Isn't it funny how there can be something in your life you take for granted, and when it's gone, you feel as though your soul has been ripped out ( Read more... )

You remember me talking about that role that Johnny said he'd get me? The one in the Joe Mankiewicz picture? Well, I got it! I'm sure I wouldn't have if it hadn't been for Johnny, he's the most amazing agent and a wonderful friend. Claudette Colbert can't play in it any longer so Bette Davis is in the lead. To be entirely honest, I'm more than a ( Read more... )

So, another year has past. I don't feel any wiser than I did before although the men in the studios always look at me as though that's a good thing. But I want to better myself ( Read more... )

Big things are happening right now, and it's terribly exciting. First off, Johnny got me a role, a big one. It's in a John Huston picture called The Asphant Jungle. He really really worked at it and I went to audition - I had to lie on the floor because the scene takes place with my character lying on a sofa. Well, I got the part! I'm so excited ( Read more... )

I think I'm just ghastly to have not posted for such a long while, but I do hope you can forgive me.

The part is small but I get to sing which is okay for me) and, on top of that, I've had so much modelling work that it's coming out of my ears. I ( Read more... )

I've just shot a tiny bit part with the Marx Brothers, for their latest, Love Happy. I cannot believe that I am in one of their films! I used to go and see them quite a lot when I was ten or so, I'd get myself so lost in the cinema and I'd watch the film again and again and again. I wouldn't care how many reels of news footage I had to watch, just ( Read more... )

Things are looking up for me. Thank goodness! I can't believe that, in a year, the 1940s will be over. Maybe the 1950s will be my decade. Who knows ( Read more... )

Columbia fired me ( Read more... )

Things are going quite well at the moment. A lot of modelling work has been coming my way, along with my first leading role! I'm so excited. I've already started work on 'The Ladies Of The Chorus' and I'm very much enjoying it. I play a young chorus girl who falls in love with a wealthy man. I quite like the role and I get to sing which is just ( Read more... )

Hello to all of you reading this. My name is Marilyn Monroe & I'm a movie actress. I can't say star yet but one day, one day. I'm currently on a contract with Columbia so who knows where I'll get to? I've just gotta hold on to my dream ( Read more... )
