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.

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.

In a way, Joan Crawford reminds me of the queen who asked the mirror who was the most beautiful, and went screaming bonkers when someone else was named.

Sylkat :roll:


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.

I think so too Sylkat but I thought I'd be kind just in case.

I read Mommie, Dearest; also in Jackie Cooper's autobiography he talked about her a bit - it wasn't too flattering.

Kirk Douglas dated her one time...

He wrote in his autobiography that she proudly showed him her son, asleep, strapped into his bed with leather straps, just Iike Christina wrote in 'Mommie Dearest'.

She was proud of the way she treated those kids!

Dear glow, that is an excellent picture or montage....where is that comment from....a letter, maybe?

The picture and written comment, juxtaposed, rather sum up her life, I think.

kindly keep your status to yourself please. I doubt your authenticity can provide adequate details of someone else's past life
-stature or otherwise .

:roll: I thought that some of these pictures which are used in her quotes would have been recognized, as I only used some of her famous ones. The least obscure was from someone's private archives, probably with copyright legislature.

Here are some more!

It's an easy answer. Yes, there have been many actresses since as, or more beautiful, but she has one thing going for her that most of them never did or could: a good mystery.
