Fans lm 85yrs now and l had the personal experience of working with marilyn monroe on her last incomplete movie something got to give I worked at the studio in 1960 to 1962 on the crew marilyn was so kind and caring to the staff and crew on that movie set she was like a angel sent from heaven her beauty was just so breathtaking unbelievable gorgeous in person please be kind to marilyn's memory rest in peace marilyn thank you
???? What does that mean? All beautiful people are unhappy? Beauty means you automatically deserve to be happy? Ugly people are happy? Beautiful people deserve to be happier than ugly ones?
@@annnee6818 I think @bri herigan might be referring to Marilyn being a beautiful person with a beautiful soul. Comments are not always literal, you know.
The greatest thing about this documentary is that it has people who knew her, loved her, worked with her who made their statements about Marilyn ON THE RECORD. They touched her, lived with her, knew her, smelled her. They KNEW HER and their stories are all firsthand. Now there is virtually no one left alive that was a part of her life. I really love her make-up man, Whitey Snyder. He cared so much for her. Now, in all books and documentaries, we get people who didn't even know her commenting on her, reciting stories that they have heard and that have been handed down as gospel. This is a great documentary with those alive and around her when she herself was alive and working. (And sometimes playing!)
Such a great video. I was amazed to learn Whitey Snyder was her make up guy from her first screen test in 1946 at 20th Century Fox, to her actual funeral in 62, and all her movies. He seems so nice. He must have truly known her very well.
What makes Marilyn Monroe a sadder mystery is the fact that nobody truly knows what happened the night she died, I would love to hear more stories of her! They're so fascinating!
Engrafted Word Ministries Arizona the actual situ it's much, MUCH sadder (no, I'm not referring to nonsensical conspiracy b.s.,, no Kennedy's, etc.) What happened was... all I am say a combination of someone's misguided ego, and highly tragic circumstances.
Very interesting documentary . Lovely to hear great directors like Joshua Logan and John Huston say Marilyn was a wonderful actress . Really interesting also to hear what her makeup man and masseur had to say . Thanks for uploading
It’s interesting to note - and comforting, that fame didn’t mean much to Marilyn ultimately, once she had finally experienced it. She knew it for what it is, as she revealed in her final interview, in her acknowledgement of how fame is fickle. And if it ever left her, then so long, she’s had it, but it’s not where she lives. That kind of pragmatism would have served her well in other areas of her life. I think in the end, it wasn’t even the fame she wanted, because she had attained it. But self-improvement, and the love that comes with being satisfied. The kind of love one can give only to themselves, I believe was the key she really sought. Insecurity, and the belief that, despite our successes, we somehow don’t measure up can be debilitating to many areas of life. I wish only that dear Marilyn had been given longer than 36 years to find her peace.
I worked for a retired F.b.i agent who was working at the time of Marilyn's passing, he told me "The Kennedys had their hands in it," I believe that as well.
Marilyn Monroe: 10 years On. (1972 Rare Documentary) Documentary with Rare interviews with people that knew Marilyn Monroe such as Ralph Roberts(massage man) and Allan Snyder(Makeup man) Jim Dougherty(first husband)
Her tragic end reminds me somewhat of Janis Joplins story...both of them were chasing love and acceptance, so very sad. But I don't believe for one second that MM committed suicide, I believe she was murdered.
If Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby could get away what they have gotten away with, imagine what Marilyn, and the women of that day went through? Those poor women must have dealt with the nastiest, dirtiest, filthiest assholes. RIP to all the women exploited by awful jerks. They had no one to help them back then. So tragic.
Arthur Freed pulled his penis out towards an innocent Shirley Temple when she was 12! Makes me angry and very sick. It answers A LOT of questions why so many actresses ended up with so many substance abuse problems. Ava Gardner, Judy Garland, Liz Taylor, Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, Veronica Lake, Linda Darnell, Natalie Wood and on and on and on... Every single studio was pulling this shit all the way at the top! Few actresses were exempt. Some married very young and were, as a result, "protected". It's possible that the very top 1% may have been immune to the sexual advanced due to their rare beauty. Women such as Greta Garbo or Hedy Lamarr.
@Tony From Coney, Ralph, (Rafe to Marilyn!), Roberts really loved her. They were like brother and sister, but I think the relationship went over the line a few times. When Marilyn was at her worst, she was truly pathetic and anyone who loved her would do anything to get her out of that. To show love, Marilyn thought that giving her body, and having someone give theirs to her, was the greatest gift, MEDICINE, an affirmation and a boost to her always fragile ego and self-confidence.
i lived across the street from Hollygrove Orphanage on el centro in LA....where she had lived. we sat on the lawn she played on....sacred ground. bless u honey i treasure our memories.
That's cool. Did you know that the original building that Norma Jeane lived in on that property was torn down and a newer building was put up in it's place? Yep. It's a newer building on the property now, same location.
Until internet, I did not know how wonderful Marilyn Monroe was as first, a really sweet kind human being, then an actress, and she could sing very well. I was born in 54, my parents were not necessarily movie goers so I did not know much about her as a kid. I knew my uncle had a pin up of her hanging in his rock shop. I remember admiring that pin up as a kid. I feel she was murdered. How sad when all she wanted was love and a family.
It is AMAZING that Marilyn could manage all of the dance sequences in her movies. She had Meniere's Disease, an inner ear disorder that causes vertigo and dizzy spells. Marilyn didn't even know it, and she did all of those complicated dance routines IN SPITE OF IT, and with her not KNOWING. That woman was a trouper!!! (And a great dancer!!)
22:10 - 22:15 - disgraceful. I and any human being would rather see her alive, growing old, experiencing more of life. So what if her beauty fade over the years? She could have been successful as an actress maybe get the roles she wanted , could have enjoyed her new home, maybe have a stable marriage now that she wasn't the "Sex Goddess", maybe have a child or adopt a child. So many things. Even simple quite life. How can anyone say "it's better she died young (murdered rather) so we can remember her that way". What a selfish point of view.
16:37 Six o' clock at night and ten o' clock in the evening. Very good documentary. It's good to hear from those who knew her first-hand and who speak well of her, and it was only a decade after she passed , so it wasn't that long after.
