  When Billy Wilder died, the headline in a major Paris paper was, &quot;Billy Wilder Dies, Nobody&apos;s Perfect.&quot;

  Marilyn&apos;s dresses in this movie left me awestruck and still do. Not only are they stunning but they&apos;re absolute marvels of &quot;how the hell is that staying on??&quot; and &quot;is there anything covering her boobs besides sheer??&quot; I love this movie!

  Marilyn had horrible struggles.<br>The only person I’ve heard have a deeply intelligent take on her as her old roommate and lifelong friend &nbsp;was Shelley Winters. She understood her deep pain and could articulate her behavior and her fear, loneliness, and trying to live after a childhood of severe abuse.

  Fun fact: apparently, this movie was one of the most favorite foreign movies of Soviet audiences. They ran this movie in Soviet theaters for years and it was always consistently packed with ppl.

  This was one of the last movies I watched with my grandma as she was dying from Alzheimer’s. I will never forget the scene where Tony Curtis screams “MOVE!” as they booked it across the lobby running from the mob with their heels clacking. My grandma was HOWLING and cackling and that made it even funnier to me lol

  Everyone always claims to of slept with Marilyn… she was pregnant with Arthur’s baby throughout this movie, but ultimately lost the baby. Leaving Marilyn absolutely heartbroken. Losing the baby left her with a deep depression and causing a drift between MM &amp; AM.

  I have watched and studied documentaries on old Hollywood most of my life. &nbsp;I have never heard anyone tell Marilyn&apos;s difficult story with such grace, respect, and care. &nbsp;I wept hearing it. &nbsp;I know she would be proud of your work.

  Thank you for emphasizing Marilyn&apos;s endometriosis. It&apos;s still a condition very few people talk about and very little medical research is devoted to. It absolutely can ruin your life if you&apos;re denied treatment, and often that treatment is ineffective even if you get it -- Marilyn had several surgeries, and it kept coming back. Endometriosis absolutely puts your mental and physical health through the ringer.

  It is always hilarious (and frightening) how much these Leagues of Decency types seem to &apos;know&apos; about the &apos;darker recesses of the human imagination&apos;. You have to wonder what their private lifes were really like.

  Billy Wilder was a genius. I heard a story where MM went into the ladies&apos; room at some restaurant &amp; she ran into Rita Hayworth, who was crying about some man. Monroe tells her, &quot;Honey, if I looked like you, I wouldn&apos;t be crying.&quot; These 2 absolute amazing women both suffered childhood traumas, made it to the pinnacle &amp; still were both internally broken. &nbsp;The thing about MM she was really funny &amp; far from stupid. When Shelly Winters asked her if she could date anyone who would it be, Monroe replied....Einstein. Shelly said she had to stifle her laughter because Monroe was dead serious. I laughed all over again watching some of the scenes &amp; I agree the maraca scene is hysterical.
