Marilyn Monroe was no fun to work with. She would report to work around 5:00 in the evening. You've been in make-up since 8:30 in the morning waiting for her.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Marilyn was terrible to work with. I was fond of her, she was a nice girl, but she was a damaged girl. She was very difficult. You couldn't get her on the set; she didn't know the words.
Marilyn was a great actress, not a dumb blond bombshell. She was very smart, very astute and a good businesswoman.
I would have loved to have met Marilyn Monroe and have dinner with her.
What good is it being Marilyn Monroe? Why can't I just be an ordinary woman?
I used to sit near Marilyn Monroe in the Actor's Studio. She'd get dressed up because that was her identity. Sad. Those cameras wouldn't leave her alone. She didn't know where to hide.
Everybody who's played Marilyn Monroe before has gone down in flames. It's impossible to capture Marilyn Monroe.
I've always been drawn to Marilyn Monroe, but certain aspects of her story may be too sad to tell.
I knew Marilyn over a two-year period. I met her first on a movie called 'Let's Make Love.' I photographed her at that time on and off through the time of her death. I was 22 years old and she was 34 or 35.
They've tried to manufacture other Marilyn Monroes and they will undoubtedly keep trying. But it won't work. She was an original.
I like Marilyn Monroe; she was super glam, weren't she?
