Actual Marilyn Monroe Quotes from her diary and other secure verified sources:

"Why do I feel this torture, why is that I feel less human than the others (always felt in a certain way than I am sub-human, why in other words, I am the worst, why?)"

"Even physically, I have always been sure that something was not right with me."

"Help, help, help, I feel life approaching when all that I want is to die."

"How I would like to be dead, absolutely nonexistent."

But she did say this:

"I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful, but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else."

That pretty much says it all.

I watched an hour of this last night…

It is amazing to see that even in the earliest of films, sure, she’s a beauty, but underneath it is this radiance…this light…and frankly, the most star quality ever given to any individual. Everything she does registers with a “boom”…even in the earliest films, he dialogue is atrocious, her lines readings wooden…and yet you hang on every word…..

I always wondered, had she shifted her base of operations to NYC, permanently, if that would have changed things…She seemed to bloom here….Monroe needed instant approval, instant love and God, if New York didn’t provide it…People would just walk up to her and hug her…

Just caught this on HBO and loved it. It was heartbreaking as I expected it to be but well done none the less.

What do people think of Tennessee Williams rather uncharitable opinion of Marilyn? Do you think he speaks from a place of truth or jealousy and slut-shameyness?


"People praised Marilyn because she read books, because, I think, we couldn't conceive that an ambulatory bowl of rich vanilla ice cream needed to think or to grow a mind. Marilyn sought and developed her identity as a sex symbol; she wiggled and cooed for the camera, but, incapable of satisfaction or understanding, she fought this image, so she would read Joyce and Schopenhauer and Woolf and Jung. Of course she understood none of it, because there was no fertile ground in which any of this could take hold: You can throw a multitude of seeds into the desert sands, but there will never be fruitage. Marilyn's mind was a desert, a drought, with tiny compartments devoted to clothes, makeup, stardom, and ****ing. That is all. That is absolutely all.


Marilyn was an example of the weak children who seek a guru. Having no balance in her life, having no family, having no understanding of the give-and-take that is daily life, she was drawn toward Mary Baker Eddy, Buddha, Jung, Freud, and finally, the gnomish Lee Strasberg, who specialized in adopting sexually confused, physically abused women and becoming the seemingly gentle father figure they desired. Strasberg lied to her and told her she was the new Duse; he told her she should play Nina; he told her to investigate O'Neill and Shakespeare. This was all folly, because Marilyn had no talent and no understanding, and it was folly because Strasberg only wanted access to and withdrawal privileges from fame.


Only Strasberg got what he wanted.


In that awful church in the West 40s, Marilyn sat, face upturned, checkbook open, heart confused, and believed that she might become the great actress Strasberg told her she could and should be. It was an evil, extended con game, and there were many witnesses. You will, no doubt, speak to some of them. It was during Marilyn's tenure at the Studio, and particularly after her death, that the exodus of the talented began from the Studio. The emperor had always been naked, but some of his adherents had finally invested in some spectacles and could see his puny endowments and the intentions he had for them."

Was Tennessee Williams just jealous because Marilyn hung out with Truman Capote and they had a mutual admiration society going? Or did he really believe what he wrote?
