Monroe

Famous quotes containing the word monroe:

    So we think of Marilyn who was every man’s love affair with America. Marilyn Monroe who was blonde and beautiful and had a sweet little rinky-dink of a voice and all the cleanliness of all the clean American backyards.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)

    The studio people want me to do “Good-bye Charlie” for the movies, but I’m not going to do it. I don’t like the idea of playing a man in a woman’s body—you know? It just doesn’t seem feminine.
    —Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)

    First, I’m trying to prove to myself that I’m a person. Then maybe I’ll convince myself that I’m an actress.
    —Marilyn Monroe (1926–1962)
