While doing some research on
Ms.Marilyn Monroe I came upon some truly great quotes of hers,
which goes to show, that beyond the beauty and the stereotype....
She knew exactly what was going on, who she was, and what it was....
"With fame, you know, you can read about yourself, somebody else's ideas about you, but what's important is how you feel about yourself--for survival and living day to day with what comes up."
"It stirs up envy, fame does. People...feel fame gives them some kind of privilege to walk up to you and say anything to you--and it won't hurt your feelings--like it's happening to your clothing."
"Everybody is always tugging at you. They'd all like a sort of chunk out of you. I don' think they realize it, but it's like 'grrr do this, grr do that...' But you do want to stay intact--intact and on two feet."
"I don't want to play sex roles any more. I'm tired of being known as the girl with the shape."
Contrary to today....where every model or actress is urged to be waif like...
Marilyn was considered the most beautiful woman in the world....at a size 8...not a size 2.
She had curves and she was healthy, human, feminine & beautiful.
"In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You're judged by how you look, not by what you are."
"I used to think as I looked out on the Hollywood night, 'There must be thousands of girls sitting alone like me, dreaming of becoming a movie star. But I'm not going to worry about them. I'm dreaming the hardest."
"A Career is born in public....Talent in Privacy."
"I believe everything happens for a reason! People change so you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so that you will eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes, good things fall apart, so better things can fall together."
