Marilyn Monroe

Post Reply New Topic

It's funny :

a man (Elvis) can have many women and people think he's a total stud but a woman (Monroe) can't have many men cuz then she's a slut , funny huh

She couldn't act ?

It sure looked like she was acting in Misfits

Elizabeth Taylor claimed (In writing!) to have had a one-time 'experience' with her.

Just Google 'Elizabeth Taylor Marilyn Monroe Affair'.

When I read that it really shocked me.....one of the few Hollywood rumors/legends/gossip tha has!

Please don't. I just did and the result gave my computer a virus warning. I hope I didn't get a virus.

I don't think that is true. Someone is trying to make some money off MM's corpse. Taylor is dead now too and it's strange the rumor only came out after both were dead and couldn't fight back.

Can you post the details you read, (in your own words) so no one else is subject to that website's possible virus, maybe?

Marilyn was jealous of Liz' salary for Cleopatra and concerned that she was not considered as big a star. This is according to her maid/seamstress, Lena Pepitone, whose biography of Marilyn based on time spent in her employ and household, is very interesting. Lena also witnessed Marilyn try (and fail) to seduce Monty Clift. She tried in order to compete with Liz who she thought might be having an affair with Monty. After she failed she concluded Monty wasn't into women at all.

I love MM. I think she is beautiful, mysterious, talented and intelligent. She also picked herself up from a horrible early life and became 'somebody.' It took a toll on her though.

Dear Popsicle, One of the BIG mysteries (to me) is 'What happened to Marilyn's money?'

She lived in that house nine months, died there, never furnished it!

Her last photo session in the living room, only three chairs were in the room, according to the photographer!

If you Google her death scene, she only had a tiny three-legged table by the bedside, most of her bedside 'stuff' was on the floor!

She never made as much as other female stars of her time; Jane Russell made over twice as much in 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'!

Elizabeth Taylor said that Marilyn followed her around incessantly at a party, making herself obvious, and she (Elizabeth) basically figured 'what the H___'.

At least three sites name other women that Marilyn was supposedly intimate with.

Well she wasn't Judy garland or Elizabeth taylor.

Her name was Norma jean and she was a Gemini. died in her late thirites and battled with bulimia and men most of her adult life. oh and she was an on-off alcoholic.
She probably thought in her manic depressive state, this is it, no one gets me this is the end climbs to the ninth story floor and overdoses on sleeping pills. People say it was because she had the moon in Pisces and during that time it would probably have been enough to send her over the edge. People who weren't at all like her were full of their own mindless stupid statistics about who is now the next star of broadway, although I think she got on with james dean. probably because they were both air signs. surely rock Hudson had nothing to do with it, I mean yes he had aids but why were both Monroe and taylor forced to campaign by picking up the pieces strewn behind him??

good grief

I never saw Marilyn Monroe as attractive .. a similar actress, Misty Ayers was alot more attractive. now, someone like Audrey Hepburn on the other hand..

Actually, Jane Russell was stunning.

Gene Tierney was lovely.

And Princess Grace was possibly the most beautiful of her era.

And no one has mentioned Katherine Hepburn, not only beautiful, but the most talented, except for Ingrid Bergman.

tazers and electrical prods are the only things i consider to be stunning.

Here s a good one of her as Norma jean.
in those days ladies you needed consent and be over 21.

enjoy.

I would.

She was so young and so optimistic in that picture.

She thought fame would bring wealth and love and happiness......

she looks in that photo, SO MUCH like my aunt.

Marilyn was envious of Liz, witnessed by Marilyn's maid, written about in the book I mentioned before. Doesn't mean she wanted to have sex with her. Joe diMaggio and family said those types of things were just gossip about Marilyn. People think she's pretty so they want to think she was sex mad. In fact she barely tolerated it. That's according to people who slept with her.

Marilyn left most of her belongings and estate to the Lee Strasberg family. Lee's last wife and widow still auctions off some Marilyn belongings sometimes and of course her image and estate is worth a fortune.

I think Marilyn did not finish Helena Drive (her final home) because she was depressed.

The rumor about Joan is that she was gay, or bi, and hit on just about every attractive female star at some point or other. Bette Davis claims she hit on her; Bette turned her down and that was the source of their feud (according to Bette.) Marilyn claims that Joan hit on her when MM was a starlet, and MM said no; later Joan publicly denounced MM.

I honestly don't think MM was gay although I would not care if she was.

Actually, most 'rumors' about Ms. Crawford are facts.

She was a real piece of work.
