@cosi66 Reverse that. Britney's outfit was ~similar~ (key word: similar) to Marilyn's costume here. Marilyn lived 1926-1962, Britney is 1981-present. Never forget that.
the barbiturates didn't kill Marilyn, was die by the lack of affection, lack of support.and 20 century fox and saying you're not an actress and not at all worth
at 3:04....that guy sitting opposite of her got a nice view.. XD
she was really something.todays blondes are so vulgar and tacky..like a twisted nightmarish version of marilyn!marilyn was so sensual and childlike/innocent at the same time..like she was not aware of how stunning she was..THATS sexy!Its not sexy if you try too hard.It was effortless with marilyn,thats why shes so special..
Marilyn could act, she could sing, she was the muse of many contemporary artists, she was the wife of Arthur Miller, the mistress of the President of the USA, anever lasting icon.
"Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about." Marilyn Monroe
@ClassyVintageBroad Sorry but your totally wrong, If you've listened to marilyn singing during her movies you would know this is definately marilyn singing, it's not that hard to tell.
@ClassyVintageBroad Hey, better check your facts: Dolores Gray sang Marilyn Monroe's parts on the Decca Records SOUNDTRACK RELEASE of Rhythmus im Blut (1954). Monroe's recorded voice was under contract with RCA Victor who would not issue a release, so Gray's voice was used. In the movie, however, it's Marilyn's voice.
To think that by todays standards she was fat... Marilyn Monroe has the body that any women would envy, any designer on his/her right mind would want, and that any person on earth would admire. Viva for the healthy bodies!
did you look up the "CELEBRITY CHAT with James Haspiel" ..you know who he is right? What I mean to say is it's someone else's lie, not yours. Alot of people are quick to believe the nastiest rumours about her, you know? It is really sad.
I think Marilyn was a great actress and a marvelous singer, the airy quality of her voice can't be compared to anyone really. She wasn't really supposed to do much dancing, just step step SEXY POSE! While she lulled people with her voice. Personally Gentleman Prefer Blondes is my favorite movie, and Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend is my favorite song XD.
@zxzanniezxz Who doesn't want legs like hers? Or her shape? Haha I wish she had written a book on food and exercise like every other star it seems is doing today. Then maybe, we could have her legs!
@LenaLeonard242 That's genetics! You can grow legs she was born with her beauty. Monroe had natural breast and beautiful booty. However she did have the tip of her nose done by a brillent plastic surgen. If you look at really early pictures you can tell the differance. But over all she was a natural beauty.
@StaunchComic no I'm sorry but that is a lie, the only surgery she had done was a piece of cartilage removed from her chin. I can't remember which book on her I read this in, but it was by someone that knew her and there was a pic of the scar. Her nose looks different cause she would shade it darker to make it look smaller, Sam Shaw's book show pics of her pinching her nose and describes her insecurity over having a "bulbous nose"...plus there was no plastic surgery in the early 50's!!
@HydesBadAssChickFan I read that about her nose and something to do with her chin also. It could be a rumor? I was not there so maybe your correct. But "A Lie?" maybe misinformed is a better discription of my statement. Either way MM was stunning!
@HydesBadAssChickFan She had a very minor procedure on her nose, and cartilage added to to her chin to improve her profile. But the cartilage disolved by 1957. She never replaced it. She "work" refined her beauty, it did not create it.
@waif55 I agree with the chin thing, since I already stated that in one of my comments but I find it very amusing that u state as fact she had a nose job, when so many biographers have disputed the issue. I don't believe it and never will, I have tons of MM books with pics of her when she was young and her nose is no different than when she was 16!! I think such things are lies made up by jelous persons, who dont understand that her true beauty came from within.
@HydesBadAssChickFan Well, I'm not a liar and I'm not jealous. I love MM. But the procedure she had can hardly qualify as a "nose job"--it was just a bit of refining at the tip. She didn't have her teeth "fixed" or anything done to her hairline. But that tiny work on her nose, yes. The same doctor did the same delicate work on Elizabeth Taylor and Natalie Wood (and Lord knows who else!) It takes nothing from her natural prettyness to admit that. The real transformation was...bleach!
@waif55 I didn't say YOU were...and no matter what anyone says I believe Haspiel before anyone else and he says she never had anything done to her nose. You and me are both fans that love her, we just have different opinions, and thats ok.
@waif55 Everyone in Hollywood had a look developed, so what? And many had surgery too. Liz Taylor and Natalie Wood to name 2 more of that era. Hollywood was selling illusions of perfection. Today...not so much. Syick figures with tons of plastic surgery...yuck!
I'm not sure Marilyn was quite a brilliant actress, she just happened to take roles she was well suited for. Fact is that she didn't have much a range in her singing and she didn't have the stamina to be a dancer, but she had sex appeal down cold. And frankly, I imagine the ditsy blonde roles came naturally to her; she was a genuine twit. Still she was a great entertainer and she was smart enough to stay within her limits as an actress.
@Gonzogrig I disagree with you. Marilyn the person was no twit. The studios used her sex appeal to make money, but Marilyn was a talented actress. Bus Stop and the Misfits prove that, plus dramatic greats Sir Lawrence Olivier, Robert Mitchum, Lee Strausberg, and others have said that Marilyn was a dramatic great. Strausberg even stated, "I have worked with hundreds of actors, but only 2 stand as a cut above the rest, Marlon Brando and Marilyn Monroe". Do you know much about her?
