Sleeping pills? It seems like she had some sort of issues if she had to take them to fall asleep. Usually when you can't sleep it's because something is on your mind that troubles you and that you can't stop thinking about.
Illuminati? Never the less she was a beautiful human being, she had an amazing soul :)
She wasn't dumb. If you listen carefully to all the things she's ever said, she's actually a very witty person, it's just her fake persona and mannerisms she puts on that allowed the media to portray her as a 'dumb blonde'. She's not even naturally blond...
I think it's such a disservice to remember her as a sex symbol. From this interview you can tell that she was a very intelligent, sweet, yet vulnerable woman. She was much more than the dumb blonde she was made out to be. Poor thing, I don't think anybody was ever there for her.
The hollywood scene can do anyones head in, It's a shame that Marilyn didn't have any real family to look out for her. She needed people on her side. It may seem strange but she reminds of Britney Spears when she was going through her breakdown. But the difference was Britney had her parents to step in and help her.
"I hope we got something here?" Marilyn was a whole hell of a lot smarter than they gave her credit for. Her intuition and understanding of fame is poetic and lyrical. As a male of the species, I just want to swoop down and rescue her. Just incredible.
Thank god women, in this day and age, are now not deemed "crazy" for expressing emotion. Obviously she had moments of depression..but by no means was she crazy. Every time she expresses any sort of emotion in this interview the narrator says shes unstable...love that this interview shows she had guts. truly great.
This is why I would never want to be famous. People don't really love you. They love your image, they love who they think you are. Can you imagine? no privacy, no real life. If you want any sort of normal existence you have to lock yourself inside your house and close the blinds so the photographers can't sneak a picture of you changing or watching tv. (Who even cares about if the celebrities are buying toilet paper, or walking their dog I mean really?!) Wow what a life. sounds like hell.
@pisceanmind I agree it is hell weather being a movie or a music star but that sad part of having a life as a star is you get all the downside crap that goes along with it and many weeks months years of no privacy or normal life
@RongGENG60 Yes she was! I mean she wore lots of makeup most of the time, but have you seen her pictures without makeup? She is still gorgeous! Not "Hollywood pin-up model" looking, but normal "woman walking down the street" beautiful! If she wasn't famous and you saw natural her, I'm sure you'd think she looked great.
if she was so unstable and hard to handle then why did 20th century fox hire her again to finish the movie...let's you know Marilyn obviously wasn't the problem
I don't like this interviewer, either. Marilyn was more complex than many men knew how to deal with. Too many tried to put her in her place, into a 1-dimensional role that would make them feel safer & in control. Treat her like a sex kitten, or like a child, or like a dumb blonde. But don't treat her w/respect or allow her too much power. She was so powerful in her beauty & sexuality that those around her couldn't deal w/her having anything other than that, including probs. Very sad.
How heartbroken she looks at the divorce announcemt.That's not an act. She talks about liking to play house where she could set her own boundaries. Sounds like someone whose boundaries weren't clear as a child or had been invaded. She says 2x she's not paranoid-prob when she would stand up to the studio, she would be rebuffed by "Oh stop being paranoid". And, I know a few adults w/ADHD/OCD who never can be on time. Don't know if she was but being habitually late isn't always arrogance or drugs.
And regarding her being late...she was absolutely tight to not set foot on set until SHE was ready. Thanks to her doing that we got her best work. As director Billy WIlder said " I would rather have Marilyn late on set than any other actress on time". Damn right.
The same time she was such a "problem" missing all those days of work...Elizabeth Taylor was missing weeks of work being drunk, f*cking, & blowing married Richard Burton. The studio not only backed her but hey had to sell the bak lot to be able to pay for that clunker Cleopatra. Marilyn got the last laugh because even though the studios and others tried to crush her soul....it ultimately lives on.
@dancesonpoles Simple, she was known for here extreme beauty and sex appeal. This has been going on since the the dawining of mankind and always will be.
@catsonghit Um, what? The beginning of man kind? She hasn't been around that long and the topic on her "extreme beauty" is a matter of opinion. I know many people, myself included who do not consider that "extreme beauty." Doesn't make it right or wrong. I personally think she is over rated and have seen and know many women who are far more beautiful and yet they are under rated.
@catsonghit You are absolutely correct, it's a matter of an opinion. Well, I guess millions of others felt she was beautiful and her career was a success for a reason. As for the dawning of man kind statement; I meant women have been famous because of their beauty and sex appeal for many. She's still talked about today and some of todays younger stars try and be like her. When you stated that you were so confused why she was such an icon, I tried to help; that's all.
@catsonghit ur replying to urself and he didnt mean she has since the begining of time the world has been known to like sex appeal and she was and still is the # 1 bombshell..ya get it..so much so she was given pills and became an alcoholic cos of being molested and not having a stable parent..ever.her mom was commited and she prob was a lil crazy needed help with her past but they didnt care they wanted her to work to make them money and paid her in bus change
Just goes to show, it doesn't matter how rich, beautiful & successful you are, all those things don't bring happiness. Rip marilyn, such an amazing woman, taken too soon xox
i just love how classy she is....she never had to give too much flesh away to get attention..its what people nowadays should remember...great role model for people my age :)
@iadoremichaeljacko that was the 1950's-60's though....and for that time period...it was slutty...im sorry but that is what made her famous...her body, face, and provocative outfits...i mean i like her...but lets be real here
The Problem was NO ONE SHOWED MARILYN OR Norma Jeane Mortenson that she was worth anything till she died! It was a up hill struggle from day one all because she was so beautiful. Her own aunt kicked her out because her uncle made a move on her what a bitch!

