for me it might have been in the mid-late 90's :-\\

Do you mean the first time her image was implanted into your skull and then never left?

For me, probably in the late '80s. '50s stuff was popular in the '80s, so her image was not hard to come across.

Wow, and you don't remember seeing anything related to Marilyn Monroe until the mid-late '90s?

Early 80s for me I guess.  

There was a really good movie in the 90s called "Calendar Girl", set in the 60s where Jason Priestly and Jerry O'Connell play a bunch of guys who travel to Hollywood to meet Marilyn Monroe

Do you think she's the most attractive actress of all time ?
Hmmmm?

???

She was beautiful, not more beautiful than other actresses of her time.

I could have said better myself 8)

Her acting made me embarrassed for her, especially in "The Millionaire And The Showgirl." She was exceptional playing to a live audience, and as to her beauty, I think that she had a certain completeness that only few have. All the right moves.
The picture of her standing on the street vent with her skirts bellowing, is what comes to mind when her name is mentioned.

I was about 5 or 6 and at madame Tussauds Waxwork Museum in London. They had a waxwork of her from the film Bus Stop and I remember being mesmerised by it and asking my Dad who it was!

Just wanted to know ;D

I'm not a fan either but good answer. i never paid ATTENTION to ::)

70's, I believe they had a whole section on Hollywood icons so it was interesting that they chose that image of her rather than a more famous one like the street vent.

ouch.

When I was a small child. I thought she was beautiful but dumb.  I still think she was murdered. 

I think one distinct memory of me being familiar with her was the Elton John song, "Candle in the Wind."

Does anyone know how this pertains to the 80s?

You can still get a response with just one topic.  What you have now is three different topics all about the same subject, which you copied word for word ???

Marilyn Monroe?  Isn't she the one who kind of looks like Anna Nicole Smith ???

I remember seeing Marilyn Monroe sometime as a teen, in the 70's.  I saw pictures of her a lot, not much "live" action.

Let me add this question to this thread: what actual Marilyn Monroe performance(s) has anyone seen?

I have a copy of an early 50's movie entitled "As Young As You Feel".  It's a light comedy with that dated early 50's charm.  Marilyn Monroe wasn't the star of the movie - she played a secretary.  She wasn't what I'd call an outstanding actress in that movie, but given her role it wasn't necessary - she was effective.  I understand her presence was used as a selling point for the movie (she was considered a "rising star" at that time).  If you get a chance to see this movie, I'll recommend it.  I haven't had the opportunity to see other movies of hers.  Anyone else?

So why are you so interested in her?

the CIA and the mob were in on her assassination, you know.

i think the first time i saw her was probably "some like it hot" in the 70s. i think i heard about her singing happy birthday to JFK pretty early on, too.

I know you love conspiracy theories!





In the early-mid 80s there was quite a resurgence in Marilyn Monroe and James Dean posters/cards etc.  in the UK.  they showed all the James Dean films and probably all the Monroe films as a series every Saturday.  I don't know if I knew about Monroe before that, it's possible, but i would say that's when i first became aware of her as icon.

I know you love conspiracy theories!

it's because bobby kennedy showed her the flying saucers at area 51 to impress her.

I can't remember the first time I saw her - she's always just been part of American life for me.  I love her and think she was one of the most gorgeous women ever.

So why are you so interested in her?
the samething i said to WHISTLEDOG ::)

The first time I ever saw or heard of Marilyn Monroe was in 1952.  My father who, to the best of my knowledge, never read that type of magazine, brought one home with the nude of Marilyn, stretched out with a red backround.  He showed it to my mother and then he showed it to me.  I was eleven...and I was...impressed.  ::)

Well I didnt see here until a couple years ago when I got the movie BUS STOP (1956) on VHS and I think she does an excellent job in that movie......  I later read thats basically her BEST movie......

I think I might have seen her last and final film being made before she had passed away.
