And for "Bus Stop." She's wonderful in that. She did get a Golden Globe nomination for "Bus Stop" and won for "Some Like It Hot," but the Academy ignored her both times.
Yeah and Gentle Prefer Blondes same with Jane Russell in that “Picture” what they called Movies or Films in those days. Love that movie acting singing dancing a movie I would love to act in if I ever make it.
I think Jane Russell was right about Marilyn Monroe not having anyone to turn to. Just from this group alone, you see how fragmented their knowledge of her really is. Russell only knew her on the set of "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" and rarely spoke to her outside of that. Ditto for Donald O'Connor. It's weird. Curtis seems the most annoyed about her legendary status, but he also didn't really know her that well. Their co-star on "Some Like It Hot," Jack Lemmon was often asked about her as well. I would have liked to see interviews with people like Dean Martin, who said he wouldn't finish "Something's Gotta Give" without Monroe when the studio fired her.
I always thought about Marilyn she was a very famous actress who came to stardom without the tools to face that world, she was attached to that priviledge status and at the same time feeling detached or the urgent impulse to gain space from that. In my opinion she as a bird in a cage who seeks freedom but once you open that cage door it got no the courage to get out. Better staying in a conforting hell than going out to the unknown. From this interview I say I don't like very much Tony but I feel he's "almost and quite" even though not fully honest about her. I don't think she was an easy carachter, if you'd happened to be with her and share your life with her i do not think that caring for her would be a solving problem for her and your relation with her. She had too many ghosts in her head and not to forget in her genealogy family were too many suffering from mental issues and this is a point. However I hugely love Mrilyn.
YOu are SO RIGHT about everything that you say! Especially about Tony Curtis! That man was so bitter because Marilyn is legendary. Jane Russel had just met her on the set of a film. When she wasn't even THAT famous yet and she was basically on a new work place with strangers, so of course she would have been kind of shy. Making movies was very important to her and that made her anxious.
I don't think anybody knew who MM truly was. Even her first husband said in an interview that sometimes he "didn't recognize the girl". Her childhood shaped her adult life-- her classmates said she was a "loner" and friendships with her were "limited". Jane said you didn't become buddies with Marilyn. Jack Lemmon said if you tried to get close you "felt the curtain drop". One photographer said he couldn't say what she was like but could give his impressions of her. To me she was a very guarded person even before Hollywood. It's annoying when a dumb photographer who took a few pictures try to describe exactly who she was. But I think that's one reason why she's so fascinating. We all really want to know Norma Jean and never will LOL. Some people I would give money to talk about MM are her make up artist Whitey, Natasha Lytess, and Pat Newcomb.. but they're all gone now and took her secrets to the grave... respect.
@@CharlizeQuin : I don't anyone truly knows anyone. We get glimpses of someone's personality. Everyone has an inner self that is never fully revealed, not necessarily in a suspicious way. Just naturally, people have a different experience with each individual. So I think that, while she probably was guarded in a way, I think that she probably revealed parts of her personality to different people at various times. Those impressions can be valuable. We can only know the person presented to us in the moment.
Everyone of those people who were on larry King, accept for James Haspiel the biographer, he is still alive age 81. But the rest are all gone now. Jane Russell died in 2011 at age 89) Donald O, Conner died in 2003 at age,78) journalist Richard Meryman died in 2015 at age 88) Tony Curtis died in 2010 at age 85) producer David Brown died in 2010 at age,93) Photographer, who took her last photos George Barris died in 2016 at age 94) My they all RIP.
I think Tony had some unresolved thing with Marylin, not the first time I’ve seen him talk about her in this passive/aggressive way, disparaging and complimenting. I mean she was a human being with her imperfections no doubt like all of us really but this was meant to honour her extraordinary career, no need to trash her! Me thinks he was jealous of her success …or maybe she was the one who gave him the cold shoulder in the end, we’ll never know!
Marilyn had a tragic life, she was betrayed before the important age of 7 yrs old which shaped her psyche but she was courageous nonetheless. She forged ahead with what she had , her nebulous beauty. MM’s mother and particularly her foster mother Ida B did a number on her head those damn vipers! And to those men who used her to hell with them too!
I do think Jane Russell's experience working with Marilyn doesn't represent the Marilyn of the late '50s and early '60s. By then Marilyn became very insecure, distrustful, disillusioned, and very paranoid. Very sad. Jane was lucky she worked with Marilyn at a time before Hollywood destroyed her.
I'm only going to say that the wonderful Jamie Lee Curtis is nothing like her father. Jamie is a better actor by far & she's funny & very calm in interviews. As for a birthday special about a lady who had been dead for nearly 40 years, it seems everyone should have been uplifting about Monroe & not arrogant or arguing or pushing something like a book or saying what negative things the dead person might have done in her lifetime.

Marilyn Monroe - Larry King Live, 75th Birthday Special June 1st 2001 Marilyn footage and interviews with Jane Russell,Donald O'conner,George Barris, Richard Meryman, James Haspiel, Tony Curtis and David Brown
Tony is right all humans have flaws but MM always gave a great performance on the screen even though she had such bad professional habits. I love you always MM. MM should have a routine counseling for her pain. MM didn't have a family that was close to her but the world was her family.
