Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jeane Mortenson). Everyone has heard about her, most people know her story. She was an American actress, singer, model, she did it all. She became a popular sex symbol in the ’50s and ’60s, inspiring many women to chase their dreams and be themselves. Sadly, she passed away at the very young age of 36.
However, she still managed to achieve more things than most people do in a full lifetime. Marilyn was photographed by many photographers, including one photoshoot by Sam Shaw which is considered one of the most famous of her shoots
She has very nice, straight, white teeth.
“Y’know, somebody should write a song about her.”
Maybe some gay guy...
They do? News to me.
Ironically, I’ve never been able to see what people saw in her.
“Yeah, uglier back then fer sure..”
Those are outliers. Look at old photos. Women who were in their early 30’s looked like grandmas.
“....She was a troubled person....”
I’ve never met a single person in my life that WASN’T “troubled” by something or other.
We all take damage in our flight through life. It’s how we DEAL with that damage that makes the difference.
Evidently, and sadly, she didn’t deal with it well.
Won’t argue that. Most women in their early 30’s in the 1950’s were a housewife mother of several children. Busy moms. Didn’t do much daily makeup. Weren’t into running, slimness or tanning booths.
On August 5, 1962, Marilyn died in her Los Angeles home just months after
her 36th birthday. Empty bottles of prescription medications were found
in the room, with her death ruled a “probable suicide.”

Throw in Sophia Loren—just wow!!! Or Rita Hayworth with Rachel and you really get my attention.
I like Marylin’s curves but there seems to be nothing after you get pass the obvious. If she had had enough sense to find a man that wanted to go further with her than her bed that would have done her a world of good.
Hedy Lamarr was not only beautiful, she was brilliant.

————————————————————————————————-
My wife quit her $75,000 a year job in 1998 to raise our son. We ended up with two biological sons, one biological daughter, one adopted son and one son we fostered. The adopted sons biological mother used hard drugs when she was pregnant causing my adopted son to be born with several mental issues.
My fostered son came from a drug addicted family and through my wife’s influence has grown up to become a career Soldier with a fabulous wife and two fine young boys of his own, breaking his families long line of worthless trash.
My two oldest boys are Marines, one of whom is on his way to becoming a Scout Sniper. Neither have even so much as had a speeding ticket.
My daughter is still at home about to finish her “high school” education. She has never so much as back talked us.
All my children were homeschooled by my wife.
The author of this little piece has no idea what real achievement is.
Marylin Monroe as well as most other Hollywood trash don’t hold a candle to my wife’s achievements.
And to boot my wife at 48 is smoking hot with zero surgical enhancements.
Unlike Hedly.
Sophia, Ingrid, Heddy, Elizabeth, Grace, Jayne, Gina, Ava, Lauren...
Me either.
This is 2020 so it doesn’t matter now.
Like all his songs, the words were written by the straight guy. Elton gets too much credit.
"Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid."
Marilyn Monroe, the ultimate American sex symbol.
Very talented actress and comedienne, as well as a screen siren.
