Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe Favorites

Marilyn Monroe was a passionate woman influenced and inspired by great actors, actresses, composers etc. She became the star she was as a result of what inspired her. Marilyn Monroe posters have stayed in the top ten of most wanted throughout the twentieth century and have not seem to have lost their appeal.

Inspirations
Her earliest inspiration first came from actress Jean Harlow, superstar of the twenties. She dreamed of being like her and always knew her path in life would be on screen. Some other actors and actresses she admired included greats such as Greta Garbo, Ginger Rogers, Joan Crawford, Marlon Brando, Clark Gable, Will Rogers, Cary Grant, and Richard Widmark.

She loved to sing and did so in many of her movies. She enjoyed music favouring artists like Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra in particular. Marilyn Monroe posters that featured her in the movie "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" are very popular as people remember her for her rendition of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend". Other favourite songs from this film included "Bye Bye Baby" and "When Love Goes Wrong" sang with Jane Russell. She was her own worst critic favouring herself in films such as "The Asphalt Jungle" and "Don't Bother to Knock".

She loved poetry especially the works of John Keats and Walt Whitman and favoured the works from playwrights such as Arthur Miller and Tennessee Williams. All in all she appreciated film and was tremendously thrilled to have been a part of it.