I recall Tony many years ago, either on TV or in a magazine, saying that the reason he even made the comment that kissing Monroe was like kissing Hitler was because he thought that question from the reporter was so ridiculous to ask. He was like how do you think I felt kissing someone as amazing as Monroe. I just remember it was tony giving a sarcastic answer to a goofy question.
I think Tony Curtis definitely had some issues of his own,maybe a little resentment for Never receiving appreciation for his years as a talented actor on film that he felt deserved....
You need to be as tough as nails for the entertainment industry & Marilyn didn’t stand a chance god love her. She should have stayed well out of it but she didn’t get any guidance growing up. She will never be forgotten.
Because I think he was bitter that she didn’t reciprocate his advances. He had a huge ego, hence the horrific toupee. He looked like a flaming hairdresser.
Tony Curtis is honest, but quite possibly because of his blunt and black and white nature, so to speak, he didnt know Marilyn as well as others, and with his attitude, it seemed like he was quite capable of having said that about Marilyn, the Hitler quote. Though they all seem like nice people especialy her good friend who defended her passionately and Jane too.
+lewis berrie I think he had something against her, quite possibly he was rejected by her. Fell in love with her and was rejected. There was a time when she was alive that he had a huge, huge crush on her.
+A. Landon That could be true as well. Tony Curtis was a good looking man, but I suppose he mightve not been the well rounded articulate man MM was used to or looking for.
The Hitler quote has been misquoted and misused evers since it was uttered by Curtis. He actually did say it but as a joke, when a journalist asked him: "How does it feel to kiss Marilyn Monroe?" Because the question was so stupid, Curtis allegedly replied ironically: "How do you think it feels? Like kissing Hitler?" Take the question-mark away and the never mentioned fact that is was said ironically and you get a quote ... with a totally different meaning!
Tony so angry and bitter…. Jealous of Monroe superstar quality that he can’t seem to understand cause it comes from inner talent and not manufactured one like him… terrible man‼️ WONDERFUL MM
“What did she have to not be happy” she legit grew up in the foster care system where one of her foster brothers raped her and was so bad she married 16 just to avoid another 2 years in the system. Her grandmother tried to smother her with a pillow as a baby and both her grandmother and mother had mental health issues to the point they couldn’t care for her hence the foster system. She called one of them mama and one of the foster mothers told her as a little girl “I’m not your mama”. Fame and fortune doesn’t take away the pain hurt and trauma like that. Also Joe Dimagio beat her after the famous skirt blowing scene that led to a divorce. The Kennedy brothers claimed they’d leave their wives for her but lied every time. She went through a lot of stuff. I really wish she would’ve lived to be in this video of what would’ve been her 75th Birthday I will be 29 in June yet I know 36 is way to young to die. She was extremely talented and very mistreated by people especially while she was alive. Her work will live on forever.
When will this Kennedy stuff ever die? Yes, she maybe slept with JFK - but so did numerous women. Why do people assume that Marilyn fell in love with him or that he ever shared any crucial information with her? Ridiculous! They had sex and moved on.
dont forget what? this is so stupid. you're quoting a freaking fat sweaty stalker named robert slatzer who also said marilyn married him in 1952 and who none of her friends knew of. marilyn didnt talk to the press about any of her relationships. pick up an actual good book ffs.
I love Jane Russell her and Marilyn were iconic together in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and wish they would’ve been in more movies together their onscreen chemistry as best friends was so good. May both beauties RIP. Wish Marilyn Monroe was there to thank Jane Russell and to put Tony Curtis in his place for his disrespect.
I grew up w/ MM as a child. Is as said, in death like ELVIS AND MARILYN, their legacy becomes huge. As a mature woman, I only wish that MM had the things she needed to 'come more into her own' despite her commediene way and intelligence. She really had it in her, to do on and off cam. 36 is too friggin' young to ck out. I think in the early 50's, 60's they prescribed drugs stronger and less refined w/o question, for stars or anyone. Many have been taken off the market today. Whether she was murdered is still very very suspect in my mind, given the circumstances, and her instability and delusionary thinking about very powerful men, older men, she deemed may love her, and she was constantly craving, seeking, and only the camera and really great men, seemed to satiate her broken wings of childhood. I think she'd be better today born later, or if things weren't so controlled under studio contracts and the whims of those times. Actors can refuse parts today .. seems like just yesterday, when she died, even if I was so very very young. Ne'r forgotten.. we need to remember her very essence, heart and short lived little life, and her soul. RIP baby girl..
