i think that's just elegant

Dean Martin, Ann-Margret, and Camilla Sparv on the set of Murderers' Row 

Well, the only real biography I've read so far is The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe, although I own a few more. I don't think that makes it very fair to choose that one, so I'm going to choose out of the picture books I own. My favourite has to be Monroe by James Spada. I love the photos he decided to use. Some of the loveliest ones. However, my copy has begun to fall apart. /:

This was almost a tie between Wilder and Cukor, but then I sat down, examined their filmographies and came to a decision. I, overall, have enjoy films by Cukor more so. Not just Marilyn films. If I had judged by solely her films, Billy would have been my choice. He directed two of her most famous films, but I didn't feel it was fair to judge on just her own films. 

My second choice was Madeleine in Vertigo, however, I feel maybe her mental instability would have gotten in the way.

Bette Davis in All About Eve. Marilyn only had a small role, but it was a huge step in her career. I adore this film, Marilyn, and Bette. Bette was such a wonderful actress; I've seen at least four of her films and am trying to get a hold of more.

It's probably a tie between Tom Ewell and Jack Lemmon. They both played great roles and did fantastic jobs, so it's difficult to decide. I love both films, and I don't think they would have been the same had other actors played those characters.
