Carol (2015)

Marilyn Monroe photographed by Bob Beerman (1953). “Marilyn never finished high school but she is devoted to the intellectual life. She sprinkles her conversation with lines from Thomas Wolfe and Browning, with the same candid simplicity she uses in describing her dumbbell exercises: “I’m fighting gravity. If you don’t fight gravity, you sag.” Her candor sometimes disconcerts interviewers. ‘Once this fellow says, ‘Marilyn, what do you wear to bed?’ So I said I only wear Chanel No. 5 and he groans, 'Oh no, I can’t use that.’” - Life magazine (April, 1952).