Dorie McKay I so agree with you. Back them. the kind of help that Marilyn needed did not exist back then. Even now it is still in its infancy, and unavailable to probably most who need it, The very fact that so many resonate with her, says to me that her inner struggles are carried by many. The "help" that she was getting was only harming her more. The man (I don.t remember who) described it well: others with their own individual motivations. just "wanted to keep her comfortable", so whatever they wanted accomplished could be. That psychiatrist of hers was a charlatan, absolutely unprofessional - the way he took her into his family, hired her "keeper" to have 24/7 control over her, was awful. He was never about her "coming into her own", as you described it; I think he was more about being her psychiatrist, and keeping her dependent on him. And it might not have been any different today....thinking of Michael Jackson as an example. The fact that she did as well as she did in the environment she lived in, with the huge disadvantage of her childhood (a critical factor in our ability to cope with life), is a testament to her strength, courage, and perseverance that she was able to find on her own.
akAsha6E6D Miller didn't love Marilyn, he was in lust with her and the persona. He viewed her as a kind of prize. He actually mocked her and made her out to be stupid to his friends. But just like everything in Marilyn's life, she tried so hard to make it work and was influenced by Arthur's political beliefs. Miller was a large contributing factor to Marilyn's own deep seated feeling of not being able to reach a state of true contentment and happiness. Millers influence on Marilyn's life was a negative one, a fact I shall never forget, nor forgive.
Miller didn't understand much about Marilyn other than treating her as a trophy. Miller was a heartless and thickheaded Leftist. Suffice to say I don't like him at all.... I actually blame him for what subsequently happened to Marilyn in the years after their split and the sad accident that was her death. Tony Curtis was right about some of the things he said... but Soooo wrong about other things he said. He never was a Lover to Marilyn btw... but Marilyn had a habit of not making it clear that there was no chance. It was easy for men to think that something was there between them, when there was not... There are not many that can see through the persona and look upon the person... the human inside... not unless she wanted you to... and when she presented herself as herself... there were not many that would recognize her either.... I miss her with all my heart and I always will until my last breath....
@@timrichmond5226 Actually I believe Miller loved MM but had a very hard time accepting her rejection when it was all over. Maybe his ego was bigger than hers. He was a writer and I think he expressed the truth but it is hard for the public to accept anything bad about MM who was sincerely loved by many.
The reason Marilyn Monroe is the icon she is now, after 50 years of her death it is because or fer charming. She had the ability to be sweet, innocent and sensual. Also could play dramatic characters as well. The only issue here is that she was hunted by the ghost of her looks (dont get me wrong, she was as beautiful as talented, but we cannot denied that a person independently if we talk about a woman or a man, will loose credibility because of his/her looks. They won't be appreciated more than a pretty face). If she was surrendered by the correct people she would've been a total different legend. But we can be sure she was a great actress since the few projects she was in became instantly classics.
Well then why didnt jane russell invite her to the beach house then??? Jane was very real and sincere and could have been her big sister. What a missed opportunity. Marilyn was and is the only celebrity loved by both men and women alike. She didnt commit suicide. She was killed.
Maybe she didn’t want John F. Kennedy. Peter Lawford looked way better and was more masculine and a bit like her ex the baseball player. I mean why else should she have called a married man elsewise.
That old screamer, Tony Curtis, definitely had problems. He pretty much projected everything he'd done and was embarrassed about onto Marilyn, which is the reason he was so hostile. He had stated in a few different interviews some years ago, something to the effect of, "I liked everybody. I didn't discriminate, if you know what I mean." He was on his knees, not Marilyn. His pitiful attempt to blame shift his perversions on Marilyn failed.
Steven Marilyn Monroe also slept with directors and movies stars too. She wasn't innocent. As much as I love her, come on she slept with all the top male actors and they used her, and left her and didn't give a shit about her, and she was only used by them for sex. Tony Curtis also had a sexual affair with Marilyn when they were younger. So he knows way more then us. Just because he bisexual and he said liked men and women didn't mean he was a pervert. just because he liked both sexes, Marilyn monroe was also was promiscuous. Every actor back then like Elvis and frank Sinatra banged every women they saw and slept around also, behide there wives back, so meny actors fucked every One....so don't just single out the iconic legendary Tony Curtis out because he didn't discriminate and loved men and women. Back then alot stars got on there knees for movies back then. But Tony has legitimate talent, and he was a extraordinary actor and iconic movie star. He definitely wasn't embarrassed, he has said I enjoyed it and had fun, and did it and experimented, and liked those fellas, but he liked WOMEN more and began dating women, he just couldn't stay faithful and he loved women to much, why the fuck would he care, she was a well known for being difficult to work with and he isn't the only actor and actress who has said that. You dont even know what that man went through in life to get to Hollywood...I recommend You watch his most revealing interview called "shrink " ruclips.net/video/x-3U8x-hGZc/видео.html
Why spew that garbage about Marilyn supposedly 'dropping to her knees' on a show that's expressly dedicated to honoring Monroe's 75th birthday? It's nasty and uncalled for, and it does nothing to move the occasion and interview in a positive direction. And if you believe Curtis had a sexual affair with Marilyn, you'll believe anything. Tony Curtis said it, so it must be true...right? He fabricated that story years later to save his reputation and ego. (Why not? She isn't around to deny it or defend herself) The harsh criticism he received after his 'hitler' comment followed him for years, and he was tired of the flack. So he fashioned a story about a relationship with Marilyn to mitigate that 'hitler' comment and, in his mind, make his remark permissible. And what do you know?.............He and Marilyn were suddenly sex partners. I suggest you watch several of his different interviews over the years and also read his printed interviews so that you can see how duplicitous he was and the ways in which he engineered his own truth.
