| | | Marilyn Monroe was a shit actress I know she is an icon for being picture perfect, but does anyone else find her acting annoying? I can't watch any of her movies as she makes me feel claustrophobic. |

| | | Agreed, but she had a fine pair of breasts and was a bit thick which as any man will tell you are admirable qualities and to be commended |

| | | She was a genius comedian and a good actress. And she had versatility. Has anyone seen Niagra???? exactly. The Misfits?? exactly.
The problem is that she was typecasted as the dumb blond so almost all of her roles were the same so she just didn't have a chance, it doesn't mean she was bad. By the time she died she was hoping to go in a different direction and go with dramatic roles. |

Didn't you also make a thread not so long ago about Marilyn's supposed shittiness as an actress...or was it Liz? Can't remember. Either way, your mouth was a shit abyss.

| | | She does perfectly what she was required to do in her films. That's not the same as being a classical great actress, but most classically great actresses would have looked bloody stupid in Marilyn's roles!

| | | I don't think Marilyn was stupid? She was married to Arthur Miller for God's sake. Not the dumbest guy ever. From what I understand she actually was pretty literate. |

| | | Marilyn was given the same shitty roles in Hollywood, which she fought constantly and because of that was labelled as a "troublemaker"; so she left Hollywood and told them to shove those shit role up their asses. This was huge for a woman to do back then.
She went and worked her ass off in The Actor's Studio in NYC. If she had no talent, they wouldn't let her ass through the door there! She later had some great roles, which I guess you missed.
If you really watched her roles, even the stupid, bubblehead ones, she had great timing, and she did make you believe that she was exactly that character she was supposed to be. In real life, she was NOT a stupid bimbo. She was the first woman to negotiate and purchase her own production company. She had those bastards where she wanted them. Too bad she was dead before it got off the ground.
Say what you will, but when men did it, they were called shrewd and tough. She was called a whore and a cunt. I think if she had kept going, she would have been a brilliant actor. |

| | | She was trying to get Hollywood to let her work on the Brother Karamozov because she had read it and wanted to play one of the roles. |

| | | “Hollywood is a place,” Marilyn Monroe once said, “where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul.
“I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough, and held out for the fifty cents.” |
