J.A.W. Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 (edited) I think this should be moved to the Miscellaneous forum.... You can do that by deleting your first post and re-posting it in the "Miscellaneous - Non-Political" forum or PM Jim and ask him to move this thread there. Edited August 5, 2006 by J.A.W.

connoisseur series500 Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Why is she considered the ultimate babe? Is it Hollywood hype or you guys feel the same way? To me, she wasn't anything extraordinary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BERIGAN Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 (edited) What I can't believe, is that I'm the only one mentioning the 4th photo is NOT MM! Conn, she has something that is hard to describe. Most of her on screen behaviour/way of talking would annoy the crap out of me from 99% of the female population, but not from her. There was that ever-present sadness as well. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was on TCM a few nights ago. Jane Russell wasn't exactly chopped liver, but Monroe just seems so exude so much more raw sexuality, in a way most actresses today even can't project.

king ubu Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 If only she had been allowed to do a few more really good films like the one the following pics are from, Conn's question wouldn't need to be asked! I wondered, too, but by now I don't ask it any longer, myself. True what Berigan says, about the annoyance factor. Heard some interview snippets on radio, and her voice is just plain stoopid, but on screen she can do no wrong! The second is a on the set photo by Eve Arnold. Stunning one!

jazzbo Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 (edited) You know, I don't watch her movies, haven't even seen probably a quarter of them. But from photographs I just see a unique charisma that reaches out and grabs many men. She has a full and natural beauty that I wish had been captured more and not "blonded." She managed to embody a type of dream woman of the America of her time that walked in men's heads at night and that they wished they could walk with during the day. I think she was AN ultimate babe. There are others. . . for other men in other generations and places and times. It's sad she was not with us longer.

jazzbo Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Photo #2 is also not MM. I think the intent was to show how she has become an "image of an ultimate babe"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 What I can't believe, is that I'm the only one mentioning the 4th photo is NOT MM! I did notice that photos 2 and 4 were the real MM! Marilyn was the most copied actress but she was unique. A joy to watch, even in bad movies (she did some of those!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold_Z Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Why is she considered the ultimate babe? Is it Hollywood hype or you guys feel the same way? To me, she wasn't anything extraordinary. I DO think she was extraordinary. Dig those curves! Maybe growing up in the 50s and 60s has to do with it. I dunno, but Marilyn, and Claudia Cardinale, espescially are great looking women to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasstrack Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 Marilyn Monroe died exactly 44 years ago. At age 36. I remember reading it in the paper away in the catskills with my family. A sad little girl trapped in a blonde bombshell. She was terrific in Some Like it Hot. Guess she was Sugar. Editorial: I wish you guys would lighten up with this and that should be moved or this thread already happened here. So what? This is an organic thing. Schoolmarms with hospital corner minds need not apply. Please get over it. To quote Big Jule 'you're slowing up the action around here'. Just my 2c and not trying to insult anyone.

"The Misfits" is one of my all time favorite films. So beautiful and so tragic! It's probably one of Gable, Monroe, and Clifts finest moments in three careers that were full of great moments...

Alexander Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Marilyn in "Some Like It Hot," one of the funniest films of all time. "Oh for God's sake, Osgood, I'm a man!" "Nobody's perfect." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 It has been said that nobody knew how to make love to a camera like Marilyn Monroe. It was absolutely true. The pity of it is that she was so screwed up in real life. The shit that poor girl survived... Goodbye, Norma Jean... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
