MARILYN WAS A SHITTY ACTRESS TOO
There's a Marilyn Monroe photo layout over at IDLYITW that's worth looking at. Now here's a bit of trivia: not a single Marilyn Monroe movie made money, except Some Like it Hot, in which she was not the star. This third rate so-called actress was just another blonde with big tits and a publicity mill to tell us all she was something she was not. The babe above this piece has her beat 60 ways to Sunday. BTW, Monroe is touted in Gentelmen Prefer Blondes ,. a movie that grossed $12mil. She was zero box office but one hundred percent public image.

Just one problem, Howard: Marilyn was pretty flat-chested.
Another problem: MM "Made Money". Big money, for everyone but herself.
She was not the best actress of her generation, which was one later than the one that produced great actresses like Crawford and Davis, and one generation before the one that gave us Jane Fonda, Catherine Deneuve and Faye Dunaway. She was every bit the equal of Audrey Hepburn and Liz Taylor, if not Ava Gardner. But she put asses in the seats. And she was her own best publicity agent-she knew how to work the press very well.
Was she crazy? A little, but mostly crazy like a fox.