She was nuts. She could barely carry herself in the real world. She seemed to have Histrionic Personality Disorder. It's sad to see an attractive and basically nice woman be so severely compromised.
Marilyn was an artist...and a highly intelligent one at that.
No other actress has inhabited the "live" aspect of kinetic film imagery like she did (the only other one that came close was silent film star Clara Bow).
Just watch her in "The Prince and the Show Girl." She's magnificent...life on film.
Although her last interview is edited, she still comes across as her own unique "self." We need to hear her last words unedited to understand the real story.
Wow, my heart breaks for her, Judy Garland, Shirley Temple, and the lot of actresses and actors who have been objectified by the film industry, Hollywood, the North American Entertainment Consumers, and people who don't truly know what acting, entertainment, or living out your dream really means. Marilyn Monroe was obvious an artist or peculiarity, poise, and purpose.
shes so gorgeous! who is she cuz i was not born back in those days,i always hear from her,someone please tell me who was she? i wish artist of today would be pretty as her+++++++++++++
So if theres 8 hours of audio here why is there just 20minutes? Could of just published the full interview. I doubt Marilyn would do 8 hours of an interview for it to be edited and shaped this way within 20 minutes. Should of just put it all here/ No we'll never know. I wonder what else she said fr the 7 hour/40minutes on the record.
I hate so much the way she was screwed. Being only paid $500 a week, Hell, when she started out they only paid her $75 a week. Those bastards screwed her over, time and time again. I just wish she could have lived long enough to see how loved and well received she would come to be.
@TheManda1085 She would not have been so welled received if she didn't die. She would have either ended up being considered a star who dwindled away and ruined her career over sleeping pills or she would have been a recovered drug addict whose star burned out. Either way. She's a legend because she died when she did.
I believe that she didn't commit suicide at all. I think that it was the Kennedy's that had to do with her death because she wqas involved with them on intimet levels and knew alot of the family that she shouldn't have.
That was sad...I guess she knows, now, that alot of people loved her, fell in love with her, and wanted to be like her....except for the self distruction......I hope.
She was mentally unstable. I thought that she was murdered too but I did more investigating and it turns out she did commit suicide. Kennedy was only covering up and paper trails she might have documented when they talked. He did not kill her.
After watching these I suddenly realized that poor Norma Jean was truly mentally ill. Possibly bi-polar or slightly shizophrenic--she sounds absolutely like someone who in this day and age would be in therapy and probably on medication. It is unfortunate that people interpreted her behavior in the lens of normal behavior because it is painfully obvious that her personality was splintered. She needed what we can offer now--genuine therapy and medication.
@cyberlioness I apologize for repeating myself but it's documented she did suffer from manic depression or bipolar as we know it today...There's a series on here I think it's called The Final Days of Marilyn Monroe...where directors, fellow actors...all knew of her mental illness. During the filming of Something's Got to Give her psychotherapist had to accompany her when she went. I never thought it was such a strange idea that she would take her own life...impulsivity is common during mania

