DUMB BLONDE!

MARILYN MONROE

Never make the mistake of thinking Marilyn was her characters. She wasn't . . . . . . . .simply she was a fine actor and comedically brilliant but she was more than that too. 

Marilyn Monroe at The Actor’s Studio in 1955.

“Most of the great stars of the Actors Studio were there to see Marilyn Monroe do Anna Christie. I was there, and it was a night I’ll never forget. She was marvelous. It was Marilyn’s own thing- Marilyn playing this beat down old streetwalker. It was a joke that Marilyn was going to do a scene from Anna Christie. But it was no joke. It was really an extraordinary moment in the theater. She would have been marvelous in the theater.” - John Springer, publicist.
