It's too bad she never got the chance to do serious acting, she was stuck in one role, the :"sexy" chick, and that was it..she could have done more...

[sublime1marilyn]

@nicodagger  You should check out "Bus Stop" and "The MIsfits" as well as "Niagara"

[nicodagger]

And Lee Strasburg said she was on a par with Brando...she had a nose job and chin implant....why not?

[sublime1marilyn]

@nicodagger She had slight alteration to her nose and chin, supposedly, however there's never been any actual proof.

I really believe that if Marilyn had just 10 more years, then everyone's perception of her would have did a 180. She just need a little more time to prove everybody wrong.

@sublime1marilyn There is (although she was beautiful before and after). Just check out her nose in her early modeling pics with the ones taken later in her career.

@nicodagger LOL! her first starring role was a serious one...why do people forget that?

[MissRandomIsRandom]

She's just plain AMAZING! I love her to pieces!

you are HIRED!!

She was an astounding actor who made being 'just sexy' look easy. She had perfect comedic timing, her dancing was so polished as to make everyone else look like clodhoppers & her ability to tap into raw emotion is unmatched to this day. Her greatness lies neither in her sex appeal nor in being a victim: She was great because she was extraordinarily talented & skillful. Neither Davis nor Hepburn were better than MM, they just didn't have her sexy image to cloud people's judgement of them.

@Laosoftware just because someone doesn't win an Oscar doesn't mean they can't act or have talent

[LaoSoftware]

Marilyn can't act. She never won an Oscar award like Bette Davis or Elizabeth Taylor. Basically she's got no talent. But she's really good-looking. That's why so many people admire her. Not her acting skills, but her sexy appearance.

[Budaphly]

@angerock49 Agreed. Marlon Brando and Montgomery Clift were two of the few who started implementing a realistic method to acting. Marilyn wasn't acting any different from the other actresses of her time. She got a lot more method later in her career

[sfmarklh]

i LOVED her in All About Eve, Niagara, Bus Stop, Seven Year Itch. She wasn't a great actress in the way Hepburn was but Marilyn had that energy, appeal, and screen presence that few actors have. When she was on screen, you cannot take your eyes off her. Captivating and unforgettable.
