I wonder why we are still fascinated with her after so many years?
Well, one reason is because we can’t figure out whether she was a profound intelligent woman who acted the bimbo for money, or a bimbo who could act intelligent for money. Or whether the people who thought she was intelligent were bimbos, or if the people who thought she was a bimbo were bimbos.
I used to work with a woman who was a nursing student where Marilyn was hospitalized for her miscarriage and she told me that Marilyn was gorgeous without any makeup and was very nice and kind to all the nurses and students. I think it was Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC.
“I wonder why we are still fascinated with her after so many years?”
Because it follows a plot:
Famous and popular, handsome or pretty, young, rebellious or reckless, die by way of strange circumstances.
Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, JF Kennedy, Elvis, John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Anna Nicole Smith, Michael Jackson for example.
I don’t fascinate easily. Some themes continue, like doctors giving out drugs that make it possible for rich famous people to accidentally overdoes themselves.
I do NOT think Elvis, Hendrix, Joplin, Morrison, Smith or Jackson intended suicide. No opinion about Marilyn Monroe.
