MARILYN MONROE! An American beauty... almost every girl's inspiration. She stood for a real woman's flaws and beauty. In her time she was in every headline, given an unwanted image. Marilyn Monroe was often misunderstood.
“I've never fooled anyone. I've let people fool themselves. They didn't bother to find out who and what I was. Instead they would invent a character for me. I wouldn't argue with them. They were obviously loving somebody I wasn't.”
-- Marilyn Monroe
When you bite your tongue, people take it into their hands to create you as they want to proceed you. This is somewhat what happened to Mrs. Monroe. Her choosing the word "fooled" stood out to me; mostly because many people like to believe Mrs. Monroe acted around the clock, but according to this quote, she was just being herself. She allowed her audience to manipulate themselves and create her star braking image.

do you think Mrs.Monroe knew people were talking about her?
ReplyDeleteYes, I do. She was constantly in magazines and newspapers and reports talked about her in anyway they wanted. Everyone one eventually finds out when they're being talked about. I personally believe everyones comments were the cause of her death.