@cyberlioness she definitely wasn't completely stable but i don't know if she was that bad. i think a lot of her eccentric comments were just honest and spontaneous. she spoke like she didnt give a shit.
@nubtuberable Although she wasn't schizophrenic like her mother, it's been documented numerous times of her struggle with what is now called bipolar rather than the term used back then manic depression which I think is a better word for this mood disorder. At this point I'm starting to think 90% of Hollywood has it..I'm sure her start in life wasn't helpful either...
When i die i would love to see her, I've got so many questions i would love to ask. i love her so much, she amazing words can't express how great she is. She's the most famous and influential person in the world. x
@PeaceNdLovee That's why I like this particular interview...although it keeps freezing up on me...although she was drinking throughout the day she appears more real here...she's made some great quotes...
I don't understand how someone could kill a woman so sweet. she was so beautiful inside and out. It's like killing bamby. I get teary eyed thinking of her last hours.
@TheMarkieJay It is sad...in the beginning of this interview when they describe her house and how empty it was...well look where her body was found...just a bed and nightstand...Somthing always struck me funny about the housekeeper....there's a very short maybe20 second clip of the housekeeper visiting MM mother in the mental facility she lived....although short...the clip was just creepy to me...
I cant listen to this without getting tears in my eyes, you hear the pain and struggle in her voice at times I am 17 years old and the person I admire most is Marilyn Monroe she never gave up no matter what life threw at her I would have loved to have known her <3 RIP Marilyn Monroe <3
As far as I know, with "Something's Got to Give," she really was sick. It's nice to hear her real voice as opposed to the breathy voice she used in her films. She comes across as vulnerable, full of laughter, sad, angry, complicated, sweet, betrayed, innocent, and worldly, all at the same time. How I wish I could have known her personally.
The interviewer is Richard Meryman and what an honor it must have been to be there in the first place to see her and take this unknowing that she would die a short time later..so sad.
I don't care what anybody says I love Marilyn! Sure, she wasn't perfect and was obviously a mentally sick person, but who's perfect? Two cheers for Marilyn.
Listening to her makes me so sad. When most people hear "Marilyn Monroe" they think of that "dumb blonde actress from the 50's" or something along those lines, but it couldn't be further from the truth. She was so much more complex and intelligent, and when I listen to her I can just hear her pain in her voice. All she wanted her whole life was to be truly loved and cared by someone. Anyone. It's just extremely tragic. =/
She asked one thing of him. To not make her a joke, yet he still disrespected her. What a jerk! I just recently finished her Bio my story. A great read for her fans.
a really good one is The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe by J. Randy Taraborrelli..im readin it at the moment and its really good...it really does make you understand her background and everything...
@joyster448 i agree. that, and the book 'fragments' gives quite a lot of insight into her life and how she might've been feeling. j randy taraborrelli's book is quite amazing though. i read it in 2 days and couldn't put it down. and he makes such a great emphasis on how beautiful she was. it gave me the shivers.
@joyster448 what fragments? well you could try play dot com. i'm sure they have it. i found it at one of the top bookshops where i live but they only had one copy. i was lucky to get it. but it is a great book to have.
@xxTheRedDiAMonDxx If she would read your comment, she would be proud of you! She's the nr. 1 inspiration for so many women who are envied for their beauty and brains. I wish she knew how important she has become for generations of women wanting to succeed in showbiz. :-)
She is an idol. She shouldn't be judged for how little clothes she wore as it was obviously a tactic for attention, it worked didn't it? Many celebrities use the shock tactic for fame nowday's. She was classy and the affair, do you know much about it? No, because you'r not Marilyn. Maybe she fell in love? As I believe that's how she died. She was a wise woman as you can tell by some of the things she says but also naive for letting people manipulate her. She was beautiful inside and out.
Woman like MM & Judy Garland were treated like commodities, MM for her body and beauty and Judy Garland for her amazing voice and the way she had with a song. The Men in Hollywood were sharks & they smelled blood in the water & devoured Women who were vulnerable in Hollywood who were the most famous & bread winners in their relationships. People think that is an invitiation to help themselves to these women. That's the reason they are no longer with us & died so young. PPL can only take so much.
@NFitalianGuy i know, i did research on her history, growing up and relationships and i can't get over how almost all of the men in her life treated her. she never got a break. it wasn't just the hollywood men, the men in her childhood, the sexual abuse she took. then after she died, dougherty, her first husband, published a book telling a BS version of events. according to him, she thought the sun shone out of his arse. as if. her life is just proof beautiful women are abused too often.
I want the full tape, unedited, in original order, rather than this man's "arrangement" out of context, in attempts to correspond her words to his opinion. He deliberately makes her out to be crazy. Marilyn Monroe was not crazy. This guy turned out to be an ass-hole. She wouldn't have granted this interview, had she known he would just be condescending.
@morgthuugg225 Then you can't call Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, & Ava Gardner "classy" either. They all had affairs with married men. When you're young, beautiful, & famous in Hollywood, there's a lot of temptation. Yes, they made mistakes. They were fallible human beings. Stop being so sanctimonious.
It was obvious she was evolving as a person.Really too bad she couldn't have held out for the late 60's when she could have broken free of that sexist stereotype.Can you imagine her as Martha in Who's afraid of Virginia Wolfe?Oh, the possibilities.
In 1962 saying "crank yourself up", would be like saying "rev your engines or jack yourself up" today, kinda harsh. I only drink during stressful times. I think it's great that Marilyn drank champagne when she did drink. Why suffer? Also c'mon, she was a child during the depression, to parents that split up just after her birth, sending her mother into a tailspin. The Industry WAS an Asshole. No one would put up with such crap today. There'd be punched faces all over the place. $500/week? Smack!
This is reference example of commercialism, vulgar plagiarism of a human, esp. actors as seen starting 20th century. Listen to her at 3:00 onwards..... she was an artist. If her persona attracted and her personality was a draw, men in higher places, in her life abused it. And she was alone, no family, no siblings, no guiding hand. But, she is to blame as well, escapism in form of prescription drugs and alcoholism..... Sad, sad.
Sleeping pills? It seems like she had some sort of issues if she had to take them to fall asleep. Usually when you can't sleep it's because something is on your mind that troubles you and that you can't stop thinking about.
Illuminati? Never the less she was a beautiful human being, she had an amazing soul :)

