I always thought that Marilyn Monroe had an average IQ, but I read her quotes on Wikipedia and other sites and she sounds witty (a lot of people are horrible at wit) and almost like she has an almost above average IQ. I'm not saying she's Einstein, but she's just as smart or smarter than the average person.I also saw an interview of hers on Youtube and it was amazing. She was careful of what she said and she was articulate. Her whole dumb blonde image was very well crafted, but it hid a very smart and lonely person. A director of one of her films worked with her and was surprised (If I was Marilyn, I would take offense) at how smart she was. I guess people misunderstand her, that's all. She's kind of like Jessica Simpson. Playing dumb, but really extremely intelligent. R.I.P. Norma Jeane.

You think Jessica Simpson is playing dumb?  :o

Is this in conjunction with a BBC documentary?

I think it's part of what would have been her 90th birthday.

She would've looked like this today if it weren't for all those drugs she took.

You'd probably have to figure with all the drugs she took would have that caused her dementia?

The friendship between Marilyn Monroe and Ella Fitzegerald is really fascinating to me. It was very progressive for its time.

Across the country, black musicians, regardless of popularity, were often limited to small nightclubs, having to enter through the back of the house. Similar treatment was common at restaurants and hotels.

Enter Marilyn Monroe

During the ‘50s, one of the most popular venues was Mocambo in Hollywood. Frank Sinatra made his Los Angeles debut at Mocambo in 1943, and it was frequented by the likes of Clark Gable, Charlie Chaplin, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall and Lana Turner.

Fitzgerald was not allowed to play at Mocambo because of her race. Then, one of her biggest fans made a telephone call that quite possibly changed the path of her career for good. Here, she tells the story of how Marilyn Monroe changed her life:

“I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt … she personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him – and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status – that the press would go wild.

“The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman – a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it."


Amazing singing voice too!

Someone on YouTube who apparently used to work for her said that she's actually quite smart and that she's just poorly educated.

The image of Marilyn Monroe on this video is probably the best photograph taken of her. I once saw in a relative's house and totally adored it, and discretely took a picture of it.

I must say that, one day a few months on, my wife when wearing a similar hat, copied that pose.

Was there a time where she was stupid? ???

Beautiful picture. It doesn't get more classier than 1950s fashion!