@Brianna Watkins,, Marilyn was WAY ahead of her time!! And it is nice that younger fans such as yourself keep Marilyn alive in people's minds. Marilyn was so terrified of being alone and forgotten. She never really felt she meant anything. She always felt worthless. She had a terrible life. She had joy, but it never lasted long. Her fear and unhappiness always took her joy and confidence away.
I would love to have met her. You were so lucky. Do you know if she wore Chanel no 5 everyday? I sympathise with her life story and yet what an enigma she was. ❤❤
How any of the "men" in this video can have the audacity to "compare" her to other actresses is so laughable. Marilyn was miles high, ahead of her time. Hollywood at that time wasn't smart enough to "file" / control her. I wish she left LA and did more theater in NY. She would've come more circle, but she was already so entrenched in pills and the machine. Hollywood killed her. Her death is one big complete unfathomable heartache to anyone who "got" her.
I just had started school at this time. Amazing how young people from old Hollywood still were! The problem with Marilyn is the problem anyone has in life when they have psychological issues. You can do this or that, but it's always there like a dark cloud. It only dissipates at the cemetery.
Her story was not as tragic as people paint it to be, hearing directly from the people who knows her personally her story was more like a normal human being going through a hard time but hers was in front of the camera.
That's true. People like to believe in these kinds of myths. Reminds me of how people always say that any Edward Hopper painting is a depiction of loneliness and how he himself once said that people interpreted loneliness in his paintings where he hadn't intended any.
1962 feels like a complete other era…what surprises me in a bizarre way is how recent 1972 feels. Marilyn is now a historical figure who seems untouchable to the observer. It’s just crazy to me how recent it really is when you put it into perspective.
She is the sweetest human and most beautiful inside and out and her beauty surpasses today and I just love her ♥️ My first picture to see Marylyn Monroe I saw Gentleman Prefer Blondes and I thought what a beautiful Doll she and Mrs.Russell performance was spectacular and brilliant ♥️🤓
Marylyn Monroe was a Beautiful, Talented, SMART, INTELLIGENT, misunderstood Woman!! She wasn’t “A DUMB BLOND” as they made her portray in the Movies! They, the studios and men in her life, took advantage of her, and used her for their own personal and financial gain!! She just wanted to be loved, unconditionally, for who she truly was, and be understood, and excepted! I absolutely adore her and find her fascinating!!
@@peterm1826 God knows - he was ugly and without charisma his whole life! I guess the answer must be success, because against all the odds he was very successful - and his inexplicable confidence made him believe he could marry a knockout woman like Ava Gardner. He was a walking advert for the power of positive thinking - because he achieved many things that seem utterly impossible, never mind improbable, when you look at him. A successful movie star, fabulously rich, a big house and flashy car, a movie goddess for a wife, etc etc. Who woulda thought it?! My Gran once told me a little poem on the subject of positive thinking that I've never forgotten: "What the mind can conceive and believe, It can achieve".
@@glamdolly30 so much for positive thinking look were he ended up in a nursing home being abused by staff member and only $20,000 left to his name not to mention family fighting over whats left of his estate he must of stopped thinking for a moment
There's really only a handful of Documentaries on Marilyn that are good. There is a few that are heavy on the Kennedys and the Mafia. Stay away from those. "The Legend of Marilyn Monroe" with John Huston narrating "Something's Got To Give" done in 1990 originally. "Marilyn Monroe: The Final Days" "Marilyn Monroe: The Mortal Goddess" The very first documentary done on Marilyn was in October 1962. It was black and white and very short. I used to have the VHS on it, but honestly I wouldn't call it a good one. It didn't cover a good portion of what went on in her life.
Great documentary. She told Dr Greenson she was going to do one film a year and do theatre instead the rest of the time. Sad that when she had a future planned it all ended.
Ann Nee & Sarah holland: Miller was bowled over by her. He had a really drab life and Marilyn had an aura of sensuality, innocence and an intellect that interested people. Sadly, she was also not well physically or psychologically for most of her adult life and that made Miller come to DESPISE her. Miller was another one of the users. She thought he would "save" her but he was so cold. I don't think he ever really loved anyone. He made very little money during their marriage and Marilyn supported HIM. She paid his alimony, paid his lawyers, paid the rent, paid for renovations to the Connecticut farm, paid for a vehicle he had shipped over from England~~~she paid for EVERYTHING. He liked basking in her glow, but he was a terrible husband. Shortly before their marriage, Miller had said that he would write and support her and she could rest and get herself straightened out, but he never made more than a pittance, so he told Marilyn she HAD to work. It was a great disappointment to her. She thought she would rest and get well and have a child, but she was making a movie within three months of the marriage. He was one cold and selfish s.o.b.. Poor Marilyn. She always put her HOPE in the wrong places and with the wrong people. Miller was toxic for her and he USED her.
@@MissditabombYou're 100% correct. In addition, doesn't it seem that Miller was always just a little jealous and resentful of her success, poise, charm, and all the qualities he just couldn't Have for himself no matter how smart he thought he was? Not a very smart man at all. Come to think of it
Those men were full of it and I am quite sure that some of those men had the Beauty icon in their bedroom. Hollywood used her up and they passed her around to different men. The only man the truly loved her was the Baseball Played Mr.Joe Dimaggio he even paid for her Funeral and he kept those Hollywood people away from there. RIP to both of them and I believed that they really did loved one another.
Sure, someone who loves you will tell you you can’t have a career of your own even after meeting you long after you’ve established one and we’re thriving. They’ll also beat you and stalk you. Let’s not romanticize jealousy and abusiveness just cause he paid for a funeral and sent some flowers lmao.
Ben Lyon's memory is a bit faulty because he met Marilyn in July of 1946 when she had already turned 20 at the very beginning of the previous month(June 1, 1946), not 22 as he stated here in this 45 year old documentary. She was already modeling when she went into film work at the time she did a film test for 20th Century-Fox.
I find it hard to listen to and look at Tony Curtis here- for one, emulating Cary Grant, an actor I liked, and secondly for the disparaging things he later said about Marilyn.
I like this and anything made only 10 years after her death its the truth as more years went by made up stories are now being believed as fact. By some not by me haha Inez Melson was Mm's buisiness manager& stated Marilyn never visited her mother bc it was to hard on both of them. But in recent movies they had a relationship. No they didnt.
I read or heard somewhere recently in one of the docs on her that she secretly feared she would wind up like her mother and was afraid she would go insane.
