One of the TV channels is showing back-to-back movies with Marilyn Monroe.
She is the quintessential bubblegum girl.
But, she was a very good actress, undermined by her light roles. And even those she played well.
Look at her expression in the above movie still, reacting to all those diamonds. She may be role-playing, but who can role-play like that?
I think her life was tragic. She was beautiful, talented and feminine. Everyone wanted her. I don't know what could have saved her. Today's actresses, perhaps having learned from her, are much more restrained.
But then, we have lost the glamour and the excitement, and the beauty, of Marilyn's Hollywood.
Beauty is enchanting and mesmerizing. But it can also be destructive.
