[Kievest]

Truly enjoyed and admired this five star video, John!!!!! The photos and the music re-

veal the inner Norma Jean, someone we can all relate to on a personal basis! Like

the song says, "she wants to live a good life"....don't we all! Fantastic pics I have not

seen before...my favorites show the "girl next door" at 1:10, 1:l8, and 2:08. The

one at 3:18 is a reflection of her vulnerability after the fame. She wanted to be

taken seriously and your video does exactly that! Great work! TY!

[MrKingsRow]

@Kievest...thank you so much Candy! It's so true, how the inner Norma Jeane, and the outer Marilyn Monroe contrasted each other...thank you for what you said...about taking Marilyn seriously...I appreciate that...glad you enjoyed it...thanks again for watching! :))

[IngridHexerl]

A beautiful ♥ tribute! A very nice song. ♫ Thank you!

The art figure Marilyn Monroe and "MM" was already in the 50s of the 20th Century to a legend.

The difference between Marilyn Monroe said Norma Jeane better with brunette hair and striking natural beauty in early youth and the perfect blonde sex symbol was clear from 1952 on.

Rehearsed their image including the make-up, facial expression, voice and gait is characteristic to this day for them.

[MrKingsRow]

@IngridHexerl...very true...thank you so much Ingrid for you wonderful comment...glad you enjoyed it!

The words to this song are so touching and sweet. I wonder if this was written by Sammi Smith. Beautiful song and tribute video to Marilyn. In some of the pictures she looks so sad and lonely. I loved the musical movies she was in . 5*****