Es muy fácil hacer leña del árbol caído pero lo que podrán es destruir lo que ella se ganó con gran esfuerzo y una belleza cautivadora sin parangón fue como un ángel 😇 que pasó por el mundo iluminando y regalándonos momentos inolvidables en el imaginaro de los mortales y lo seguirá haciendo por el resto de los tiempos gracias Marilyn monroe por alegrar nuestras vidas con tu presencia love forever Marilyn 💋💕💞💕💕💓💗💖❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️❤️🧡💕🩷❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋
Love these comments, but especially what Lee Strasberg has to say: that she was one of the two or three most sensitive actors he had met. Very very good to hear him say this in an admiring way.
Maristella she practically lived with him and his family. His daughter always saw MM as a sister, they were close. He was one of the few that saw what an incredible actress she was and the potential she had. Unfortunately, Hollywood only wanted to portray her as a dumb blonde, that's how they made money off her.
Marilyn was just so special and sweet, sadly she had no real guidance from a mother and a good father, and no real home or room of her own as a child this has got to effect ones self esteem even though she was very talented and stunningly gorgeous she sadly missed out on the basics as a child. Maybe this was why she was so driven as an adult to be the very best she could be. She certainly succeeded 100 percent. Only given 36 years. She was unforgettable and amazingly beautiful. Everyone knows who she was. I just love her💝💝💝 Rest In Peace Honey there was only ONE Marilyn Monroe!💋💋💋
If you mean that kook, Jeannie Carmen, she is a fraud. I've read several biographies of MM & Carmen was not known by friends who were interviewed for the books.
Well, we don't know those men's genders, so we don't know how close they were with her. Just because someone's a woman doesn't mean they're pro women, or a decent friend to another woman
This woman can't do no wrong in my eyes I love her so much I believe bc she was so beautiful had the look many wanted and couldn't pull off and ofc bc she was very misunderstood yet whatever it was put out she overcame it 🙏
Yes he seem to have been the best Husband looking out for her and he definitely did love her. They loved one another but once again Hollywood destroyed their marriage. He paid for her Funeral and he kept those Hollywood directors,Actors and Actress away from her Funeral. Because he knew that those people just took advantage of her. The only people who were allowed to attend were closed family members of Marilyn Monroeruclips.net/video/cCoMZdaArFM/видео.html.
I read somewhere that they were planning on getting remarried only 4 days after the day she died. That would explain why he was in charge of her funeral and why he had fresh flowers delivered to her resting plot every week until he died.... they had remained close even after their divorce
I hate that Marilyn, did not have a room mate! Someone to look out for her! It is tough, on single women living alone! If those walls could talk! They would disclose the truth! The Del Coronado, is where she filmed, "Some Like It Hot!" I have watched it hundreds of times!! She was not only beautiful, she was a comedienne! R.I.P. Dear Marilyn! You are missed! 😚❤😢
A lot of people don't have anyone to look out for them. Guys as much as girls. If she'd wanted a room mate shed have had one. And even if she had had one, they wouldn't have gone to bed with her. And if a person is a real bad addict, no other person can ever fix that.
+Ann Nee She may have taken pills; but there was no pills or meds found in her stomach! True, everyone needs to be looked after! Society, is a cruel place! Just having a trusting person, in the home and a security system, would have been nice! She didn't kill herself! Just sayin'! 😒
Ann Nee, I think Cecilie M mean that she wished Marilyn had a roommate long before the night of her death, a female friend. Marilyn had Jane Russell as a good friend, but after the movie, they were both busy, which is what happens in real life. Jane Russell is the only female who doesn't trash Marilyn. THE ONLY ONE. PERIOD.
she gave up her hubby and babies to gain the whole world..i learned from her... once i realized i had her lil petite look caramelized and wit..I stayed close to Father...she was like trying to pick up a fragile butterfly can't be handled by too many...
So she comes into this guy’s office with no appointment and next thing you know, he is already thinking of a new name for her career? Wow. Would be interesting to know if he Harvey Weinsteined her in the process. He didn’t risk anything at the time. It was common place in Hollywood.
Her first husband did her a great favor. Also, I know a lot of people don’t care what the Bible says, but according TO THE BIBLE, he was and STILL IS (until he dies) her ONLY HUSBAND! According to the Bible if you marry and then divorce, as long as your spouse is still alive they are still considered your ONLY SPOUSE! Although I do know and believe in divorce, this is true.
Have just finished watching every Monroe film available on streaning services and think she was wonderful. Some I've watched numerous times. Could not agree more with all the positive comments below. Such a talent and childlike innocence. Sad life. The Marilyn Monroe she created was a triumph over adversity and continues to to bring joy to her many fans. "The Seven-Year Itch" is disappointing. She's wonderful but the script is dated. Pity she never knew how much she was loved by those who really knew her. "My Week With Mailyn" in worth a look - takes place in England during the making of "The Prince and the Showgirl". Possibly the closest to the real person.
i was born november 17 same day as lee took acting lessons barron weist ryan ny la and atlantic city. wow acting classes. oh no, teacher was teen who ran away lee met her nyc eventually saw her talent she worked in AC 35 yrs now pleasantville nj - shes back in nyc but was in classes with mm prebus stop. i gave her MM books fom uk and will acting spoil MM from 1950s with direct quotes. teacher was impressed cuz i had brought book how to write like chekhov- took on her vacation. learned a ton. if you tell me about conversations 3 sentences will take you to lunch.never spoke. pre bus stop filming. she kept herself in a corner sort of hiding but when called to perform was great.
Would Marilyn Monroe or James Dean be the person we know today if they didn't die tragically young. Most definitely not. Just can't help to feel sorry and wished they lived to be a 100.
blackattackcat He was her first husband that married her when she was 16. He only knew “Norma Jean” because Marilyn was a character that Norma Jean portrayed. Marilyn wasn’t “real”. She herself would speak of Marilyn in the third person. Sometimes, I think that’s what confused her psyche & drove her mad.
R G He was a photographer on the set of “Something’s Gotta Give”. He’s the one who took the pictures of her during the nude scene. I don’t understand the disdain for him. He may not have known her like her good friends did but at least he was respectful towards her. Nobody is more of a con than Jeanne Carmen & Robert Slatzer. They are literally the two biggest con artists in Marilyn history. Every time I see them on any documentary, I know it’s a lie.
