That's why it made me so uneasy to see words being put in her mouth that she never really said. People often are biased against MM at first because of the way she’s been misrepresented.

I've actually been looking for you everywhere on the Internet, and this was the one place where I could find you! We would be delighted to have you talk about your mother, Penny McGuiggan, as well as your participation in "Some Like It Hot" if you'd be interested.

It probably made her inner life even harder, but as she said herself, 'I always had too much fantasy to be just a housewife.'

I've never seen a picture of her so young. It is humbling; makes one realize she may have never become so iconic. And in some ways I wonder if it would not have been better for her if she had remained Norma Jeane. Look how fresh faced and, to put it blandly, “typical” Marilyn looks in that shampoo advert.

I agree that Marilyn's tardiness was probably caused by lack of confidence, rather than just selfishness. I can understand that it could be very annoying and some people may have got the wrong impression of Marilyn because of it, but I don't think she could help being insecure about herself at times.

I mean just imagine if one the most iconic blondes in the world never became a blonde? Marilyn and her nerves always caused her to be late. I know people people found her to be a diva for that, but she was just so nervous. A very enlightening read on her first hairdresser. Great blog post!
