norma jean aka marilyn ..

just watched a short documentary about marilyn monroe and after more than 50 years people are still facinated by her .. why ?? was it just because she was so beautiful ?? i'm sure that had a lot to do with it but there was more to her than that .. she seemed to walk that line between madonna and whore and vixen and damsel in distress . ( she probably didn't do the madonna part all that well actually ) but there was a certain vunerability and sadness about her that made guys want to be sir galahad and rescue her .. the thing is she was a lot smarter than most people gave her credit for and more talented too ..she could act much better than hollywood ever gave her the chance for .. pretty much just throwin her them dumb blonde roles .. and she could sing pretty good too .. she had a sort of lilt in her voice that few girls ever had .. it makes me wonder if she had the chance to concentrate on her singin how far she could have taken it .. the right songs , the right producer .. i think she could have done really well .. i'm sure she could have portrayed that sad damsel in song so well that you'd believe it ..
