'Norma Jeane' was the future Marilyn Monroe. "A career is born in public -- talent in privacy." - Marilyn MonroeMarilyn was a self-made woman."Nobody discovered her, she earned her own way to stardom." - Darryl Zanuck, President of 20th Century Fox.Marilyn made feminine sexuality seem innocent, playful, and free. Marilyn was a unique, eccentric individual. Her advice to women was to just "be yourself". Marilyn didn't always like being typecast as the 'dumb blonde'. Were she left to her own preferences, we would have seen her in roles that didn't make it to the forefront until the 1970's, with Farrah Fawcett, and 'Bond Girls', in addition to more serious performances. While imitation is supposedly the best form of flattery, it would be more impressive to take Marilyn's cue and tackle expressing yourself with fervor. Nay-sayers like to bring up Jean Harlow as if to say that's where it starts and where it stops. But aside from hair color, the two women were quite different. And while most don't know it, Jean Harlow had Mata Hari before her. Mata Hari dyed her hair platinum on occasion, too!Music: "California Sun" by The RamonesThis is a tribute to the girl who invented 'the girl on the beach'