Steven as a gay man I was more offended by your reference to him being perverted because he was with men....okay he mite of been sexually frustrated and confused and didn't accept his sexuality or he mite of been bisexual...but I'm gay and I was concerned because old relic conservatives used that word perverts as a anti-gay slur against us back in the day. He was young and he was more attracted to women, but he was with men in his youth...so that make him a pervert. He wasn't the only actor and actress to sleep around then and get on there knees for jobs, it was prevalent back then, A lot of actors like Elvis and Frank Sinatra and errol Flynn has sex with every women and had sex parties and orgies...they slept behide there wives back. I agree he was being very disrespectful during this interview and shouldn't be saying that during her 75th birthday celebration. But I thought you said he was pervert for being with men in his younger years, like if that's bad. He is a pervert in the way he talked about women and when he talked about his sexual conquest with women and said alot of nasty stuff about women, that he was perverted for....but being young in his early 20s he was having fun before fame. That's all I meant to say....But everyone was sexually active then, because you had perverted Hollywood producer's and agents, hollywood moguls who would only give aspiring actresses role for sexual favors back then. But Tony is a great actor and legend...mybe he had a affair with her, or Mybe he didn't who cares...he wasn't innocent. But he was being a nasty jerk in this particular interview.
@@robinhood6948 not difficult the answer, he was the tipical italian, I'm Italian too, they are jealous, self-centered, all bragging and jostling anybody around. Though not all italians are like that.
Tony Curtis is giving off vibes that he hit on her and she turned him down so even in death he’s gonna talk shit about her she was dead turning 39 years that August when this was filmed and still couldn’t help himself. Idk how he’s Jamie Lee Curtis father she is so nice and he is so rude and crass. Loved Jamie Lee Curtis growing up in Freaky Friday with teen star Lindsay Lohan and Christmas With The Kranks with Tim Allen. Idk why guys hit on girls then tear them to shreds if she doesn’t take his advances especially when said girl has been dead for almost 40 years by that point she was born in June and died in August so 1 year and 2 months after this filmed was 40 years of her death. Funny he didn’t shame the Kennedy brothers who were married yet still hoein around JFK having at least 12 other women besides Jackie his wife and Marilyn most of whom were foreign prostitutes but he’s a guy so it’s a ok.
Oh yes. She's still huge and like every other man that's been rejected he has an issue and he of course he's going to make a huge deal out of it but never admit to it.😂
I only have my opinion since I was a kid in her movie times and I never knew her , lol. I think she wanted love 💗 , she wanted marriage to an important rich man and or whom she could have a baby with !! She was forced to have a abortion and she lost her other pregnancies 🥺 !
He writes about it in his bio, they met when they first started in Hollywood. He talks about her sleeping around but he slept with every single starlet on every movie he worked on. He had like multiple divorces, women in every country.
His claim that he never said kissing her was kissing Hitler but he did and he himself says it in a few other videos plus it was said in front of Susan Strasberg and Jack Lemmon in dailies.
Also their lives kind of track with each other, I read a few bios, he was in an orphanage in NY and she was in one in LA. His parents were just as bad as her mom. Sorry this is long. I wanted to provide context. He was kinda of a jerk. I really like his acting but man a nasty guy.
Tony Curtis was a POS but ok.. what a selfish woman marilyn was.. she only risked her career and put all her money behind arthur miller when he was accused of being a commie. too bad she didn't stay with Joe Dimaggio and let him beat the dog s--t out of her some more, i mean what a incredibly selfish B*ITCH. Marilyn is such a great way of getting all the red flags out of people like you.
Marilyn should've been nominated for an Oscar for "Some Like It Hot". Very underrated performance when you watch it today.
And for "Bus Stop." She's wonderful in that. She did get a Golden Globe nomination for "Bus Stop" and won for "Some Like It Hot," but the Academy ignored her both times.
very
actually she's overrated
Marilyn was brilliant in Some Like it Hot. Should have won the Oscar I agree.
Yeah and Gentle Prefer Blondes same with Jane Russell in that “Picture” what they called Movies or Films in those days. Love that movie acting singing dancing a movie I would love to act in if I ever make it.

I would have liked to see interviews with people like Dean Martin, who said he wouldn't finish "Something's Gotta Give" without Monroe when the studio fired her.
I always thought about Marilyn she was a very famous actress who came to stardom without the tools to face that world, she was attached to that priviledge status and at the same time feeling detached or the urgent impulse to gain space from that. In my opinion she as a bird in a cage who seeks freedom but once you open that cage door it got no the courage to get out. Better staying in a conforting hell than going out to the unknown. From this interview I say I don't like very much Tony but I feel he's "almost and quite" even though not fully honest about her. I don't think she was an easy carachter, if you'd happened to be with her and share your life with her i do not think that caring for her would be a solving problem for her and your relation with her. She had too many ghosts in her head and not to forget in her genealogy family were too many suffering from mental issues and this is a point. However I hugely love Mrilyn.

