I Miss Monroe ♥

Today, 58 years ago, Marilyn appears on the cover of "TIME"

She did a lot of great things.

Not only as an actress and a singer but she also went to sing in Korea, for the soldier, which, I personally thought that was so brave and so sweet. It was bloody cold out there, but she just gave it her best shot and danced around in a dress with straps. She ended up sick afterwards but she didn't care, she wanted to honour the soldiers.

Marilyn also was quite the feminist. The things that she thought were sexist in the vows for her marriage to Joe Dimaggio, she just left out.

Marilyn also wrote a lot of beautiful poems and had a high IQ.

A lot of my friends think Marilyn's marriage to Arthur Miller was a big accomplishment because everyone was surprised how "the writer" would fall for the "dumb blonde" (she was portrayed like that all the time) but I don't think it is. I think he's responsible for her bad self esteem and health.

Personally, I think pulling herself back together after 3 failed pregnancies (without crashing in front of the public like a lot of stars do now) is a big accomplishment as well, but then again, I don't know what you think "big accomplishments" are.
