  Marilyn Monroe was not a socialite. Marilyn Monroe was not filthy rich. Marilyn Monroe’s goal in life was not to be as pretty as she could. Marilyn Monroe didn’t believed that ‘Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend’. Marilyn Monroe didn’t came from a rich family. Marilyn Monroe was not just a sex symbol. She came from a broken home, she never met her father and her mother was schizophrenic. When she started her career: Worked as a model, and had to do extra hours of work in a factory. Men didn’t gave to her the opportunities that she had: She spent six long years (1947-1952) and numerous of minor movie roles to finally got her first starring role, (Marilyn’s six month contract with Columbia Pictures in 1948 was not renewed because she turned down the offer from Harry Cohn to have a weekend with him on his yacht). She did hours of dramatic lessons, singing lessons and dancing lessons everyday to feel prepared for her roles. When she finally achieved her stardom, her salary at the studio was low. She faced the studio system that was very controlling at the time - she studied method acting in the Actors Studio, builded her own production company (the third woman in history to do this) and made a career that was her pride. She was a early civil rights activist, she donated time and money to numerous charities, she was the first celebrity to talk about child sexual abuse, she had a personal library of over 400 books and was a avid reader. From a girl who came from nothing, she was a Golden Globe winner who starred in over 30 films and won numerous acting awards. She also was very critical about herself and was extremely perfectionist in her films. I can't stand all those Kim Kardashian comparisons, they look NOTHING alike. This glamorous image that you guys see today was far from being the only thing that she had. Don’t be fooled by the myths, don’t be fooled by people’s thoughts about her, don’t be fooled by the fake quotes.

  MARILYN once said " Hollywood is where they pay you $1000 for a kiss & 50 cents for your soul."

  She'd only been appreciated for her beauty. Never her depth.

  Poor Marilyn. She was only 36 when she died and she’s been gone for 61 years, yet her legacy is still strong. She’s &nbsp;loved and missed. A true icon.<br><a href="https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/ripmarilynmonroe">#RIPMarilynMonroe</a> 🙏🏼

  Everyone talks about her obvious beauty but let’s talk about how stinkin cute her mannerisms were &amp; how impressive it was that she acted through a speech impediment (which she developed through sexual abuse at an early age) &amp; held it together SO WELL while dealing with intense misogyny. &nbsp;She was super intelligent, introspective and wise. Really quite an impressive human.

  she is so captivating, even in 2023 I can understand why people were simply charmed by her and her personality, so kind, so genuine and soft spoken, I can listen to her talk for hours
