All About Eve is my favorite Marilyn-in-a-minor-role film. The Misfits is my favorite Marilyn-in-a-lead-role film.
Memorable lines: Perce: So what I want to know... what I want to know is: who do you depend on? Roslyn: I don't know. Maybe all there really is is just the next thing. The next thing that happens. Maybe you're not supposed to remember anybody's promises. Roslyn: If I'm going to be alone, I want to be by myself. Guido: She wasn't like any other woman. Stood by me 100%, uncomplaining as a tree. Roslyn: Maybe that's what killed her. And from Marilyn Monroe: In Her Own Words (1983): "Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents."