Her personal life is heartbreaking tale. So saddenning that she died at age 36, with suspicious circumstan ces. Was it medical accident?? Or medical situation was created, to murder her. Either way is very tragic. It was not suicide. She had resolved her legsl case with Fox studios, and was upbeat to return to work. Her doctor is describing her manic-depressive. But then why she was on barbiturates only, not on antidepressent and mood stabilizers I guess in 1962, tricyclic anti depres sants were snd and Lithium were available????
John H....that a more professional actress could not do?? He's a shit. She was working longer than him, I tend to believe everyone blamed her for the movie problems when it was actually JH gambling the movie money? could be. everyone blamed her BS
He didn't say "more professional" he said "professional" which makes zero things. I don't think he meant it in a derogatory way, just that she had something you couldn't acquire by work.
Why does John Huston sound like he is reciting a soliloquy of an Act from Hamlet when he is just trying to tell you about something....Christ sake man, spit it out and stop leaving us in suspense by puffing on that HUGE cigar in between telling us about Marilyn...
It was his personality. He was an actor and director and very good at both. Shakesperian voices are a class act and rare nowadays but back then we had plenty of them.
Nice to realize there are some good up-keeps. Keep up the good works. Verbiage reflects the man talking too. One clue is to realize that good spa resorts should give cheerful, smooth, and relaxing feelings. Some men do not realize that height of hygiene standards or charm standards. Clark Gable should not have been made so rough. Child-like "gigles" at the pool? More like the sense that some men do not take that state of cleansing feeling. Big females of wonder do. Hopes that those who compiled these memories go on to greater heights into the future. Much good lucks to you and yours. Life does go on after all....end is only a kind of another beginning.
Mr. Butterworth, I agree completely. Missditabomb, I believe you're mistaken in a way, no offense to you. There is no proof by example, but as an example, I was a hot chick when I was younger and at the same time a competitive academic achiever, honors, advanced placement, University Honors Program, Dean's List, anything you can think of, 2 jobs while in high school, 1 job while in college full-time at college age. All I REALLY wanted was to live my life and be accepted and do what my parents wanted as far as education and have a boyfriend (my choice, not my parents') and friends. I was a hot chick then, and was an overachiever. I thought that those 2 things were the only things that mattered. Now I'm older (almost 52). Being a hot chick doesn't matter to me. People like me or not. Being an overachiever doesn't matter to me. A lot of times, my slacker/incompetent coworkers got promoted ahead of me. Like they say, it's not what you know, it's who you know. I think Marilyn was transitioning likewise. I think she would have enjoyed passing the torch to younger hot chicks and been satisfied that she was number one in her day. I think she would have enjoyed being in her forties and fifties and what goes with it. Of course, her sixties, seventies, eighties, etc. She had already made her place in the world, and no one could take that away just because she was aging like everyone else. I think she would have moved on to writing, directing, or something else that comes after starring/acting and been happy about it. I think she would have enjoyed her life, finally, when things started to slow down. SHE DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE ENJOYED WATCHING ELIZABETH TAYLOR GET FAT AND OLDER. Her nemesis. I think she would have been satisfied with her many achievements and finally started just living her life. Just my opinion. (Because I'm the same way, just in a different field and different childhood, which matters a lot, but if you're the youngest, you might as well be an orphan if you're a daughter. Those were the times then. For her, it started in 1926; for me, it started in the sixties. Girls were expected to be academic achievers so that they could get married and be housewives. I'm talking about my generation, not Marilyn's. Hers was even worse.) So you have to put things in context of the times, always. You have to consider that it's 1942. You have to consider that it's the middle of World War II. After World War II, women were supposed to know their place. You just have to keep the times in consideration. For me, it was the sixties, seventies, eighties, etc. Women had a place, and it kept changing. Anyway, finally, I think she would have aged happily at a certain point and just started enjoying life. It sure would have been nice for her and everyone.

What makes Marilyn Monroe a sadder mystery is the fact that nobody truly knows what happened the night she died, I would love to hear more stories of her! They're so fascinating!
Hmm unless someone dies with at least three people present no one ever knows what happened. That's not mysterious at all. It's normal.
I believe she was murdered, but that's just my opinion.

Very interesting documentary . Lovely to hear great directors like Joshua Logan and John Huston say Marilyn was a wonderful actress . Really interesting also to hear what her makeup man and masseur had to say . Thanks for uploading
It’s interesting to note - and comforting, that fame didn’t mean much to Marilyn ultimately, once she had finally experienced it. She knew it for what it is, as she revealed in her final interview, in her acknowledgement of how fame is fickle. And if it ever left her, then so long, she’s had it, but it’s not where she lives. That kind of pragmatism would have served her well in other areas of her life.
I think in the end, it wasn’t even the fame she wanted, because she had attained it. But self-improvement, and the love that comes with being satisfied. The kind of love one can give only to themselves, I believe was the key she really sought.
Insecurity, and the belief that, despite our successes, we somehow don’t measure up can be debilitating to many areas of life. I wish only that dear Marilyn had been given longer than 36 years to find her peace.
Fascinating documentary with many coworkers who knew her personally. Just that one night, nobody was there to help her. Damn everything, I could weep!
Right. You nailed it! 🙄
The ppl she trusted were in on it..
I worked for a retired F.b.i agent who was working at the time of Marilyn's passing, he told me "The Kennedys had their hands in it," I believe that as well.
There's some real quality things said of Marilyn here. I hope she hears them in her heart x.x.x.
Wayyyy too late
Marilyn Monroe: 10 years On. (1972 Rare Documentary)
Documentary with Rare interviews with people that knew Marilyn Monroe such as Ralph Roberts(massage man) and Allan Snyder(Makeup man) Jim Dougherty(first husband)
There is so much garbage out there that people made up about Marilyn. I am so glad you only used people that actually interacted with her. Good job!
Her tragic end reminds me somewhat of Janis Joplins story...both of them were chasing love and acceptance, so very sad. But I don't believe for one second that MM committed suicide, I believe she was murdered.
@@engraftedwordministriesari2769 same was said about JJ.
GREAT DOCUMENTARY !!! ' LOTS LOVE TO OUR MARILYN ALWAYS !!!
