You should hear her in her normal speaking voice. It was deeper and even more sultrier in my opinion. The baby voice she did for the movies was for the "Marilyn Monroe" effect. And also to sound a lil more ditzy...which she hated cause she was highly intellectual and bright.
Lol! Not her real voice, she faked that voice in many movies because that's what they wanted her character to sound like. Her real voice was deeper not like this.

@THE BADASS i love a women with brains. Me and my wife connect so well because we can converse for hours. We may be young now but sexual drive and body looks fade. But a engaging personality stays and thats what will keep us together in the long run.
@THE BADASS Men don't hate women that are educated, it has to do with the attraction to "exploitability". If a man sees two women that are equally attractive, but one is drunk, he is more likely to go after the drunk one because his chances of success are much higher. Likewise, if a man sees two equally attractive women, but one is playing dumb, he probably thinks that again she's more exploitable and is willing to swing the bat and give it his best shot. A woman that is both attractive and seems very intelligent is like presenting a man with a smooth faced tower to climb to get to her, with no guarantee of reward, most will just avoid the poor risk to reward calculation and pass her over. The reason that women care more about intelligence than men is because a man is primarily just looking for sex, so she just needs to be as young and attractive as possible. Women by contrast can get sex without trying, so they tend to look for resources, and an intelligent man in modern society is much more likely to be a good provider. Even wealthy women today will usually find a man that has less income than herself to be unattractive, and that's not the man's fault, that's just a million years of evolutionary pressure that tells us that eggs are more valuable than sperm and as such a woman should never "date down". And this isn't all a burden to women, as the top 75% of women can easily find a mate leaving only 25% lonely, but with males only the top 25% will get dates with most of the women leaving 75% lonely. Its like that with most mammals, where the females only want the best males, so the peacocks get all the action, but most of the guys get beaten up and wander off bruised and battered and lonely while even the slightly below average females get a turn with the best male.
@THE BADASS The sex is terrible and the babies we can get from a sperm bank. The least they can do is take care of the bills and they shame us for wanting that.

I actually pretty much agree! men want pretty girls and no one says that's wrong., and that's it but in my opinion I don't really think someone can be happy by being rich, you don't need diamonds to be happy or live well. As long as you can get to eat, buy clothes and save money that's alright to me and without love and a good relationship you might have many material things but it won't help anyways .

All very logical. She knows full well its far easier to keep a relationship healthy if they are at least well-off enough to not suffer the stress of financial hardship. And given the time period, her primary mechanism of assuring her financial well-being was going to be through her husband. So while emotions would of course play a big role in it, she was canny enough to realize that it had to be weighed against practical considerations for both their sake.

It means that she loves him for who he is, and money isn’t the sole reason, but its still pretty nice.

Let’s face it she’s not entirely off. Men often look at women’s appearances before their personality. High chance he gave her a second glance because she’s a beautiful girl and wanted to be with her just for that alone at the time. And in her case she saw his financial situation and was attracted to that and sought him out but actually grew to like him as a person because he listened to her and she truly adored him for appreciating her as a woman. You can approach a relationship with shallow expectations and leave on it appreciating the person as they are. And even the daughter line is a good one too cause I’d venture most fathers would prefer their daughters with someone who is good to them. And being financially stable is a good step. She’s admitting they’re both shallow but they also still love each other deeply and that looks and money aren’t the only factor in their relationship being successful but they opened the door.
Maybe she is looking for a rich man to marry - but maybe she's choosing to marry this rich man because she likes him more than any of the other rich men.
@Enrique Olague She asked him for the tiara and when she was accused of stealing it said to ask him because he'd given it to her and would confirm it wasn't stolen and he then denied knowing anything about it and said he'd left for Africa but in fact actually stole the tiara back from her at the club she was working at. He said she could have int, refused to back her up and then stole it from her, that alongside the fact that he was already married might make her resolved not to marry him.

