Favorite Marilyn film:  Some Like It Hot

What do you and Marilyn have in common? Our desire to be a respected actress and not just a pretty face on the screen. As well as a hopeless romantic who wears her heart on her sleeve.

Joe DiMaggio, Arthur Miller or JFK: Joe DiMaggio due to the genuine love between himself and Marilyn.

What has Marilyn taught you? Marilyn has taught me not to judge a book by it’s cover. She constantly fought her demons, but didn’t allow the world to know how much she hurt. As well to embrace your womanly curves.

‘To me, Marilyn is… the definition of a great actress. Perhaps not necessarily due to her acting on film, which in my opinion she was underrated , but due to her acting in life. Being able to hide her sadness and be able to let the world see a happy go lucky woman, whose beauty defined her. Yet, on the inside, she was crumbling due to the events in her early life, as well, because she felt she was a real actress yet society and Hollywood only really looked at her as just another beautiful woman. Marilyn to me is the perfect example of not letting those around you define who you are. You alone must define yourself.‘
