was like woah i was always called ugly as a kid and the kids who said it really like Marilyn Monroe big fans they still dont know im related to her 😂

[@jaywest3734]

Her voice sounded way different here.

[@harrythemusician]

thx so much, for uploading this amazing Docomentary I love it!

[@alexiagiannopoulos5018]

She was adorable!! I love her!!

Прекрасная обворожительная Мэрилин!!!!! Жаль, что так рано ушла из жизни!!!!!

[@charlottelarras9657]

great voice ( so different from these voices of hers in foreign movies which sounded so vulgar )

[@silencieuxasmr6246]

Only felt appreciated by her sexuality... so sad.

[@this-is-not-just-a-pr-fail3263]

Grace the guardian is a disgrace!

[@PG-wz7by]

Wow, she made a great B girl in that screen test.

[@EM-lz9kg]

I loved ladies of the chorus , it’s a really good film , they obviously didn’t c her potential , I think they made her feel bad about the film , she had to pay the rent & did what we all have to , out of desperation. Plus those photos r amazing, she should of insisted on the negatives as they are so valuable , making playboy the biggest men’s mag publication

[@elsamatos8894]

She was Born on the wrong time, and died to soon. She was to advaced for her time. She was/is unique ☀️❤️

[@Mar1983-x3c]

She's definitely no dumb blonde, like the movie portrays her

[@debrafrakes6479]

she was so sweet!

[@RGDCanada]

Listen to her words: what a sweetheart.

[@piper888]

3:18 How prophetic Norma Jean Baker M-m-m == MM

[@rosie6]

No way it’s so true!!!

[@ricardokim4870]

Marilyn monroe, nacional TREASURE.

[@pjlav6304]

I don't understand how the home videos were in color but alot of her work much later was black and white?

[@marissaghost]

Pj lav I think higher quality film was in black and white, as color film was still in it's early stages

[@pobstrel]

Marissa Black and white film was cheaper to process than to shoot using Technicolor.

[@aitch3]

Marriage was the only option over orphanage.

[@skippylance1591]

I'd love to know which band is playing in the background (at very beginning of this film), and what song they are playing. I'll guess it's Benny Goodman and his band. What song, though?

[@collegecareerresults7878]

Begin the Beguine

[@dianem8254]

The song is When They Begin the Beguine

[@EJP286CRSKW]

Despite what everybody is saying here, it is not _Begin the Beguine._ Similar in some ways but it is something else.

[@szee8588]

So pretty and natural.

[@venicebitchh4844]

JFK , karma hit u hard twice !

[@TheLaurajlee]

I walked about 2 miles to school with my best friend Cathy Dunbar.

[@pendragonU]

It's so odd that however Norma Jean spoke about her earlier life after fame, she sounds as if she still did not understand what was happening to her and did just what older adults told her so compliantly thankful they didn't fully ditch her. And that however going over her stuttering, impressively, and after acting speech intensive tutoring before Studios added on it, her ways to speak and inflections are not even truly Angeleno or general Californian, but have that slanted accent like "Okies"... Although, her family had migrated decades earlier from Missouri, Indiana or Virginia, etc. generations before than the Dust Bowl destitute migrants to California. Even her mother or sister did not speak so. And given that she did not grow up with family during most of her childhood, I wonder if it's the "home accent" she acquired when she learned to speak at the Bollanders' boarding home where her mother have entrusted them with her. And where she remained until she was 8 y.o. and her mother felt capable to take her raising her from then, collapsing before a year. And if so, how incredibly had remained with her throughout her whole life. I have heard speak the Bollanders, before but its hard to tell from which part of the US they came from before living in Torrance, California.

[@justStardust940]

why do the home videos have color but the big movies shot years later did not?

[@mih371]

where i can watch the full documentary? please :)

[@elluc1510]

You will find the link on the description of this video

[@volume2517]

You an't understand what she's saying all of the time because of the music. I just want to hear her words, not the music.

[@mkeitel]

Since this is a documentary, how is it that her name is always spelled the wrong way? In the description it says Norma Jeane, but on the video it's Norma Jean.

[@marilynmonroevideoarchives]

"Norma Jeane" is on her birth certificate! so i use "JEANE" www.google.com.au/search?q=marilyn+monroe+birth+certificate&rlz=1C1CHBD_en-GBAU785AU785&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi5m7DG6sTaAhXIoZQKHb4ACSIQ_AUICigB&biw=1366&bih=662#imgrc=6b1J4MoqHkp1PM:

[@musicaltheatergeek79]

"Mortenson" is also the surname on her birth certificate, but she was baptized "Norma Jean Baker" and that's the name she went by as a child, until she got married. Her first wedding announcements even spelled it "Norma Jean" (no extra 'E'). img6.bdbphotos.com/images/orig/3/v/3v7r2cff7wa5ffwr.jpg?skj2io4l

[@mkeitel]

There seems to be lots of confusion whether she was baptized Jean or Jeane. No photo of the certificate of baptism can be found in the net. That link you gave doesn't work. It says "forbidden".
