[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 323865, member: 7"] [JUSTIFY]It's been a while since I've skimmed over Spoto's biography of Marilyn, but I've got it on my book shelf so I might need to dust it off and give it a gander. Perhaps my fuzzy memory is clouding a bit of my judgment. There is a -- sometimes -- unhealthy infatuation people have with Monroe's death. I -- at least at one time -- was certainly one of those people. I watched all the documentaries, read the books, and combed the internet to find literally anything that was the slightest bit "new" concerning the preciseness of her demise. But, yet, that infatuation has dwindled with time. When I do look into Marilyn's life now -- which isn't all that often -- it's almost always from a professional or personal angle. I find it interesting how she wanted desperately to be taken seriously as a film actress, but how she also still craved to be a popular star; therefore omitting the awareness that those two desires aren't always realistically synonymous. It's also interesting to browse her romantic life and how she sought to better herself personally when she relocated to New York in the mid-1950s and took up friendships with bohemians and intellectuals, and even marrying a critically lauded playwright in Arthur Miller.
