She made something of herself, and that something was being the icon of the 50s and (for a short time) the 60s. She managed to do almost everything that was thrown at her, despite suffering from anxiety and actually having terrible stage fright. I have both of those things, and she makes me think...well if she can do it, so can I.

She was also murdered by her psychiatrist Ralph Greenson at the behest of Robert Kennedy and they all got away with it. Poor Marilyn, I wish somebody could have been there to save her. At least the Kennedy's got theirs.
