I know you clearly *like* Marilyn above all other golden age stars, but do you also think she was the most stunning? :)

The problem is as I know a lot about Marilyn, I see past her looks and see her as a person… A beautiful and kind human being. And I think that helps her in being beautiful. I think there are so many beautiful Old Hollywood stars… I can’t think of anyone from 1940s-1960s who wasn’t truly beautiful physically. I mean even when i would think “that person isn’t that pretty or good looking” I would see them in a film and be stunned by their physical presence. But yes I guess I would say I find her the most stunning but only based on knowledge of her personality and her on screen presence.

What pisses me off more than anything is that when most people think of Marilyn Monroe, they think she slept around or was a slut blah blah. In reality, however, she was kind and beautiful and if you compare her to other old hollywood stars (which I don't like to do but whatever), she was perfect. If you look up old hollywood scandals, for example, her name hardly comes up! She wasn't a slut or super sexually promiscuous, and what annoys me is that that is the sole image most people have of her!

Exactly! Marilyn’s scandals were based on things which people don’t even realise were a big deal back then such a posing nude under a false name and wearing clothes a little tighter than others. People then assume she slept around which she didn’t, and even if she did it wasn’t publicised. It’s what people did in the 1950s and 1960s. I don’t get why people assume it was an era of the prim and proper! Xx