All she ever wanted was someone to truly love her and see her Beyond the character she played of Marilyn 😔😔
she crested marilyn
created
Used and abused but didn't let that change her, tough as she is beautiful. You have nothing to prove ,love you Norma .
I think Tony had some unresolved thing with Marylin, not the first time I’ve seen him talk about her in this passive/aggressive way, disparaging and complimenting. I mean she was a human being with her imperfections no doubt like all of us really but this was meant to honour her extraordinary career, no need to trash her! Me thinks he was jealous of her success …or maybe she was the one who gave him the cold shoulder in the end, we’ll never know!
This interview is like Tony Curtis vs Everybody (except Donald and Jane)
Marilyn had a tragic life, she was betrayed before the important age of 7 yrs old which shaped her psyche but she was courageous nonetheless. She forged ahead with what she had , her nebulous beauty. MM’s mother and particularly her foster mother Ida B did a number on her head those damn vipers! And to those men who used her to hell with them too!
Sick and tired of interviewers (including Larry King) being extremely rude interrupting guests.
Tony was right about the Lee Strasberg’s - they used her for her money
Tony Curtis is being unneccesarily rude.He is entitled to his opinion but he could be respectful to the others involved.
I do think Jane Russell's experience working with Marilyn doesn't represent the Marilyn of the late '50s and early '60s. By then Marilyn became very insecure, distrustful, disillusioned, and very paranoid. Very sad. Jane was lucky she worked with Marilyn at a time before Hollywood destroyed her.
I would be too if the president and his brother which was a senator kept watching me all the time everything I did and they were not my husband.
I'm only going to say that the wonderful Jamie Lee Curtis is nothing like her father. Jamie is a better actor by far & she's funny & very calm in interviews.
As for a birthday special about a lady who had been dead for nearly 40 years, it seems everyone should have been uplifting about Monroe & not arrogant or arguing or pushing something like a book or saying what negative things the dead person might have done in her lifetime.

Marilyn footage and interviews with Jane Russell,Donald O'conner,George Barris, Richard Meryman, James Haspiel, Tony Curtis and David Brown
Ótimo!!!
I always wish they let George talk more on these shows, he has the best view of her last months and he is such a kind man.
+Badfingerbabe777 true! !!
she was great in the film niagara and the movie dont bother to knock i think she could have been succesful in other dramas also
Dont bother to knock is such a masterpiece 😍 i love that movie
Tony is right all humans have flaws but MM always gave a great performance on the screen even though she had such bad professional habits. I love you always MM. MM should have a routine counseling for her pain. MM didn't have a family that was close to her but the world was her family.
Her shrink killed her they claim
Tony Curtis admitted in the Some Like It hot DVD interview that he DID say that about Marilyn.
I recall Tony many years ago, either on TV or in a magazine, saying that the reason he even made the comment that kissing Monroe was like kissing Hitler was because he thought that question from the reporter was so ridiculous to ask. He was like how do you think I felt kissing someone as amazing as Monroe. I just remember it was tony giving a sarcastic answer to a goofy question.
I think Tony Curtis definitely had some issues of his own,maybe a little resentment for Never receiving appreciation for his years as a talented actor on film that he felt deserved....
I'm obsessed with marilyn monroe, beautiful soul ❤ I
thanks for uploading this programme entirely
You need to be as tough as nails for the entertainment industry & Marilyn didn’t stand a chance god love her. She should have stayed well out of it but she didn’t get any guidance growing up. She will never be forgotten.
I don't understand why is it hard for Tony Curtis to believe that Marilyn Monroe is a legend?
Jealous
Because I think he was bitter that she didn’t reciprocate his advances. He had a huge ego, hence the horrific toupee. He looked like a flaming hairdresser.
I love Donald O’Connor. So talented.
Tony Curtis is honest, but quite possibly because of his blunt and black and white nature, so to speak, he didnt know Marilyn as well as others, and with his attitude, it seemed like he was quite capable of having said that about Marilyn, the Hitler quote. Though they all seem like nice people especialy her good friend who defended her passionately and Jane too.
+lewis berrie I think he had something against her, quite possibly he was rejected by her. Fell in love with her and was rejected. There was a time when she was alive that he had a huge, huge crush on her.
+A. Landon That could be true as well. Tony Curtis was a good looking man, but I suppose he mightve not been the well rounded articulate man MM was used to or looking for.
+A. Landon ,hey sidenote- might you know how to download audio interviews of marilyn? love hearing her voice!
The Hitler quote has been misquoted and misused evers since it was uttered by Curtis. He actually did say it but as a joke, when a journalist asked him: "How does it feel to kiss Marilyn Monroe?" Because the question was so stupid, Curtis allegedly replied ironically: "How do you think it feels? Like kissing Hitler?" Take the question-mark away and the never mentioned fact that is was said ironically and you get a quote ... with a totally different meaning!
