I don't imagine today's teenage boys would find MM particularly erotic.

You think there are millions of teenage boys that know who Marilyn Monroe is?
Much less find her attractive?

Because her status as number one female role model of the 20th Century
is questionable.

Instead, the U.S. government should put Eleanor Roosevelt on a coin.
She *really* was a good role model for women.

Whether Marilyn provoked the Kennedys to kill her by threatening to
call a press conference or whether she OD'd, she screwed up her life
and career either way.  She wanted to play serious acting roles, but
she failed to get them.  Other actresses succeeded during the time
that Marilyn lost:  Audrey Hepburn in "A Nun's Story," Kate Hepburn in
"Desk Set," Kim Novak in "Vertigo,"  Lauren Bacall in "Designing
Woman," etc.

Those who consider Marilyn a martyr for the pre - feminist era,
regardless of whether they cry "forced suicide" or "murder," must deal
with Arthur Miller's comment:  "The girl was sick."

She's too ugly to put on a coin.

A coin engraver can make anyone look passably attractive.

Too ugly? What was Ben Franklin then? Tom Cruise? Or Abe Lincoln? I suppose
he's an Amish Brad Pitt.

True story, ER was on a train, and a drunk man started talking to her.
She gets all indignant and says "You are drunk, sir". His reply was
"Yeah, but you're ugly. I'll wake up sober tomorrow, but you'll still be
ugly".

It was something like that, anyway.

Perhaps someone can tell me - is Churchill the last PM until Thatcher
that actually had balls?

It might be interesting to have an image of MM's vagina on a coin.

Doncha think?
Patrick Turner - 23 Apr 2004 11:58 GMT
I have no time to either agree or disagree with your statements about
the delicious but late Ms Monroe, but what you are saying does not belong on
rec.audio.tubes,
and it is discourteous that this thread is cross posted to so many news groups.
Could you please consider removing rec.audio.tubes from your list of addresses
to which your replies are posted.

"The girl was sick"-Arthur Miller

She had issues, but Miller was told to "get her off the pills" and he
failed miserably. The fact is that Arthur Miller married Monroe for
celebrity and when it became apparent she wasn't what he bargained for
he wanted nothing more to do with her.

No one person is wholly, in the greater sense, responsible for
Monroe's problems: they all contributed, but a lot of people in the
entertainment industry are as troubled as MM was or worse and die of
old age. MM was the victim of foul play, it's pretty well established:
either she was the victim of a reasonably well-planned murder or she
was given a fatal quantity of drugs by mistake or ignorance in an
effort to shut her up while certain parties  got out of town. Suicide
_at that particular time_ would have been incredibly unlikely: she had
just re-signed with Fox to finish SGTG for twice the original money.

Arthur Miller is "America's greatest living playwright" simply out of
longevity, and the dearth of competition in the film, television, and
direct-to-video era. Kids in school might dream of being the next
George Lucas, but not the next Arthur Miller. I personally never
thought that much of "The Crucible" and less of "Salesman". The Lomans
were fuckups, and there isn't anything noble or inspiring in being a
fuckup. And I thought it took more guts to do what Rand-or Kazan for
that matter-did than what Miller did to HUAC: mobsters clam up and go
away on civil contempt every day (or did then) and Miller had made his
money by that point. He would have lived comfortably the rest of his
life if he'd never wrote again.

Putting MM on the dime would serve a lot of purposes. It would
displace the devious FDR, send a signal to the Islamist world, make
the currency more attractive, and be a thorn in the a.s to the Kennedy
Family, to name four good ones.

IMO, MM's "troubles" have been magnified ad infinitum in order to keep the
suicide theory afloat.

There's a convincing theory that MM was murdered in order to put the
Kennedys in hot water.

> Arthur Miller is "America's greatest living playwright"

*LOL*

That's the worst diss I've heard of America lately -- & that's sayin'
somethin'.

It'd be fun to rub the 50- and 10-cent pieces together.

;-)

Well, Jackie famously said that MM would go on "eternally" after she died.

& I'm sure the rest of the hOrn-dOg Kennedys would love seeing MM on the
dime.

Janice
