Born Norma Jeane Mortenson [later baptized as Norma Jeane Bake] on June 1, 1926, in Los Angeles, California, Marilyn Monroe was one of the greatest women in the world. She defied the norm and broke out into the Hollywood business wowing and wooing everyone she met - A glamazon and the worlds biggest sex symbol there ever was, who is still imitated to this very day.
So why is it that this woman cant get any respect at all? With the Kennedy scandal, her 'behavioral' issues, and most importantly her death, the woman had no privacy and over 40 years later, she may as well be squirming in her grave as the media puts out her private letters, poetry and handwriting analysis to yet again, put her down and make her out to be nothing but an insecure, lonely woman.
She had once said, ''Dogs never bite me; just humans."
The media and others have speculated all they could about her life as all other details of her life which were known to others were hidden. Yet we have seen many books get published, and now a movie - My week with Marilyn.
Again, an uproar on this woman will arise and she will be judged, yet again on who she was just by watching one so-called week from her life - which may not even be authentic. I mean, who knows?
What we all REALLY want to know, is the cause of her death - how, when and why.
What we also want to know, is why the police investigation on her (what was referred to as) murder, just disappeared and was never mentioned or talk about.
We also want an insight on what wen wrong with her relationship with Mr Kennedy and why he is the first person someone is quick to point fingers to when her death - or rather cause of death is mentioned.
We want answers to these questions in order to omit the taint of tawdriness linked to her name. We need the world to see that most of the things that are written about her are mostly misconceptions.
What on EARTH were they thinking when they thought of deciding to make a movie, and have this woman judged yet again - because we all know it will happen.. Further distortion of her image.
And casting Michelle Williams?
Far from spot on. Nothing about her is memorable aside from the lipstick shade.
If for once, the world of media could stop being ludacris and stop spinning stories and unveiling her private life - which may not even be authentic.
Respect the dead - is what anybody worthy of respect would say and do.
Let the lady rest in peace.
