The Marilyn Monroe Obession



Why is Marilyn Monroe timelessly idolized? She was an actress and a sex symbol during the 1950s and obviously beautiful to say the least but why is she still put on this pedestal more than 50 years later? What do black girls see in her that they can relate to? What are the reasons why Marilyn Monroe's picturesque face decorates so many college dorm walls? From her quotes to her movie roles, personally Marilyn Monroe was a very vapid icon. Why she is praised? I don't know. For those who do appreciate this blonde in history, I have a couple questions...

How much do you really know about her and her life story? Is it her promiscuous but yet beautiful reputation that gets your intention? Do any of you know who Dorothy Dandridge is? Why are her accomplishments overlooked by the black community?
