You can take Elvis. You can take Marilyn Monroe. Success and fame will not be the answer if something inside of you is bothering you if things in your mind aren't going right.
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.
I've always been drawn to Marilyn Monroe but certain aspects of her story may be too sad to tell.
Marilyn Monroe never sold a platinum album. And more people know my music than what I look like.
I loved the movies and I wanted to be like Marilyn Monroe. I thought she was so glamorous and everyone seemed to love her. I wanted to be like that and I told everyone I would be the next Marilyn Monroe.
I grew up on Bette Davis movies and Marlene Dietrich Marilyn Monroe.
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.
The working men I'll go by and they'll whistle. At first they whistle because they think 'Oh it's a girl. She's got blond hair and she's not out of shape ' and then they say 'Gosh it's Marilyn Monroe!'
What good is it being Marilyn Monroe? Why can't I just be an ordinary woman?
So I think that Marilyn what she gave the world and in many ways Kennedy too was that they had dreams and they didn't allow anybody to take away their dreams.