Marilyn, told her potential father in law the truth! Men, want beautiful women; just like Women want rich men! When she asked him, "Would you want your daughter to marry a poor man?" He knew then that; she was no dumb blond! (Class is in recess!) 😅
I mean, she also said she's marrying him because he's interested in her brain, which is true. She did it's not the only reason you get married. She's finding balance, she wants a man that loves not just because of her looks, and he wants a girl that doesn't just love him because of his dad's money. If they were both shallow, she would of married a richer man that didn't care what she thought, and he would of married a dumber but still pretty girl. Like, there's gold digging, but then there's understanding in relationships.
"I can be smart when it's important, but most men don't like it." Evidently MM came up with that on her own and insisted it be used in the film. Might be an apocryphal story, though.
The most iconic and truest thing about this scene is how she pointed out fathers would want the absolute best for their own daughters, and by extent children, but gets annoyed and judgmental when other people’s children go for the same. It is reasonable yet hypocritical at the same time
This was in a time that women couldn't make their own money (or it would be very difficult). Her train of reasoning is completely sound. Prettiness was a currency, just like money. I don't envy women of that time at all.
Women of that time had lasting marriages though. Now a days it’s cheat or be cheated on with how social media has screwed things up. Just my jaded opinion.
@@roa3432 Correction its not just a opinion its a fact that marriage rates are way down. No need for therapy to understand that it's just common sense. I'm sorry I shattered your hopes and dreams of a Disney marriage.
@@Bottlecapy marriage rates are probably down because nowadays women are allowed to leave their cheating or abusing husbands waaay easier than back then, plus today women can leave their husbands and make their own money, didn’t really work like that back then when they were completely financially dependent on their husbands
@@desteny1393 The data shows that women initiate divorce 60 percent of time and 90 percent of the time when a woman is college educated. Women take a mans money through divorce so its incentivized for women to do it. I'm not writing a business contract where my partner gains from breaking that contract. You're saying as if cheating is only done by men when in reality its a very close 50/50. Women like to marry up with someone who is taller, stronger, and makes more money. Thus is why most millionaire women got their money through divorce and or inheritance from their father.
It’s funny because in one of her other movies “how to marry a millionaire” there’s a character who has a daughter and he disinherited her because he’s upset that she married a poor man.
Her tone, facial expressions, gestures toward Gus. Her calling out this old cat on the double standards. The "Daddy" - oml, if I were as intelligent as I am now and somehow living in that era, I would immediately start a stan club for her.
@Marie If I had a daughter or son I would want him to have the most wonderful things in the world if he/she deserves it and someone being rich isn't most wonderful thing in the world and I would want him to earn but not by deceiving his/her way through making a rich man broken. Wonderful thing in the world is having someone that truly love you and stuff and genuine connection that's not conditional or built on these things basically gold digger who doesn't like ppl for who they such shallow women I guess To be very happy is hurting someone for selfish pleasure is sad and immoral Wonderful things in the world isn't materialistic too but I guess if you see money as that you should work for it
Such a soft voice, it yields a passive confidence that feels it is holding back a hurricane. Sounds like she is just waiting for someone to give her reason to unleash her inner storm.
Marilyn Monroe or Norma Jeane used to stutter and a speech therapist told her to speak in more of a whisper because people usually don't stutter when they whisper or sing. This is why she speaks softly in most of her movies, not all, she was trying to calm herself to relieve her former stutter and it worked. She stuttered as a child, again later as a pre-teen, I believe. She speaks about this in one of her interviews and it's written in some of her biographies! ❣
It’s weird how you can cry over someone you never met. I of course never met Marilyn but yet I can cry and miss her, even though I have never met her 😔