*** THANK YOU !!!
If Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby could get away what they have gotten away with, imagine what Marilyn, and the women of that day went through? Those poor women must have dealt with the nastiest, dirtiest, filthiest assholes. RIP to all the women exploited by awful jerks. They had no one to help them back then. So tragic.
Arthur Freed pulled his penis out towards an innocent Shirley Temple when she was 12! Makes me angry and very sick.
It answers A LOT of questions why so many actresses ended up with so many substance abuse problems. Ava Gardner, Judy Garland, Liz Taylor, Rita Hayworth, Lana Turner, Veronica Lake, Linda Darnell, Natalie Wood and on and on and on...
Every single studio was pulling this shit all the way at the top! Few actresses were exempt. Some married very young and were, as a result, "protected". It's possible that the very top 1% may have been immune to the sexual advanced due to their rare beauty. Women such as Greta Garbo or Hedy Lamarr.
Never saw Ralph Roberts before. He seemed like a nice guy. All decent people here who knew her well. Thanks for sharing!
@Tony From Coney,
Ralph, (Rafe to Marilyn!), Roberts really loved her. They were like brother and sister, but I think the relationship went over the line a few times. When Marilyn was at her worst, she was truly pathetic and anyone who loved her would do anything to get her out of that. To show love, Marilyn thought that giving her body, and having someone give theirs to her, was the greatest gift, MEDICINE, an affirmation and a boost to her always fragile ego and self-confidence.
What an excellent documentary!!
i lived across the street from Hollygrove Orphanage on el centro in LA....where she had lived.
we sat on the lawn she played on....sacred ground.
bless u honey
i treasure our memories.
teenie beenie so you knew her ?? or u just live across the orphange ?
She just sat on the lawn she once played on, is what she said. Some connection there I suppose she thinks!
That's cool. Did you know that the original building that Norma Jeane lived in on that property was torn down and a newer building was put up in it's place? Yep.
It's a newer building on the property now, same location.
It would be nice in honor of her to donate to orphans
Until internet, I did not know how wonderful Marilyn Monroe was as first, a really sweet kind human being, then an actress, and she could sing very well. I was born in 54, my parents were not necessarily movie goers so I did not know much about her as a kid. I knew my uncle had a pin up of her hanging in his rock shop. I remember admiring that pin up as a kid. I feel she was murdered. How sad when all she wanted was love and a family.
That's so true
Intoxicating song by Our
Precious Marilyn Monroe. God I love her, her gentleness, kindness, her honesty her beautiful self.
It is AMAZING that Marilyn could manage all of the dance sequences in her movies. She had Meniere's Disease, an inner ear disorder that causes vertigo and dizzy spells. Marilyn didn't even know it, and she did all of those complicated dance routines IN SPITE OF IT, and with her not KNOWING. That woman was a trouper!!! (And a great dancer!!)
Where the hell did you hear that? Never once have i heard that and ive done alot of research on her
@@ellemathews9840 In books I have read, but you can Google, "did MM have Meniere's Disease?", and it should come up.
@@ellemathews9840 P.S.: It was in her medical records.
Thanks for the upload!
22:10 - 22:15 - disgraceful. I and any human being would rather see her alive, growing old, experiencing more of life. So what if her beauty fade over the years? She could have been successful as an actress maybe get the roles she wanted , could have enjoyed her new home, maybe have a stable marriage now that she wasn't the "Sex Goddess", maybe have a child or adopt a child. So many things. Even simple quite life. How can anyone say "it's better she died young (murdered rather) so we can remember her that way". What a selfish point of view.
16:37 Six o' clock at night and ten o' clock in the evening.
Very good documentary. It's good to hear from those who knew her first-hand and who speak well of her, and it was only a decade after she passed , so it wasn't that long after.
She was way before my time. she's just adorable
Brianna Watkins Ahead of time you mean.
@Brianna Watkins,,
Marilyn was WAY ahead of her time!! And it is nice that younger fans such as yourself keep Marilyn alive in people's minds. Marilyn was so terrified of being alone and forgotten. She never really felt she meant anything. She always felt worthless. She had a terrible life. She had joy, but it never lasted long. Her fear and unhappiness always took her joy and confidence away.
Yes, they got the best here. That closing scene...............whoa!!!!
I would love to have met her. You were so lucky. Do you know if she wore Chanel no 5 everyday? I sympathise with her life story and yet what an enigma she was. ❤❤
This was amazing. Thank you 🙏
What a great video! :) Keep up the good content ;) Hugs xoxox
How any of the "men" in this video can have the audacity to "compare" her to other actresses is so laughable. Marilyn was miles high, ahead of her time. Hollywood at that time wasn't smart enough to "file" / control her. I wish she left LA and did more theater in NY. She would've come more circle, but she was already so entrenched in pills and the machine. Hollywood killed her. Her death is one big complete unfathomable heartache to anyone who "got" her.

@@khalednasrallah3119 Perhaps - but many who knew her think she lost track of what she had taken.
@@kevinbuckley7705m
I just had started school at this time. Amazing how young people from old Hollywood still were! The problem with Marilyn is the problem anyone has in life when they have psychological issues. You can do this or that, but it's always there like a dark cloud. It only dissipates at the cemetery.
Excellent. This is the first footage of Whitey speaking at length I’ve ever seen. I don’t think anyone knew her better than Whitey.
Her story was not as tragic as people paint it to be, hearing directly from the people who knows her personally her story was more like a normal human being going through a hard time but hers was in front of the camera.
That's true. People like to believe in these kinds of myths. Reminds me of how people always say that any Edward Hopper painting is a depiction of loneliness and how he himself once said that people interpreted loneliness in his paintings where he hadn't intended any.
Whoever murdered Marilyn Monroe was not as worthy to live as Marilyn. She was a kind, loving person; and, feared nobody, because of her kind nature.
Marilyn was not murdered.
We'll never know for sure.
yes she was murdered.. by doctor Greenson and her housekeeper... i recommend a book by Daniel Spoto ;)
verkulka Donald Spoto
No one murdered Marilyn.
1962 feels like a complete other era…what surprises me in a bizarre way is how recent 1972 feels. Marilyn is now a historical figure who seems untouchable to the observer. It’s just crazy to me how recent it really is when you put it into perspective.
My does John Huston have a fine, resonant voice.

