Norma Jean in jeans
To read Marilyn Monroe's story is to grasp a big part of Americana. She is Hollywood's greatest starlet turned beautiful sex symbol super star. She is the misunderstood loner, and the most sought after pin-up. She is known for her T and A but was also a great actress\comedienne. Her career includes stars like Brando, Gable, Lemmon and Olivier. Her personal life includes playwright Arthur Miller and baseball great Joe DiMaggio. She was no one dimensional character. She was intelligent, complex and multi-talented.
“What I really want to say: That what the world really needs is a real feeling of kinship. Everybody: stars, laborers, Negroes, Jews, Arabs. We are all brothers.
Please don't make me a joke. End the interview with what I believe.”

She's really something.
Ladies,
I'm so glad people appreciate her. I just know she would like that.
Where did you find the picture of Norma Jean in Blue Jeans? I had not seen that snapshot before and it is fantastic. I would love to get a copy of it.