+Simon Templar That actually makes sense.
george barris is the most caring of marilyn
Tony Curtis is an egomaniac bully.
Nice to see and watch.
Tony so angry and bitter…. Jealous of Monroe superstar quality that he can’t seem to understand cause it comes from inner talent and not manufactured one like him… terrible man‼️ WONDERFUL MM
Yeah it's obvious that she rejected him😂😂
Dear beautiful wonderful Marilyn is definitly in Heaven with Joy with Jesus Christ!C
tony was a slleep around
Ahhh......Tony Curtis always spinning yarns.
“What did she have to not be happy” she legit grew up in the foster care system where one of her foster brothers raped her and was so bad she married 16 just to avoid another 2 years in the system. Her grandmother tried to smother her with a pillow as a baby and both her grandmother and mother had mental health issues to the point they couldn’t care for her hence the foster system. She called one of them mama and one of the foster mothers told her as a little girl “I’m not your mama”. Fame and fortune doesn’t take away the pain hurt and trauma like that. Also Joe Dimagio beat her after the famous skirt blowing scene that led to a divorce. The Kennedy brothers claimed they’d leave their wives for her but lied every time. She went through a lot of stuff. I really wish she would’ve lived to be in this video of what would’ve been her 75th Birthday I will be 29 in June yet I know 36 is way to young to die. She was extremely talented and very mistreated by people especially while she was alive. Her work will live on forever.
Don't forget --- Marilyn was planning to call a press conference that Monday and spill everything on her affairs with the Kennedy brothers.
When will this Kennedy stuff ever die? Yes, she maybe slept with JFK - but so did numerous women. Why do people assume that Marilyn fell in love with him or that he ever shared any crucial information with her? Ridiculous! They had sex and moved on.
dont forget what? this is so stupid. you're quoting a freaking fat sweaty stalker named robert slatzer who also said marilyn married him in 1952 and who none of her friends knew of. marilyn didnt talk to the press about any of her relationships. pick up an actual good book ffs.
I love Jane Russell her and Marilyn were iconic together in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and wish they would’ve been in more movies together their onscreen chemistry as best friends was so good. May both beauties RIP. Wish Marilyn Monroe was there to thank Jane Russell and to put Tony Curtis in his place for his disrespect.
MM was truly beautiful.
WASN'T SHE A GODDESS ? RIP GODDESS
She's so acutee...
I grew up w/ MM as a child. Is as said, in death like ELVIS AND MARILYN, their legacy becomes huge. As a mature woman, I only wish that MM had the things she needed to 'come more into her own' despite her commediene way and intelligence. She really had it in her, to do on and off cam. 36 is too friggin' young to ck out. I think in the early 50's, 60's they prescribed drugs stronger and less refined w/o question, for stars or anyone. Many have been taken off the market today. Whether she was murdered is still very very suspect in my mind, given the circumstances, and her instability and delusionary thinking about very powerful men, older men, she deemed may love her, and she was constantly craving, seeking, and only the camera and really great men, seemed to satiate her broken wings of childhood. I think she'd be better today born later, or if things weren't so controlled under studio contracts and the whims of those times. Actors can refuse parts today .. seems like just yesterday, when she died, even if I was so very very young. Ne'r forgotten.. we need to remember her very essence, heart and short lived little life, and her soul. RIP baby girl..
Dorie McKay I so agree with you. Back them. the kind of help that Marilyn needed did not exist back then. Even now it is still in its infancy, and unavailable to probably most who need it, The very fact that so many resonate with her, says to me that her inner struggles are carried by many. The "help" that she was getting was only harming her more. The man (I don.t remember who) described it well: others with their own individual motivations. just "wanted to keep her comfortable", so whatever they wanted accomplished could be. That psychiatrist of hers was a charlatan, absolutely unprofessional - the way he took her into his family, hired her "keeper" to have 24/7 control over her, was awful. He was never about her "coming into her own", as you described it; I think he was more about being her psychiatrist, and keeping her dependent on him.
And it might not have been any different today....thinking of Michael Jackson as an example.
The fact that she did as well as she did in the environment she lived in, with the huge disadvantage of her childhood (a critical factor in our ability to cope with life), is a testament to her strength, courage, and perseverance that she was able to find on her own.
I cry 4 Norma
From 16:45 to 18:10 LMAO!!! I'm Dying!!!!!
i dont believe Arthur ever loved her,maybe infatuated...
akAsha6E6D Miller didn't love Marilyn, he was in lust with her and the persona. He viewed her as a kind of prize. He actually mocked her and made her out to be stupid to his friends.
But just like everything in Marilyn's life, she tried so hard to make it work and was influenced by Arthur's political beliefs.
Miller was a large contributing factor to Marilyn's own deep seated feeling of not being able to reach a state of true contentment and happiness.
Millers influence on Marilyn's life was a negative one, a fact I shall never forget, nor forgive.
