Marilyn Monroe~ Lost in Despair (part I)

The song is "Swimming in a Lovely Sea of You", by Michael Whalen. I think this song is perfect for Marilyn, especially for the theme of this video. I think of her everytime I hear this song. It's tragic and beautiful, just like Marilyn.

This is part 1 of a 2 part series. I had many pictures and simply couldn't include them all in one video.

Marilyn had a life-long battle with depression and self-doubt, but it became serious and overwhelming during the last years of her life. However she felt, she was never afraid of showing it, even when there were photographers around. This honesty is a characteristic that I greatly admire about Marilyn.

The pictures that I have chosen are ones in which she appears greatly sad and lonely to me. Even in the ones where she is smiling and laughing, she looks so sad and desperate for help to me.

I hope Marilyn Monroe fans will appreciate and like this video.

I have loved her since I was a little girl, it was her pain that looked at me out of a poster and I wanted to help her. I hope she has found the peace she desperately sought.

This is so beautiful! Wonderful selection of pictures and the music you chose is haunting and lovely. Even when Marilyn seemed sad, there was a warmth and sweetness in her eyes that was at once charming and heartbreaking. I love her so much!

Thank you for sharing this. 5*****

There will never be anyone like her again. A true original and a remarkable talent. A genius on screen. Marilyn will always be remembered because of her exceptional persona that brought joy to millions and continues to do so decades after her death. We love you Marilyn.

she was in her own world. she was still herself to the world, but it was sort of a show

and then you go home, u shut the windows and you shut yourself along with them.

u just hear the silence that music can't break. that music u cant shut off

and then u go dorment, you shut down even if you are awake... i feel like that sometimes and after this video i wonder if she also felt like this?

[ladyakasha25]

when i look at her i see the same sadness i feel in my heart

Marilyn wasn't crazy or depressed at the end , but exhausted. Years of medicating herself to sleep and then meds to wake herself up so that she could be" Vital" wore the woman down and ravaged her body. She gave her all ,thats why we still love her.

Marilyn lived a very glamorous life, but she was also a sad figure. I've read many things about her being very unhappy, and that's so unfortunate, because she brought a lot of happiness to the lives of others. Much like Princess Diana! They remind me of each other. Beautiful video.

Yes I agree with your comment, but would like to add she was very much alone! I mean who did she have? no-one to really love and care for her. It would seem all her hopes and dreams had been destroyed. I just wish I could of befriended her.
