Today is the birthday of Marilyn Monroe, the most
glamorous if not the most misunderstood movie star
of all time.
If you have not seen the Misfits, her last completed movie
I suggest that you run to Drive in Movie Store on South Broadway
or the Saratoga Springs public library to rent it.
She was probably one of the most photogenic people and a most
interesting subject matter of the 20th century.
Her life was a clusterfuck of epic proportions but in spite of
a horrific childhood she retained an essence of innocence and purity
in a world (hollywood) where they couldn’t have card less about her.
She would have been 83 years old today.
Happy Birthday Norma Jean!!