The Problem was NO ONE SHOWED MARILYN OR Norma Jeane Mortenson that she was worth anything till she died! It was a up hill struggle from day one all because she was so beautiful. Her own aunt kicked her out because her uncle made a move on her what a bitch!

She was nuts. She could barely carry herself in the real world. She seemed to have Histrionic Personality Disorder. It's sad to see an attractive and basically nice woman be so severely compromised.

Marilyn was an artist...and a highly intelligent one at that.
No other actress has inhabited the "live" aspect of kinetic film imagery like she did (the only other one that came close was silent film star Clara Bow).
Just watch her in "The Prince and the Show Girl." She's magnificent...life on film.
Although her last interview is edited, she still comes across as her own unique "self." We need to hear her last words unedited to understand the real story.

Wow, my heart breaks for her, Judy Garland, Shirley Temple, and the lot of actresses and actors who have been objectified by the film industry, Hollywood, the North American Entertainment Consumers, and people who don't truly know what acting, entertainment, or living out your dream really means. Marilyn Monroe was obvious an artist or peculiarity, poise, and purpose.

So if theres 8 hours of audio here why is there just 20minutes? Could of just published the full interview. I doubt Marilyn would do 8 hours of an interview for it to be edited and shaped this way within 20 minutes. Should of just put it all here/ No we'll never know. I wonder what else she said fr the 7 hour/40minutes on the record.

I hate so much the way she was screwed. Being only paid $500 a week, Hell, when she started out they only paid her $75 a week. Those bastards screwed her over, time and time again. I just wish she could have lived long enough to see how loved and well received she would come to be.
TheManda1085 7 months ago 42
@TheManda1085 She would not have been so welled received if she didn't die. She would have either ended up being considered a star who dwindled away and ruined her career over sleeping pills or she would have been a recovered drug addict whose star burned out. Either way. She's a legend because she died when she did.

I believe that she didn't commit suicide at all. I think that it was the Kennedy's that had to do with her death because she wqas involved with them on intimet levels and knew alot of the family that she shouldn't have.

She was mentally unstable. I thought that she was murdered too but I did more investigating and it turns out she did commit suicide. Kennedy was only covering up and paper trails she might have documented when they talked. He did not kill her.

