  Marilyn should've been nominated for an Oscar for "Some Like It Hot". Very underrated performance when you watch it today.

  It's 2026 now and long after this 75th. Marilyn would've been 100 now.

  I think Jane Russell was right about Marilyn Monroe not having anyone to turn to.  Just from this group alone, you see how fragmented their knowledge of her really is.  Russell only knew her on the set of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" and rarely spoke to her outside of that.  Ditto for Donald O'Connor.  It's weird.  Curtis seems the most annoyed about her legendary status, but he also didn't really know her that well.  Their co-star on "Some Like It Hot," Jack Lemmon was often asked about her as well.  I would have liked to see interviews with people like Dean Martin, who said he wouldn't finish "Something's Gotta Give" without Monroe when the studio fired her.

  All she ever wanted was someone to truly love her and see her Beyond the character she played of Marilyn 😔😔

  I think Tony had some unresolved thing with Marylin, not the first time I’ve seen him talk about her in this passive/aggressive way, disparaging and complimenting. I mean she was a human being with her imperfections no doubt like all of us really but this was meant to honour her extraordinary career, no need to trash her! Me thinks he was jealous of her success …or maybe she was the one who gave him the cold shoulder in the end, we’ll never know!

  Tony Curtis humiliated Marilyn on the set of Some Like It Hot, took advantage of her when she was going through a nasty divorce, nearly got her pregnant (allegedly) and had the audacity to say she was the problem. Tony Curtis has always been jealous of her talent, success, etc. Once the mid 60’s came around, his career fizzled out and Hollywood dropped him like a hot plate while Marilyn even to this day is still loved and adored by millions. He spent the rest of life talking about her. Everytime he was asked to do an interview, it was always to talk about Marilyn. He couldn’t stand that. But towards the end of his life he wrote a book just to profit off of it as the only way to stay relevant

  I loved her singing voice. So tinkling and melodic. Very recognizable.

  “What did she have to not be happy” she legit grew up in the foster care system where one of her foster brothers raped her and was so bad she married 16 just to avoid another 2 years in the system. Her grandmother tried to smother her with a pillow as a baby and both her grandmother and mother had mental health issues to the point they couldn’t care for her hence the foster system. She called one of them mama and one of the foster mothers told her as a little girl “I’m not your mama”. Fame and fortune doesn’t take away the pain hurt and trauma like that. Also Joe Dimagio beat her after the famous skirt blowing scene that led to a divorce. The Kennedy brothers claimed they’d leave their wives for her but lied every time. She went through a lot of stuff. I really wish she would’ve lived to be in this video of what would’ve been her 75th Birthday I will be 29 in June yet I know 36 is way to young to die. She was extremely talented and very mistreated by people especially while she was alive. Her work will live on forever.
