Sadly, it seems Marilyn's magic was only on the screen.

Be a hero, like Audrey Hepburn. Blissful Being said...

I definately agree with you. Audrey is my all-time favorite actress. When I was younger I wanted to dress like her and have her elegance...

I still can't help feel sorry for poor Marilyn. She was a victim of her surroundings and upbringing. Her behavior was not uncommon to a person brought up the way she was. However, I simply disliked her movies because personally I just thought she was a bad actress... My humble opinion anyway... ; )

Thanks for this post. It was enlightening. I was not aware of these facts.

The lover happened to be the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Thus began speculation that she was murdered with Nebutal suppositories to silence any blabbing to the press.

I believe this to be the most likely cause of death. No pills were found in her system, which totally throws out the idea of her overdosing. Plus, morticians are well known to be payed off to report what they're told to. Not to mention the fact that her death records are not supposed to be released until the last Kennady who was alive during the time of her death is dead. I completely believe that Marilyn was murdered. I'm not a particular fan of hers, nor do I greatly admire her, so I have nothing to gain by thinking this. I just feel out of all the evidence, that it's most likely that someone she trusted spent an evening with her, and gave her suppositories letting her think they would calm her and help her sleep, when in fact they killed her

There's no denying that Hepburn was a truly beautiful soul, who was much more than an actress. She showed her deep caring and love for humanity and the 'under-dog' in very real terms....throughout her life, from beginning to end. Audrey was an exceptional human being who made a difference in this world.

However, to me, Marilyn will always shine like the brilliant luminous star she was. Marilyn was a beautiful Hollywood icon...a great success...but at the same time, she was also the 'under-dog'. She bared her breasts...but she also bared her soul and her frailties and flaws...for the whole world to see. I love her for that...and many people do...and that's why she'll always be our darling beloved Marilyn Monroe.

Love, Wyzowl x

LOVED THIS BLOG!!! I always saw Audrey Hepburn as a role model.
I adore Marilyn, but also saw her fragility.

When you wrote that we have a choice between being "paralyzed" or "galvanized" by our life's pain,you said something I'll never forget. Thank you, Starr Sisters!!

Didn't know Audrey Hepburn was with the underground during WW II.
Class, beauty, sex appeal & courage...she had it all. We'll never see her likes again!!

It's so great to know Audrey was as magical offscreen as on. It is probably too true that Marilyn's magic was mostly onscreen. So sad.
Loved that you can be galvanized or paralyzed. The choice is ours. That'll stick with me for sure!!
Thanks for another amazing blog with amazing parallels. You guys rock!!

Audrey Hepburn is timeless. I love "Moon River" and the way she moved and dressed. Knowing she was a ballerina explains alot. Poor, sad Marilyn. Life is an illusion and we all can't help but love her, too!

I've tried, but I can't sit through even one of her movies; her acting was kinda wooden and one note IMO; she did alot of pouting and posing; yes, she was pretty, but so are lots of people; I think she was very lucky and very ambitious.