@@pleaselistenbeforeyouspeak3086Norma Jean would be the real person in heaven. MM was her role. The actual person is NJ.
poor sweet soul GOD BLESS her
She is the sweetest human and most beautiful inside and out and her beauty surpasses today and I just love her ♥️ My first picture to see Marylyn Monroe I saw Gentleman Prefer Blondes and I thought what a beautiful Doll she and Mrs.Russell performance was spectacular and brilliant ♥️🤓
Thank you MM History.
Marylyn Monroe was a Beautiful, Talented, SMART, INTELLIGENT, misunderstood Woman!! She wasn’t “A DUMB BLOND” as they made her portray in the Movies! They, the studios and men in her life, took advantage of her, and used her for their own personal and financial gain!! She just wanted to be loved, unconditionally, for who she truly was, and be understood, and excepted! I absolutely adore her and find her fascinating!!
Very sad ending when her crypt was showing...
wonderful...
Mickey Rooney claims to have given Marilyn her new Hollywood name. That little old dwarf is as senile as they come.
Lol...you said it so funny!
@@lauralaura2293 Yep - the biggest mystery is why he ever became a star, he's ugly & useless. Luckiest dwarf ever!
@@glamdolly30 yeah and he was married to Ava Gardner
what the hell did she see in him
@@peterm1826 God knows - he was ugly and without charisma his whole life! I guess the answer must be success, because against all the odds he was very successful - and his inexplicable confidence made him believe he could marry a knockout woman like Ava Gardner.
He was a walking advert for the power of positive thinking - because he achieved many things that seem utterly impossible, never mind improbable, when you look at him. A successful movie star, fabulously rich, a big house and flashy car, a movie goddess for a wife, etc etc. Who woulda thought it?!
My Gran once told me a little poem on the subject of positive thinking that I've never forgotten:
"What the mind can conceive and believe, It can achieve".
@@glamdolly30 so much for positive thinking look were he ended up in a nursing home being abused by staff member and only $20,000 left to his name not to mention family fighting over whats left of his estate he must of stopped thinking for a moment
Well done for getting where she got in her short life ❤️🌹❤️
There's really only a handful of Documentaries on Marilyn that are good. There is a few that are heavy on the Kennedys and the Mafia. Stay away from those.
"The Legend of Marilyn Monroe" with John Huston narrating
"Something's Got To Give" done in 1990 originally.
"Marilyn Monroe: The Final Days"
"Marilyn Monroe: The Mortal Goddess"
The very first documentary done on Marilyn was in October 1962. It was black and white and very short. I used to have the VHS on it, but honestly I wouldn't call it a good one. It didn't cover a good portion of what went on in her life.
A beautiful and sensitive soul
Great documentary. She told Dr Greenson she was going to do one film a year and do theatre instead the rest of the time. Sad that when she had a future planned it all ended.
She was a Gemini ! That accounts for her energy and spontaneity. I love her!
بماذا يتميز هذا البرج؟
Dougherty seems like a decent enough guy. Joe had issues but also proved himself to be a decent guy. Miller...?!
Miller fell for her screen persona & couldn't cope with her real off screen personality & insecurities. (According to John Huston her last Director).
Ann Nee & Sarah holland:
Miller was bowled over by her. He had a really drab life and Marilyn had an aura of sensuality, innocence and an intellect that interested people. Sadly, she was also not well physically or psychologically for most of her adult life and that made Miller come to DESPISE her. Miller was another one of the users. She thought he would "save" her but he was so cold. I don't think he ever really loved anyone. He made very little money during their marriage and Marilyn supported HIM. She paid his alimony, paid his lawyers, paid the rent, paid for renovations to the Connecticut farm, paid for a vehicle he had shipped over from England~~~she paid for EVERYTHING. He liked basking in her glow, but he was a terrible husband. Shortly before their marriage, Miller had said that he would write and support her and she could rest and get herself straightened out, but he never made more than a pittance, so he told Marilyn she HAD to work. It was a great disappointment to her. She thought she would rest and get well and have a child, but she was making a movie within three months of the marriage. He was one cold and selfish s.o.b.. Poor Marilyn. She always put her HOPE in the wrong places and with the wrong people. Miller was toxic for her and he USED her.
Miller was an atheist.
@@MissditabombYou're 100% correct. In addition, doesn't it seem that Miller was always just a little jealous and resentful of her success, poise, charm, and all the qualities he just couldn't Have for himself no matter how smart he thought he was? Not a very smart man at all. Come to think of it
In that last scene, they let Marilyn to have multiple times of "re taking the scene"... The director and other crew enjoyed watching her body
Those men were full of it and I am quite sure that some of those men had the Beauty icon in their bedroom. Hollywood used her up and they passed her around to different men. The only man the truly loved her was the Baseball Played Mr.Joe Dimaggio he even paid for her Funeral and he kept those Hollywood people away from there. RIP to both of them and I believed that they really did loved one another.
Sure, someone who loves you will tell you you can’t have a career of your own even after meeting you long after you’ve established one and we’re thriving. They’ll also beat you and stalk you. Let’s not romanticize jealousy and abusiveness just cause he paid for a funeral and sent some flowers lmao.
Ben Lyon's memory is a bit faulty because he met Marilyn in July of 1946 when she had already turned 20 at the very beginning of the previous month(June 1, 1946), not 22 as he stated here in this 45 year old documentary. She was already modeling when she went into film work at the time she did a film test for 20th Century-Fox.
I find it hard to listen to and look at Tony Curtis here- for one, emulating Cary Grant, an actor I liked, and secondly for the disparaging things he later said about Marilyn.
Ralph Roberts seems like such a lovely man
I like this and anything made only 10 years after her death its the truth as more years went by made up stories are now being believed as fact. By some not by me haha Inez Melson was Mm's buisiness manager& stated Marilyn never visited her mother bc it was to hard on both of them. But in recent movies they had a relationship. No they didnt.
I think there are some photos with her mom but that doesn't mean they were close. I feel like MM tried but her mom is crazy
I read or heard somewhere recently in one of the docs on her that she secretly feared she would wind up like her mother and was afraid she would go insane.
Holly Martinson yes i know that. Her mother was “ religious “& didn’t approve of the movie buisiness MM was in . Hence the added tension. Many im sure
Agree
Erica yeh possible
Fascinating, thank you !