Tim Richmond he didnt understand the diva aspect nor her disturbed childhood. Hence why Tony Curtis was so annoyed because he had a sad childhood too
Miller didn't understand much about Marilyn other than treating her as a trophy. Miller was a heartless and thickheaded Leftist. Suffice to say I don't like him at all....
I actually blame him for what subsequently happened to Marilyn in the years after their split and the sad accident that was her death.
Tony Curtis was right about some of the things he said... but Soooo wrong about other things he said. He never was a Lover to Marilyn btw... but Marilyn had a habit of not making it clear that there was no chance. It was easy for men to think that something was there between them, when there was not...
There are not many that can see through the persona and look upon the person... the human inside... not unless she wanted you to... and when she presented herself as herself... there were not many that would recognize her either....
I miss her with all my heart and I always will until my last breath....
@@timrichmond5226 Actually I believe Miller loved MM but had a very hard time accepting her rejection when it was all over. Maybe his ego was bigger than hers. He was a writer and I think he expressed the truth but it is hard for the public to accept anything bad about MM who was sincerely loved by many.
@@TheLaurajlee she left him, or he left her?
WONDERFUL DONALD ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Such a GENTLEMAN
Miss you Marilyn Monroe 🪦 ❤❤❤❤ 44:41
Curtis is disgrace. Shame on him
The reason Marilyn Monroe is the icon she is now, after 50 years of her death it is because or fer charming.
She had the ability to be sweet, innocent and sensual. Also could play dramatic characters as well.
The only issue here is that she was hunted by the ghost of her looks (dont get me wrong, she was as beautiful as talented, but we cannot denied that a person independently if we talk about a woman or a man, will loose credibility because of his/her looks. They won't be appreciated more than a pretty face).
If she was surrendered by the correct people she would've been a total different legend.
But we can be sure she was a great actress since the few projects she was in became instantly classics.
Tony Curtis could have been such a classy star.
Tony seems somewhat Narcissist
I love Marilyn Monroe 🥰💙🤤
Well then why didnt jane russell invite her to the beach house then??? Jane was very real and sincere and could have been her big sister. What a missed opportunity. Marilyn was and is the only celebrity loved by both men and women alike. She didnt commit suicide. She was killed.
Maybe she didn’t want John F. Kennedy. Peter Lawford looked way better and was more masculine and a bit like her ex the baseball player. I mean why else should she have called a married man elsewise.
Is Tony Curtis bisexual? I get vibes that he isn’t completely straight.
That old screamer, Tony Curtis, definitely had problems. He pretty much projected everything he'd done and was embarrassed about onto Marilyn, which is the reason he was so hostile. He had stated in a few different interviews some years ago, something to the effect of, "I liked everybody. I didn't discriminate, if you know what I mean." He was on his knees, not Marilyn. His pitiful attempt to blame shift his perversions on Marilyn failed.
Steven Marilyn Monroe also slept with directors and movies stars too. She wasn't innocent. As much as I love her, come on she slept with all the top male actors and they used her, and left her and didn't give a shit about her, and she was only used by them for sex. Tony Curtis also had a sexual affair with Marilyn when they were younger. So he knows way more then us. Just because he bisexual and he said liked men and women didn't mean he was a pervert. just because he liked both sexes, Marilyn monroe was also was promiscuous. Every actor back then like Elvis and frank Sinatra banged every women they saw and slept around also, behide there wives back, so meny actors fucked every One....so don't just single out the iconic legendary Tony Curtis out because he didn't discriminate and loved men and women. Back then alot stars got on there knees for movies back then. But Tony has legitimate talent, and he was a extraordinary actor and iconic movie star. He definitely wasn't embarrassed, he has said I enjoyed it and had fun, and did it and experimented, and liked those fellas, but he liked WOMEN more and began dating women, he just couldn't stay faithful and he loved women to much, why the fuck would he care, she was a well known for being difficult to work with and he isn't the only actor and actress who has said that. You dont even know what that man went through in life to get to Hollywood...I recommend You watch his most revealing interview called "shrink " ruclips.net/video/x-3U8x-hGZc/видео.html
Why spew that garbage about Marilyn supposedly 'dropping to her knees' on a show that's expressly dedicated to honoring Monroe's 75th birthday? It's nasty and uncalled for, and it does nothing to move the occasion and interview in a positive direction. And if you believe Curtis had a sexual affair with Marilyn, you'll believe anything. Tony Curtis said it, so it must be true...right? He fabricated that story years later to save his reputation and ego. (Why not? She isn't around to deny it or defend herself) The harsh criticism he received after his 'hitler' comment followed him for years, and he was tired of the flack. So he fashioned a story about a relationship with Marilyn to mitigate that 'hitler' comment and, in his mind, make his remark permissible. And what do you know?.............He and Marilyn were suddenly sex partners. I suggest you watch several of his different interviews over the years and also read his printed interviews so that you can see how duplicitous he was and the ways in which he engineered his own truth.
