Words seem over done about Marilyn Monroe. She has been
written about, talked about, and had her image mis-appropriated
more than any other female star in the world. Fans to this day
still worship her and her image. She was not only the most
beautiful star on the planet, but she was also (ask any film
scholar or critic) a great actress.
Producer legend A.C. Lyles of Paramount, who we interviewed in
this here issue, and who used to help watch after her and keep
her away from trouble, stated to Bruce Edwin, “Marilyn was
a sweetheart. She had a sense of vulnerability about her. She was
smart, but she was vulnerable. She needed (to be) protected.”
From the edge of your seat excitement of her work in the great
film ‘Niagra,’ to her bombshell humor in the classic
‘Some Like it Hot,’ and beyond, Marilyn Monroe will
forever be remembered as one of the classiest, sexiest, and most
talented stars not only of her time, but of all time.