Es muy fácil hacer leña del árbol caído pero lo que podrán es destruir lo que ella se ganó con gran esfuerzo y una belleza cautivadora sin parangón fue como un ángel 😇 que pasó por el mundo iluminando y regalándonos momentos inolvidables en el imaginaro de los mortales y lo seguirá haciendo por el resto de los tiempos gracias Marilyn monroe por alegrar nuestras vidas con tu presencia love forever Marilyn 💋💕💞💕💕💓💗💖❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️❤️🧡💕🩷❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋
Axlerod is talking out his ass. Josh Logan understood what was going on, regards Marilyn and script.
Love these comments, but especially what Lee Strasberg has to say: that she was one of the two or three most sensitive actors he had met. Very very good to hear him say this in an admiring way.
Maristella she practically lived with him and his family. His daughter always saw MM as a sister, they were close. He was one of the few that saw what an incredible actress she was and the potential she had. Unfortunately, Hollywood only wanted to portray her as a dumb blonde, that's how they made money off her.
Maristella he was asshole ! He destroyed Marilyn. His family use her till now.
Maristella porn star
LivingTheSaltLife unrealized potential nothing but a bimbo no class
@@Charity-vm4bt You have no idea of what you are talking about. Bimbo onscreen but definitely not off-screen. It was a total act.
To think if Marilyn went to W. Virginia we might have never had a Marilyn Monroe
She did the best southern accent I just loved her in
Bus stop"
Her accent was ridiculous, I know people from the Ozarks (where her character was supposedly from) none of them speak like that.
Marilyn was just so special and sweet, sadly she had no real guidance from a mother and a good father, and no real home or room of her own as a child this has got to effect ones self esteem even though she was very talented and stunningly gorgeous she sadly missed out on the basics as a child. Maybe this was why she was so driven as an adult to be the very best she could be. She certainly succeeded 100 percent. Only given 36 years. She was unforgettable and amazingly beautiful. Everyone knows who she was. I just love her💝💝💝 Rest In Peace Honey there was only ONE Marilyn Monroe!💋💋💋
Some of the things that George Axelrod said about her come across as predatory.
Too many men talking about her. Bunch of sexpots. Her female neighbor really knew her. Men didn't really know her.
If you mean that kook, Jeannie Carmen, she is a fraud. I've read several biographies of MM & Carmen was not known by friends who were interviewed for the books.
Well, we don't know those men's genders, so we don't know how close they were with her. Just because someone's a woman doesn't mean they're pro women, or a decent friend to another woman
wonderful!!
MARILYN I will love you till the END.
So many used and abused her.
Because she let them
Sweet soul love you forever Marilyn Monroe ❤️💋🌹🌹🌹
This woman can't do no wrong in my eyes I love her so much I believe bc she was so beautiful had the look many wanted and couldn't pull off and ofc bc she was very misunderstood yet whatever it was put out she overcame it 🙏
I wish Marilyn and Joe had worked out 😐
Elaine Bines me too lol I was thinking 🤔 the same thing this morning
Elaine, me too!! We would be talking about their kids and grandkids, by now!! 🌝
Yes he seem to have been the best Husband looking out for her and he definitely did love her. They loved one another but once again Hollywood destroyed their marriage. He paid for her Funeral and he kept those Hollywood directors,Actors and Actress away from her Funeral. Because he knew that those people just took advantage of her. The only people who were allowed to attend were closed family members of Marilyn Monroeruclips.net/video/cCoMZdaArFM/видео.html.
Last Days thank you for the link ⚘
I read somewhere that they were planning on getting remarried only 4 days after the day she died. That would explain why he was in charge of her funeral and why he had fresh flowers delivered to her resting plot every week until he died.... they had remained close even after their divorce
I hate that Marilyn, did not have a room mate! Someone to look out for her! It is tough, on single women living alone! If those walls could talk! They would disclose the truth! The Del Coronado, is where she filmed, "Some Like It Hot!" I have watched it hundreds of times!! She was not only beautiful, she was a comedienne! R.I.P. Dear Marilyn! You are missed! 😚❤😢
A lot of people don't have anyone to look out for them. Guys as much as girls. If she'd wanted a room mate shed have had one. And even if she had had one, they wouldn't have gone to bed with her. And if a person is a real bad addict, no other person can ever fix that.
+Ann Nee She may have taken pills; but there was no pills or meds found in her stomach! True, everyone needs to be looked after! Society, is a cruel place! Just having a trusting person, in the home and a security system, would have been nice! She didn't kill herself! Just sayin'! 😒
Ann Nee, I think Cecilie M mean that she wished Marilyn had a roommate long before the night of her death, a female friend. Marilyn had Jane Russell as a good friend, but after the movie, they were both busy, which is what happens in real life. Jane Russell is the only female who doesn't trash Marilyn. THE ONLY ONE. PERIOD.
Marilyn Monroe: 55 years on
What was the movie at the end, The one where she ended up conversing with the newspaper guy while playing volleyball?
Some Like It Hot.
she gave up her hubby and babies to gain the whole world..i learned from her... once i realized i had her lil petite look caramelized and wit..I stayed close to Father...she was like trying to pick up a fragile butterfly can't be handled by too many...
So she comes into this guy’s office with no appointment and next thing you know, he is already thinking of a new name for her career? Wow. Would be interesting to know if he Harvey Weinsteined her in the process. He didn’t risk anything at the time. It was common place in Hollywood.
Her first husband did her a great favor. Also, I know a lot of people don’t care what the Bible says, but according TO THE BIBLE, he was and STILL IS (until he dies) her ONLY HUSBAND! According to the Bible if you marry and then divorce, as long as your spouse is still alive they are still considered your ONLY SPOUSE! Although I do know and believe in divorce, this is true.
Have just finished watching every Monroe film available on streaning services and think she was wonderful. Some I've watched numerous times. Could not agree more with all the positive comments below. Such a talent and childlike innocence. Sad life. The Marilyn Monroe she created was a triumph over adversity and continues to to bring joy to her many fans. "The Seven-Year Itch" is disappointing. She's wonderful but the script is dated. Pity she never knew how much she was loved by those who really knew her. "My Week With Mailyn" in worth a look - takes place in England during the making of "The Prince and the Showgirl". Possibly the closest to the real person.