This is actually my favorite scene of any Marilyn Monroe movie there is. Truly showed Marilyn Monroes' true side really. She was in real life a pragmatic, logical, intelligent woman despite the roles given to her. It was said she surrounded herself with many books, particularly science books. She was truly ahead of her time, which was why she ended her life too soon. 🥺😔 People ahead of time usually are in so much pain they rather die than continue to live a lie by societys' standards and ways. May she be at peace wherever she is.
@@victorialadybug1 Yes, no on really knows if she was murdered, overdosed or killed herself. I've read several of Marilyn's biographies and I don't think she killed herself either. She either overdosed or was murdered. There is a lot of evidence and things most ppl don't know about her death. I can't explain it all here, there is too much information to go through.
@@Dolandtromm nobody's forcing men to marry women who earn much less or no money, they want a hot trophy wife not a breadwinner wife. if you're so scared of alimony, don't marry someone under your tax bracket, if you do it anyway, don't complain afterwards as if someone held a gun to your head at the altar.
When men see a beautiful woman with a man, they’re like, she only wants him for his money. And I would be like oh yeaahhh… and you’re with her because of her look- nvm personality.
@@sinfulSeif That doesn’t make a difference tho? They r with each other for superficial reasons, so it makes no sense to blame a woman for being with a man for his money.
Why would someone compare they're money to someone looks tho.. that doesn't make sense at all..my money would always look better maybe I'm just selfish when it comes to cash
Very smart way to call out men’s hypocrisy. So many men will say they wouldn’t even give a woman a chance if she doesn’t look pretty but will call women who act the same towards men with money a gold digger in the same breath.
So I am taking a deep Breath. For the new fans or no fans of Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe is an act. The entire persona is an act. Her real name is Norma Jeane Mortenson. She played in movies under her real name earlier in her career. Her hair is not naturally white blonde, but red. The voice she uses as Marilyn is not her real voice either. That is why to me she IS one of the best actresses that ever lived she acted the he** out of Marilyn. To the point that some of you all really believe that Marilyn is who she is. It is one of the many problems she had in her relationships, at home she wanted to Norma but her husbands and boyfriends wanted Marilyn outside of her ex husband or boyfriend Joe the famous baseball player. They broke up because he was jealous. The picture that is so famous of her in the white dress and the wind was blowing the skirt up was the last straw. The documentary says he was jealous but i also think that he did not like the way the world saw her. Plus he was the person that rescued her from the crazy house when the people "closest" to her had her committed because she no longer wanted to be in the public light. She was so good at playing Marilyn that she had no place, just to be herself. Her life story is sad. But this queen will always go down as one of the best underrated actresses to me. God bless stay safe :)
I disagree with you, about who Marilyn "really" was. No argument is or will be ensued by me for your statement. I only state that at least one person, me, disagrees with your assessment of "who" Marilyn was, or even wanted to be. I dissent, but demurely, as I did not know her personally, only watched interviews with her and those she did know, personally.
Watch the Edward R Murrow interview. She has a little of that in her (Marilyn), but it's impossible to turn off the sexy all the way. She's gorgeous in that.
Oh I didn't see your comment! I just commented at the top of the page that this is Marilyn Monroe playing Lorelei Lee in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes! This is not who she was in real life at all, it's a character in a movie! This is why ppl always comment on her being a dumb blonde. Most ppl have seen this movie but they haven't seen Clash by Night, Bus Stop(some have seen Bus Stop), Niagara or Don't Bother to Knock. She was a very talented actress with a wide range of roles. I'm glad I'm not the only one saying this. I'm a big fan of her's!
I wasn't born yet to remember her I remember issues that helped others with their careers like the story of Ella Fitzgerald and about how she got Ella's career started off then there's the story of her and Dorothy Danridge considered the Black Marilyn Monroe they were good friends in a time when racism was an issue she stood up during a time when it wasn't kosher for women to have a voice
Christ her voice is heavenly. 3 decades living in modern times an I absolutely can say this. I never legitimately heard one woman that sounds as heavenly as Monroe.
The one liners in this are hilarious. Today, this banter would be considered too harsh and socially rude and unacceptable. Calling the son a jackass and a partial fool as well as her calling the son “daddy” was as real and in your face comedy as it can get.
Are you serious? That humor is completely fine and even more present and acceptable nowadays then it was back then. Shows like South Park, Family Guy, American Dad are this type of humor times 100.
@@garichar she was saying how she loves her man not for his money but for his fathers money and still making a point of how she loves her man and that shes really smart and not how men (portrayed in the movie) thought pretty girls only had their looks to get them through life.
It’s kinda funny, from all the clips I’ve seen from this movie it seems like they didn’t make her dumb, just blind and a little self conscious with hint of ditz, but all around a very thoughtful character
Marilyn's lines: "I'm not trying to, but I bet I could" "That's too bad, because I do love him." "No! Honestly" "It's true!" "I want to marry him for YOUR money" "Don't you see? That's why he have to have his consent, silly" "No I don't." "Aren't you funny?" "Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You might not marry a girl just because she's pretty but my goodness, doesn't it help? And if you had a daughter! Wouldn't you rather she didn't marry a poor man?" "You'd want her to have the most wonderful things in the world! And to be very happy. Why is it wrong for ME to want those things?" "I can be smart when it's important, but most men don't like it. Except Gus, he's always been interested in my brains!" (She's so smart though- 😍😍)
All Lorelei wants is financial security, nothing wrong with that. If she did just want the money, she'd marry an old rich man knocking on death door's. Like the dad! Hahaha kidding. 😁
@@garichar If your linking Lorelei to Marilyn's sad ending, that's messed up. Lorelei is a character in a movie, Marilyn's a real person who suffered severe depression along with many other things, don't make light of someone's tragedy. Also Lorelei does make her own money, by performing for people on stage.
I hate, absolutely despise that I'm only now seeing this scene for the 1st time today. Marilyn has always been an icon but not once have I seen how much of a queen she was until now. This should be THE scene she was known for. A single 2 minute clip has encouraged me to go back and actually watch her films for once.
She allegedly killed herself after she was fired from her studio for being tardy... Like a lot of times the happy birthday JFK was the boiling point of her studio of firing her

@@lh9591 it would be fair if that's the case but remember that the government are actually against men (example: child support, or rqpe cases) remember, a woman can just say "ughhh nO I GoT RqPe" and the guy is like...2x smaller then the woman but still gets his life ruin. Not just that but the yeaaaaaars, the years!!!

