Keep Calm Darling, It's Norma Jeane!

Hi there, my name is Aisling and this is simply a blog dedicated to the beautiful Norma Jeane Mortenson, also known as Marilyn Monroe! I've been a fan of Marilyn since I was a young child, although it is only in the last couple of years I have really began to pursue my interests in MM. I like to post extracts from books, videos, quotes, text and questions but mostly photographs of Marilyn which I like. Sometimes I edit pictures and make GIFs. Message me if you have any questions, I would love to help :)

I think she would have definitely played a lot more serious roles, I understand she was interested in playing Lady Macbeth and also showed interest in other Shakespearian roles so I think she would have probably played one or two either on the stage or in film, she was also in the creative stages of a biopic on Jean Harlow so a biopic. I think she would have taken the 60s movement along with the collapse of the traditional studio system in the stride, it would have given her the power to play roles of women who were more independent. She was 36 so I think the days of playing ditzy blondes would have been almost behind her in 1962, I think her approaching her 40s would have helped her immensely in her battle to play serious roles. Such a shame none of this was ever realised :(