@ThePharaoho Feel free to disagree but fact is that she bounced around in foster care through her childhood and then got married at about 16. She definitely wasn't an educated woman and although it's hard to separate fact from fiction the general word was that she was on the dim side. And may I point out that Stausberg thought it it was her "childlike naivete" that made her so great. She wasn't a great actress, she was a great entertainer. And yes there is a difference.
@Gonzogrig She was a great entertainer that had the ability to become a great actress. What do you think make the best actors? Life experience. This is why she had a childlike quality, because she had to adopt it to survive, Trust me, she was no dim wit. She may have not have had a formal education, but she had a lot of informal knowledge and witt. Street smarts, Playing dumb was a tactic for her. Her childhood trauma was great inspiration for drama "Bus Stop". It also worked for James Dean.
@Gonzogrig you my dear...are talking a load of BOLLOX!!!!And as for her being 'dim or 'smart'...you'll never really know,because she is dead and cannot 'defend' herself!!I also do not thing Mr Miller OR Mr Di Maggio would have some broad that had nothing between her ears except inane babblings...it's tolerable for a short while,but wears pretty thin very quickly!!You do NOT become a 'SUPERSTAR' by 'accident' OR the 'casting couch' and the heads of the studios do NOT hang millions of $ on a gimic
This song has been stuck in my head all day. Honestly, I don't think she's an amazing singer, and I don't think she's the greatest female actor- I don't like her dancing either. But this song is so catchy! She is of course, VERY pretty, and has sex appeal. I have to say that Mitzi Gaynor was my favorite female in this performance. What a dancer! :)
Look at her figure. She was proper curvy, such a beautiful woman, she could knock those bimbo bitches like Megan Fox and Lindsay Lohan into next century with her beauty.
Just that her gift for comedy undid her in some ways, and undercut her. She played that dumb blonde so well, in so many films that after awhile, people thought that was who she really was. She
was very talented, in a few directions: but the studios typed her.
Ahh! I totally agree! While Marilyn had sex appeal (you'd have to be a retard not to notice) the studio used that as the main basis of her career. Holly wood, back then did'nt know what to do with her because women who were gorgeous, intelligent, and extremely talented all rolled into one was'nt suppose to exist. Either you were the sex symbol comic or the serious dull masculine like actress. Had Marilyn been living today, I believe her full potential as a great dramatic actress would be noted.
@ThePharaoho Actually...MM DID have the chance to prove her dramatic range...when she walked out on Fox (therefor breaking her contract) and went to live in New York for a year and while there setting up her own production company with Milton (Green)!!Her 'comeback' film was 'Bus Stop',which proved beyond all doubt that she could most certainly act...and brilliantly as well!!Love Maz,X...
@TheMrMarilyn Ahh yes, I know. That was a really great film! One of the best performances I think in cinematic history. She was absolutely robbed of her academy award nomination. It was her image as a sex symbol, I believe, was why the academy did'nt take her seriously. She proved herself again with the "Misfits" with Gable and Clift, got excellent reviews, but still no Oscar nomination. WTF? If Grace Kelly could actually win one for the "country girl". I know Marilyn deserved a nomination!!!
@TheMrMarilyn I actually think Marilyn was one of the greatest talents of her era. Spectacularly beautiful, a natural and excellent comedienne with the best comedic timing. She was an intelligent brilliant dramatic actress, when given a chance to show it with a senual hypnotic voice, speaking and singing. People put Liz Taylor over her, but I actually thought Marilyn was much better. The range of emotions in her face combined with her natural vulnerability made her ideal. Liz was boring to me.
@TheMrMarilyn The only film I thought Liz was grreat in was "Who's Afraid of Vrigina Wolf" Her other films were lackluster to me with her condescending striking appearance. That was great! But I always waited for the emotion and never really got it. I mean, just because she yelled with her shrill irritating voice does'nt mean she was great. I never believed her nor did I ever see any range of emotions in her face as I did with Marilyn. I always thought Marilyn would make a great Hitchcock girl!
@ThePharaoho Who said anythin about Liz??But as e're on that subject...Liz WAS great in 'A Place In The Sun' and i loved her in 'Cat On A Hot Tin Roof' and also 'Butterfield 8' and was rather fab in 'Suddenly Last Summer' and i personally liked her in 'Cleopatra' as well,and also 'Boom'!!But,my idea of perfection is my Marilyn...on film and off...a real life work of utter perfection...my idea/ideal perfect woman...then/now and for ever more!!Marilyn just IS 'it'!!!!
@TheMrMarilyn Your'e right!! I mentioned Liz because people always compared her to Marilyn because they were suppose to have been the two most beautiful actresses of their era. Marilyn always suffered unfavorable in comparison, as the studios gave Liz acclaim,more money, even though Marilyn was the top box office money maker, and anything she wanted while Marilyn had to fight to attain everything she got . Anyways, Marilyn was a great talent. There's no denying that!
I liked the movie very much, but, even as a kid, I felt Marilyn was too mature for Donald O'Connor, who was a boyish 29 or 30. Marilyn wa soooooooo hot!!!

No: the song refers to a fickle guy who runs someone down, and then dumps her, because reality doesn't square with

I liked the movie very much, but, even as a kid, I felt Marilyn was too mature for Donald O'Connor, who was a boyish 29 or 30. Marilyn wa soooooooo hot!!!
