MARILYN

"Soon we could drive to isolated beaches and swim together. Strangely, she had never properly learned to swim, it was the only awkward thing she ever did and her clumsy attempts ended in laughter. Emerging from the water, her powerful body threw back the sun like Botticelli's Venus, and sometimes she even had the same saltwater-washed sea-emergent stare.
"LIFE" sent a helicopter to take her to be photographed...She was back in a few hours...She was wearing a full-skirted yellow cotton dress and high-heeled shoes and still carried a couple of roses someone had thrust into her hand. Her makeup seemed too artificially white in the sunlight, and when the copter was gone we looked at one another awkwardly, what a mixture of feelings! There couldn't have been another woman in the country they would have flown to New York and back like this for a couple of photographs: there was some madness to the desperation of their need for her. What frightening power she had!" (Arthur Miller, "Timebends")

"She is a beautiful child. I don't mean that in the obvious way - the perhaps too obvious way. I don't think she's an actress at all, not in any traditional sense. What she has - this presence, this luminosity, this flickering intelligence - could never surface on the stage. It's so fragile and subtle, it can only be caught by the camera. It's like hummingbird in flight: only a camera can freeze the poetry of it." (Constance Collier to Truman Capote)

The visuals are wonderful, though....

Спасибо огромное! Твое видео лучше! Жаль, я не могу увидеть видео о Гарднер, оно блокировано в Италии :(( Отличных выходных!

@vereiana Вам спасибо! Рада, что понравилось! Не знала, что некоторые мои видео заблокированы в других странах...Чудесных выходных!

Wonderful collage of photos. Some are very rare and I hadn't seen them. Marilyn Monroe had an ethereal beauty like very few on earth.

For a girl which never even graduated high school, Marilyn did really well for the cards she was dealt. So sad she did not get the opportunity to live out to her true potential. She is very missed by many fans.

She was not jus sexy but so glamorous. Love her style..clothes, make-up hair..was great. I also think Liz Taylor was amazing in her young days.
