Marilyn Monroe

The more you learn about MM, the more you see things like Netflix's 'The Mystery of Marilyn Monroe: The Unheard Tapes,' the more true you will find this assessment of her by someone you'd never guess.

"Marilyn Monroe on the screen was an image of pure, innocent, childlike joy in living. She projected the sense of a person born and reared in some radiant utopia untouched by suffering, unable to conceive of ugliness or evil...a woman...who was able to project the glowingly innocent sexuality of a being from some planet uncorrupted by guilt - who found herself regarded and ballyhooed as a vulgar symbol of obscenity...A brilliantly talented actress, who was told by the alleged authorities, by Hollywood, by the press, that she could not act....If ever there was a victim of society, Marilyn Monroe was that victim - of a society that professes dedication to the relief of the suffering, but kills the joyous."

Ayn Rand