Steven as a gay man I was more offended by your reference to him being perverted because he was with men....okay he mite of been sexually frustrated and confused and didn't accept his sexuality or he mite of been bisexual...but I'm gay and I was concerned because old relic conservatives used that word perverts as a anti-gay slur against us back in the day. He was young and he was more attracted to women, but he was with men in his youth...so that make him a pervert. He wasn't the only actor and actress to sleep around then and get on there knees for jobs, it was prevalent back then, A lot of actors like Elvis and Frank Sinatra and errol Flynn has sex with every women and had sex parties and orgies...they slept behide there wives back. I agree he was being very disrespectful during this interview and shouldn't be saying that during her 75th birthday celebration. But I thought you said he was pervert for being with men in his younger years, like if that's bad. He is a pervert in the way he talked about women and when he talked about his sexual conquest with women and said alot of nasty stuff about women, that he was perverted for....but being young in his early 20s he was having fun before fame. That's all I meant to say....But everyone was sexually active then, because you had perverted Hollywood producer's and agents, hollywood moguls who would only give aspiring actresses role for sexual favors back then. But Tony is a great actor and legend...mybe he had a affair with her, or Mybe he didn't who cares...he wasn't innocent. But he was being a nasty jerk in this particular interview.
Tonys wig nearly fell off with all his bluster!
Joe Di Maggio was a bully...I had the displeasure of riding in an elevator with him in New York. Pompous, nasty man.
Really? How did you get that impression? Did he say anything to you?
Im still here. I still want to hear an answer? :)
@@robinhood6948 not difficult the answer, he was the tipical italian, I'm Italian too, they are jealous, self-centered, all bragging and jostling anybody around. Though not all italians are like that.
Tony Curtis is so obnoxious in this interview.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cool
Tony Curtis is giving off vibes that he hit on her and she turned him down so even in death he’s gonna talk shit about her she was dead turning 39 years that August when this was filmed and still couldn’t help himself. Idk how he’s Jamie Lee Curtis father she is so nice and he is so rude and crass. Loved Jamie Lee Curtis growing up in Freaky Friday with teen star Lindsay Lohan and Christmas With The Kranks with Tim Allen. Idk why guys hit on girls then tear them to shreds if she doesn’t take his advances especially when said girl has been dead for almost 40 years by that point she was born in June and died in August so 1 year and 2 months after this filmed was 40 years of her death. Funny he didn’t shame the Kennedy brothers who were married yet still hoein around JFK having at least 12 other women besides Jackie his wife and Marilyn most of whom were foreign prostitutes but he’s a guy so it’s a ok.
Oh yes. She's still huge and like every other man that's been rejected he has an issue and he of course he's going to make a huge deal out of it but never admit to it.😂
Traducir en español por favor no se entiende un saludo
1955, some like it hot?????? he got that wrong
1959. I noticed that too. oh, well, an honest mistake.
I only have my opinion since I was a kid in her movie times and I never knew her , lol. I think she wanted love 💗 , she wanted marriage to an important rich man and or whom she could have a baby with !! She was forced to have a abortion and she lost her other pregnancies 🥺 !
Tony musta been rejected by Marilyn 😂
Maybe I was wrong, because Tony had just said that they were also lovers.. Idk if I believe that though, I dont know
He writes about it in his bio, they met when they first started in Hollywood. He talks about her sleeping around but he slept with every single starlet on every movie he worked on. He had like multiple divorces, women in every country.
His claim that he never said kissing her was kissing Hitler but he did and he himself says it in a few other videos plus it was said in front of Susan Strasberg and Jack Lemmon in dailies.
Also their lives kind of track with each other, I read a few bios, he was in an orphanage in NY and she was in one in LA. His parents were just as bad as her mom. Sorry this is long. I wanted to provide context. He was kinda of a jerk.
I really like his acting but man a nasty guy.
The studios had their way those actors.
Also he says she vulnerable one sec and not vulnerable the next. She was run by the studios
😊llliiii😊llli😊😊ü
Bonjour en français svp
Did you know Lawford finally fessed up right before his death?!
***** ridiculous people.
+roxxylala26 He confessed to participating in the cover up of Marilyn's murder. Jay Margolis has a book out detailing her murder.
It's a free for all now about Marilyn's murder/suicide, we'll never know.
"fine AND gentle man" ahah well Tony would know.
Larry king is a Mutha Fucka and Tony Curtis is being sneaky disingenuous, I hate when people do that SMH
Hollywood and their "signs"... full of astrology 🤣🤣🤣
Jane Russell was all class. Tony Curtis acted like an ass. Mickey Rooney giving Norma Jean the name Marilyn Monroe is a complete and total lie.
💧
Lol smh who paid u
Tony Curtis sounds plausible. Her husbands divorced her because she couldn't stay faithful. She was incredibly SELFISH.
Tony Curtis was a POS but ok.. what a selfish woman marilyn was.. she only risked her career and put all her money behind arthur miller when he was accused of being a commie. too bad she didn't stay with Joe Dimaggio and let him beat the dog s--t out of her some more, i mean what a incredibly selfish B*ITCH. Marilyn is such a great way of getting all the red flags out of people like you.
Coming from Tony, that's the pot calling the kettle black.
