“Marilyn adored animals; she was drawn to all living things. She would spend hundreds of dollars to try to save a storm-damaged дерево and would mourn its death. She welcomed birds, providing дерево houses and Еда for the many species that visited her lawn; she worried about them in bad weather. She worried about Собаки and cats. She once had a dog that was by nature contemplative, but she was convinced he was depressed. She did her best to make him play, and that depressed him even more; on the rare occasions when he did an antic pirouette, Marilyn would hug and Kiss him, delirious with joy.”

- Norman Rosten, poet (via Metamorphosis by David Willis & Stephen Schmidt)

Ты know a lot of people have, oh gee, real quirky problems that they wouldn’t dare have anyone know. But one of my problems happens to show: I’m late. I guess people think that why I’m late is some kind of arrogance and I think it is the opposite of arrogance. I also feel that I’m not in this big American rush, Ты know, Ты got to go and Ты go to go fast but for no good reason. The main thing is, I want to be prepared when I get there to give a good performance или whatever to the best of my ability. A lot of people can be there on time and do nothing, which I have seen them do, and Ты know, all sit around sort of chitchatting and talking trivia about their social life. Gable сказал(-а) about me, “When she’s there, she’s there. All of her is there! She’s there to work.”
- Marilyn Monroe

“I think I had many problems as the Далее starlet keeping the Hollywood Волки from my door. These Волки just could not understand me. They would tell me, ‘But Marilyn, you’re not playing the game the way Ты should. Be smart. You’ll never get anywhere in this business Актёрское искусство the way Ты do.’ My answer to them would be, ‘The only Актёрское искусство I’ll do is for the camera.’ I was determined, no one was going to use me или my body—even if he could help my career. I’ve never gone out with a man I didn’t want to. No one, not even the studio, could force me to дата someone. The one thing I hate еще than anything else is being used. I’ve always worked hard for the sake of someday becoming a talented actress. I knew I would make it someday if I only kept at it and worked hard without lowering my principles and pride in myself.” (Marilyn Monroe)

“I wish I had one tenth of Marilyn’s cleverness,” сказал(-а) Актёрское искусство coach Natasha Lytess. “Whenever I arrived at her Doheny Drive apartment, she was studying.”

Monroe in her last фото session, for LIFE magazine, a месяц before she died. She cared little for things and owned no jewelry. “I’m not interested in money,” Monroe once told an agent. “I just want to be wonderful.”

Eight months before her death Marilyn Monroe discovered a Spanish-style house in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles. She traveled to Mexico in February 1962, enthusiastically searching shops in Cuernavaca, Taxco, Toluca and Acapulco for fabrics, furniture and tiles for her new home.

Will Always remember You!