Even though I would have liked to have seen Marilyn Monroe in person and kind of glad I wasn't alive in this time surrounding by all these misogynists
i was born november 17 same day as lee took acting lessons barron weist ryan ny la and atlantic city. wow acting classes. oh no, teacher was teen who ran away lee met her nyc eventually saw her talent she worked in AC 35 yrs now pleasantville nj - shes back in nyc but was in classes with mm prebus stop. i gave her MM books fom uk and will acting spoil MM from 1950s with direct quotes. teacher was impressed cuz i had brought book how to write like chekhov- took on her vacation. learned a ton. if you tell me about conversations 3 sentences will take you to lunch.never spoke. pre bus stop filming. she kept herself in a corner sort of hiding but when called to perform was great.
Britney Spears and Marilyn Monroe are the two women how are so similar and yet so apart. I'm forever fascinated by these two legendary women
Some of these men are so pompous and gross in the way that they talk about her.
MM..I LOVE HER :-)
An amazing career, cut way too short
Would Marilyn Monroe or James Dean be the person we know today if they didn't die tragically young. Most definitely not. Just can't help to feel sorry and wished they lived to be a 100.
Interesting that Jim Dougherty never met Marilyn Monroe.
blackattackcat He was her first husband that married her when she was 16. He only knew “Norma Jean” because Marilyn was a character that Norma Jean portrayed. Marilyn wasn’t “real”. She herself would speak of Marilyn in the third person. Sometimes, I think that’s what confused her psyche & drove her mad.
Reneé Amen 🙏🏼
Larry, (Lawrence), Schiller~~~Biggest NOBODY ever.
How sad he was one of the guards on duty for her movie premiere. Wonder if she knew he was there? Very sad for him.
R G He was a photographer on the set of “Something’s Gotta Give”. He’s the one who took the pictures of her during the nude scene. I don’t understand the disdain for him. He may not have known her like her good friends did but at least he was respectful towards her.
Nobody is more of a con than Jeanne Carmen & Robert Slatzer. They are literally the two biggest con artists in Marilyn history. Every time I see them on any documentary, I know it’s a lie.
RIP Engelschatz

Hey everybody 🐱 it's Jessica "Boop boop" Monroe 💜
I curse the photographers who photographed her dead body at the morgue, so disrespectful...

Her personal life is heartbreaking tale. So saddenning that she died at age 36, with suspicious circumstan ces. Was it medical accident?? Or medical situation was created, to murder her. Either way is very tragic. It was not suicide. She had resolved her legsl case with Fox studios, and was upbeat to return to work. Her doctor is describing her manic-depressive. But then why she was on barbiturates only, not on antidepressent and mood stabilizers I guess in 1962, tricyclic anti depres sants were snd and Lithium were available????
John H....that a more professional actress could not do?? He's a shit. She was working longer than him, I tend to believe everyone blamed her for the movie problems when it was actually JH gambling the movie money? could be. everyone blamed her BS
He didn't say "more professional" he said "professional" which makes zero things. I don't think he meant it in a derogatory way, just that she had something you couldn't acquire by work.
Eww so creepy lol that she had to kiss that guy
Why does John Huston sound like he is reciting a soliloquy of an Act from Hamlet when he is just trying to tell you about something....Christ sake man, spit it out and stop leaving us in suspense by puffing on that HUGE cigar in between telling us about Marilyn...

It was his personality. He was an actor and director and very good at both. Shakesperian voices are a class act and rare nowadays but back then we had plenty of them.
yes, Strasberg is remembered as a colossal creep.
That's what's happen when you have all
Nice to realize there are some good up-keeps. Keep up the good works. Verbiage reflects the man talking too. One clue is to realize that good spa resorts should give cheerful, smooth, and relaxing feelings. Some men do not realize that height of hygiene standards or charm standards. Clark Gable should not have been made so rough. Child-like "gigles" at the pool? More like the sense that some men do not take that state of cleansing feeling. Big females of wonder do. Hopes that those who compiled these memories go on to greater heights into the future. Much good lucks to you and yours. Life does go on after all....end is only a kind of another beginning.
Mr. Butterworth, I agree completely. Missditabomb, I believe you're mistaken in a way, no offense to you. There is no proof by example, but as an example, I was a hot chick when I was younger and at the same time a competitive academic achiever, honors, advanced placement, University Honors Program, Dean's List, anything you can think of, 2 jobs while in high school, 1 job while in college full-time at college age. All I REALLY wanted was to live my life and be accepted and do what my parents wanted as far as education and have a boyfriend (my choice, not my parents') and friends. I was a hot chick then, and was an overachiever. I thought that those 2 things were the only things that mattered. Now I'm older (almost 52). Being a hot chick doesn't matter to me. People like me or not. Being an overachiever doesn't matter to me. A lot of times, my slacker/incompetent coworkers got promoted ahead of me. Like they say, it's not what you know, it's who you know. I think Marilyn was transitioning likewise. I think she would have enjoyed passing the torch to younger hot chicks and been satisfied that she was number one in her day. I think she would have enjoyed being in her forties and fifties and what goes with it. Of course, her sixties, seventies, eighties, etc. She had already made her place in the world, and no one could take that away just because she was aging like everyone else. I think she would have moved on to writing, directing, or something else that comes after starring/acting and been happy about it. I think she would have enjoyed her life, finally, when things started to slow down. SHE DEFINITELY WOULD HAVE ENJOYED WATCHING ELIZABETH TAYLOR GET FAT AND OLDER. Her nemesis. I think she would have been satisfied with her many achievements and finally started just living her life. Just my opinion. (Because I'm the same way, just in a different field and different childhood, which matters a lot, but if you're the youngest, you might as well be an orphan if you're a daughter. Those were the times then. For her, it started in 1926; for me, it started in the sixties. Girls were expected to be academic achievers so that they could get married and be housewives. I'm talking about my generation, not Marilyn's. Hers was even worse.) So you have to put things in context of the times, always. You have to consider that it's 1942. You have to consider that it's the middle of World War II. After World War II, women were supposed to know their place. You just have to keep the times in consideration. For me, it was the sixties, seventies, eighties, etc. Women had a place, and it kept changing. Anyway, finally, I think she would have aged happily at a certain point and just started enjoying life. It sure would have been nice for her and everyone.
