I just feel a connection with Marilyn Monroe. I just love her. I just completely feel what she went through.

Marilyn Monroe
I loved her so greatly
I wedded, a blond
She spoke with a scouse accent
When her roots turned russet.

They've tried to manufacture other Marilyn Monroes and they will undoubtedly keep trying. But it won't work. She was an original.

Everything Marilyn does is different from any other woman, strange and exciting, from the way she talks to the way she uses that magnificent torso.

There's nobody in the world like me. I think every decade has an iconic blonde, like Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana and, right now, I'm that icon.

Marilyn Monroe was no fun to work with. She would report to work around 5:00 in the evening. You've been in make-up since 8:30 in the morning waiting for her.

For me, it's a compliment to be compared with Marilyn, the unforgettable actress, the most beautiful one of all. But, curves aside, we have very little in common.

So, I think that Marilyn, what she gave the world, and in many ways Kennedy too, was that they had dreams and they didn't allow anybody to take away their dreams.

One night some short weeks ago, for the first time in her not always happy life, Marilyn Monroe's soul sat down alone to a quiet supper from which it did not rise.

I was just thinking of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe and how young they were when they died. I would like to be a pop icon who survives. I would like to be a living icon.

You can take Elvis. You can take Marilyn Monroe. Success and fame will not be the answer if something inside of you is bothering you, if things in your mind aren't going right.

There was something about Marilyn. She couldn't act her way out of a bag, but she became an icon because something happened between her and the lens, and no one knows what it is.

I’m Maurice Chevalier’s Niece

I’m Maurice’s niece,

I am French like he.

I painted the Eiffel tower,

where he was born,

He is happy, too bad he’s gone.

I could have been

in a movie

with him,

He would sing

to Melodie

I think it will be helpful to people because I know the expectations that are put on you as a sex symbol, and how Marilyn Monroe suffered and so on, and I was able to get free of that.

I used to sit near Marilyn Monroe in the Actor's Studio. She'd get dressed up because that was her identity. Sad. Those cameras wouldn't leave her alone. She didn't know where to hide.

When I was growing up watching Marilyn Monroe, I learned that you can be very beautiful, very glamorous and very vulnerable and not give up your soul just because you were a movie star.

Marilyn was terrible to work with. I was fond of her, she was a nice girl, but she was a damaged girl. She was very difficult. You couldn't get her on the set; she didn't know the words.

Splicing Together Star Performances

managers producers
editors splicing waste scenes
Marilyn Monroe takes

so many takes
illnesses personal problems
so difficult stars

on screen illusions
sleep disturbances
substance abuses

Marilyn

flyposted on walls allover Hollywood
for the pink Cadillac parade
of Marilyn Monroe's graven image

Biblical in platinum and gold

Come and get it
your portion of the victim
before the sacrifice is made
