I always loved Marilyn and was brokenhearted when she died so young, with her whole career in front of her. I think that she was a great actress who should have been allowed to prove it, but most people couldn’t get past her obvious assets.

Unfortunately, one of the reasons she didn't get more work was because she was difficult to work with. Not "I'm a diva" difficult for the most part but her personal problems (and some physical illnesses, like a virus that smacked her around on her final film, Something's Got To Give) were greatly affecting her ability to work and she often showed up hours late to shoots even when she was healthy.
