Even though watching her here makes me feel the urge to wrap her up and hold her and never let the world touch her, the small bit with the dog makes me smile and then I think about what a sweet heart she is, and I almost forget about all the hard times she went through =)
This role of Roslyn WAS Marilyn- he took actual conversations and situations and made a script of it. The absloute pain- the bitter irony- of the words that Roslyn speaks IS Marilyn.
In this movie Marilyn Monroe revelead all his talent as an dramatic actress ,reciting almost in an another dimension.She seems detached, as if to escape from a reality too unjust.The face is absent, almost lunar,really sad and melancholic.
i saw a comment on the misfits. and youd put that marilyn monroe had been made to sleep with clark gable and youd said it was pretty taboo at the time' i dont no where you got the information from but it is incorrect. i dont no where the heck you got that info from!!
The Misfits is an important film, written by Arthur Miller. He was a brilliant writer: The Death of A Salesman, The Cucible, and much more. He wrote Misfits especially for his then wife Monroe. She, along with the rest of the cast, were excellent in this film. The film still speaks volumes about human nature.
A great scene from my favorite film. Thanks so much for putting this up. Marilyn was at a very fragile point in life during the making of this and it shows in her acting. Very poignant reminder of just how lost she was in her real life.
I've always felt that Marilyn was overrated as a sex symbol and criminally underrated as an actress. I agree that she looks so emotionally fragile to the point that it's unbearable. The best actors and actresses were the ones who were so willing to share their own frailties and vulnerability on-screen. Marilyn is worthy of every rave review she gets, and this teenage film buff is giving her one.
RubyTuesday . . . I could not have stated it any better than you did. Marilyn's beauty overshadowed her acting; however Marilyn's actign certainly came through in this movie.
was she tall?? because sometimes she looked tinny but sometimes she use to look tall!

She is so sensitive and luminous. The instinct of most is to wrap her up in your arms and kiss her, rocking her to sleep.

miller killed her with roslyn - a collage of tabloid smears she had to bring to life with some truth and dignity.
if she had droppped out of this movie, she would have lived. the only question is how much money the studio paid him to use and betray marilyn.

It's obvious that when Marilyn is speaking about her parents never being there for her, that her pain is real.

The film only gave us a glimpse of what she was really like.. So unlike what the studios wanted her to be. She was a real actress.

Marylin was damn sexy in that movie. They had her sleep with Clark Gable even thoough it was still pretty taboo at the time.