After watching these I suddenly realized that poor Norma Jean was truly mentally ill. Possibly bi-polar or slightly shizophrenic--she sounds absolutely like someone who in this day and age would be in therapy and probably on medication. It is unfortunate that people interpreted her behavior in the lens of normal behavior because it is painfully obvious that her personality was splintered. She needed what we can offer now--genuine therapy and medication.
cyberlioness 10 months ago
@cyberlioness I apologize for repeating myself but it's documented she did suffer from manic depression or bipolar as we know it today...There's a series on here I think it's called The Final Days of Marilyn Monroe...where directors, fellow actors...all knew of her mental illness. During the filming of Something's Got to Give her psychotherapist had to accompany her when she went. I never thought it was such a strange idea that she would take her own life...impulsivity is common during mania

nubtuberable 10 months ago
@nubtuberable Although she wasn't schizophrenic like her mother, it's been documented numerous times of her struggle with what is now called bipolar rather than the term used back then manic depression which I think is a better word for this mood disorder. At this point I'm starting to think 90% of Hollywood has it..I'm sure her start in life wasn't helpful either...

As far as I know, with "Something's Got to Give," she really was sick. It's nice to hear her real voice as opposed to the breathy voice she used in her films. She comes across as vulnerable, full of laughter, sad, angry, complicated, sweet, betrayed, innocent, and worldly, all at the same time. How I wish I could have known her personally.

Listening to her makes me so sad. When most people hear "Marilyn Monroe" they think of that "dumb blonde actress from the 50's" or something along those lines, but it couldn't be further from the truth. She was so much more complex and intelligent, and when I listen to her I can just hear her pain in her voice. All she wanted her whole life was to be truly loved and cared by someone. Anyone. It's just extremely tragic. =/

@joyster448 i agree. that, and the book 'fragments' gives quite a lot of insight into her life and how she might've been feeling. j randy taraborrelli's book is quite amazing though. i read it in 2 days and couldn't put it down. and he makes such a great emphasis on how beautiful she was. it gave me the shivers.

She is an idol. She shouldn't be judged for how little clothes she wore as it was obviously a tactic for attention, it worked didn't it? Many celebrities use the shock tactic for fame nowday's. She was classy and the affair, do you know much about it? No, because you'r not Marilyn. Maybe she fell in love? As I believe that's how she died. She was a wise woman as you can tell by some of the things she says but also naive for letting people manipulate her. She was beautiful inside and out.

Woman like MM & Judy Garland were treated like commodities, MM for her body and beauty and Judy Garland for her amazing voice and the way she had with a song. The Men in Hollywood were sharks & they smelled blood in the water & devoured Women who were vulnerable in Hollywood who were the most famous & bread winners in their relationships. People think that is an invitiation to help themselves to these women. That's the reason they are no longer with us & died so young. PPL can only take so much.
NFitalianGuy 1 year ago
@NFitalianGuy i know, i did research on her history, growing up and relationships and i can't get over how almost all of the men in her life treated her. she never got a break. it wasn't just the hollywood men, the men in her childhood, the sexual abuse she took. then after she died, dougherty, her first husband, published a book telling a BS version of events. according to him, she thought the sun shone out of his arse. as if. her life is just proof beautiful women are abused too often.
shcnoozlebop 1 year ago
I want the full tape, unedited, in original order, rather than this man's "arrangement" out of context, in attempts to correspond her words to his opinion. He deliberately makes her out to be crazy. Marilyn Monroe was not crazy. This guy turned out to be an ass-hole. She wouldn't have granted this interview, had she known he would just be condescending.

morgthuugg225 1 year ago
@morgthuugg225 Then you can't call Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, & Ava Gardner "classy" either. They all had affairs with married men. When you're young, beautiful, & famous in Hollywood, there's a lot of temptation. Yes, they made mistakes. They were fallible human beings. Stop being so sanctimonious.

It was obvious she was evolving as a person.Really too bad she couldn't have held out for the late 60's when she could have broken free of that sexist stereotype.Can you imagine her as Martha in Who's afraid of Virginia Wolfe?Oh, the possibilities.
tet43 1 year ago 2
In 1962 saying "crank yourself up", would be like saying "rev your engines or jack yourself up" today, kinda harsh. I only drink during stressful times. I think it's great that Marilyn drank champagne when she did drink. Why suffer? Also c'mon, she was a child during the depression, to parents that split up just after her birth, sending her mother into a tailspin. The Industry WAS an Asshole. No one would put up with such crap today. There'd be punched faces all over the place. $500/week? Smack!

This is reference example of commercialism, vulgar plagiarism of a human, esp. actors as seen starting 20th century. Listen to her at 3:00 onwards..... she was an artist. If her persona attracted and her personality was a draw, men in higher places, in her life abused it. And she was alone, no family, no siblings, no guiding hand. But, she is to blame as well, escapism in form of prescription drugs and alcoholism..... Sad, sad.
The thing is she still comes across as classy.
