Favorite Marilyn film: My favorite Marilyn film would have to be Seven Year Itch. I think it’s a classic film that I could watch every night!

What do you and Marilyn have in common? Although I’m not as big of a name as Marilyn Monroe, I am on tv and have to play a character and in a way live up to my ‘character.’  Marilyn was known for her curves, sex appeal and being a ‘dumb blonde.’ Those characteristics are what I guess you can say I am known for, my girlish figure, talking about men and being ‘the blonde.’  I can relate to Marilyn in that sense, that I have a particular tv image in which I need to portray and society can easily misjudge you for it.

Joe DiMaggio, Arthur Miller or JFK: I would hands down have to say Joe DiMaggio!

What has Marilyn taught you? Society can be such a mean thing, but no matter what anybody says or thinks about you, stay true to yourself. A lot of times people try to let jealousy and other negative traits interfere with your dreams. As long as you’re happy with the person you are, that is all that should matter!

‘To me, Marilyn is… somebody who I can look up to and relate to on different levels. Although society may have brought her down many a time, she still was strong enough to be the person she was comfortable with being. I think that in itself is a tremendous character and I have alot of respect for her.‘