I know you have nothing to do with it but can you understand where I'm coming from?
@@ladennayoung2939 what is the name of the movie ?
Let’s face it she’s not entirely off.
Men often look at women’s appearances before their personality. High chance he gave her a second glance because she’s a beautiful girl and wanted to be with her just for that alone at the time. And in her case she saw his financial situation and was attracted to that and sought him out but actually grew to like him as a person because he listened to her and she truly adored him for appreciating her as a woman. You can approach a relationship with shallow expectations and leave on it appreciating the person as they are.
And even the daughter line is a good one too cause I’d venture most fathers would prefer their daughters with someone who is good to them. And being financially stable is a good step.
She’s admitting they’re both shallow but they also still love each other deeply and that looks and money aren’t the only factor in their relationship being successful but they opened the door.
Maybe she is looking for a rich man to marry - but maybe she's choosing to marry this rich man because she likes him more than any of the other rich men.
They're
@Enrique Olague She asked him for the tiara and when she was accused of stealing it said to ask him because he'd given it to her and would confirm it wasn't stolen and he then denied knowing anything about it and said he'd left for Africa but in fact actually stole the tiara back from her at the club she was working at. He said she could have int, refused to back her up and then stole it from her, that alongside the fact that he was already married might make her resolved not to marry him.
That’s not the point. Money was the first factor. That’s the root of love ? Lol it’s a movie .. these girls will cheat and spend your money doing it haha the divorce will cost extra
@@doritos8306 Thank you. It bugged me so much because this was such a well-articulated point besides the grammatical error undermining it. 😅 I'm so relieved I'm not the only one it bothered.
"I want to marry him for your money"

For such women basic mantra is "whenYour money ends my love will end"

@@Dolandtromm ⚠️⬅️ Incel alert. 🚩🚩
Marilyn, told her potential father in law the truth! Men, want beautiful women; just like Women want rich men! When she asked him, "Would you want your daughter to marry a poor man?" He knew then that; she was no dumb blond! (Class is in recess!) 😅
Cause she’s a Gemini ♊️ that’s why
Agreed
I mean, she also said she's marrying him because he's interested in her brain, which is true. She did it's not the only reason you get married. She's finding balance, she wants a man that loves not just because of her looks, and he wants a girl that doesn't just love him because of his dad's money. If they were both shallow, she would of married a richer man that didn't care what she thought, and he would of married a dumber but still pretty girl.
Like, there's gold digging, but then there's understanding in relationships.
She didn’t write the lines, you know.
@@plumeria66 Fair point. I counter with: her delivery!
‘Young lady, you don’t fool me one bit’

Her delivery was perfect!!!
Lorelie's honesty exposes all kinds of hypocracies in our society.
"I can be smart when it's important, but most men don't like it." Evidently MM came up with that on her own and insisted it be used in the film. Might be an apocryphal story, though.
I mean it might be, but she was all about the image of "woman" and that we are more than just looks, so it wouldn't surprise me
The most iconic and truest thing about this scene is how she pointed out fathers would want the absolute best for their own daughters, and by extent children, but gets annoyed and judgmental when other people’s children go for the same. It is reasonable yet hypocritical at the same time
This was in a time that women couldn't make their own money (or it would be very difficult). Her train of reasoning is completely sound. Prettiness was a currency, just like money. I don't envy women of that time at all.
Women of that time had lasting marriages though. Now a days it’s cheat or be cheated on with how social media has screwed things up. Just my jaded opinion.
@@Bottlecapy seek therapy
@@roa3432 Correction its not just a opinion its a fact that marriage rates are way down. No need for therapy to understand that it's just common sense. I'm sorry I shattered your hopes and dreams of a Disney marriage.
@@Bottlecapy marriage rates are probably down because nowadays women are allowed to leave their cheating or abusing husbands waaay easier than back then, plus today women can leave their husbands and make their own money, didn’t really work like that back then when they were completely financially dependent on their husbands
@@desteny1393 The data shows that women initiate divorce 60 percent of time and 90 percent of the time when a woman is college educated. Women take a mans money through divorce so its incentivized for women to do it. I'm not writing a business contract where my partner gains from breaking that contract. You're saying as if cheating is only done by men when in reality its a very close 50/50. Women like to marry up with someone who is taller, stronger, and makes more money. Thus is why most millionaire women got their money through divorce and or inheritance from their father.
It’s funny because in one of her other movies “how to marry a millionaire” there’s a character who has a daughter and he disinherited her because he’s upset that she married a poor man.
Which movie is this clip from?
@@marylandlisa7800 This one’s called Gentlemen prefer Blondes
Her tone, facial expressions, gestures toward Gus. Her calling out this old cat on the double standards. The "Daddy" - oml, if I were as intelligent as I am now and somehow living in that era, I would immediately start a stan club for her.
Cringy
@Marie If I had a daughter or son I would want him to have the most wonderful things in the world if he/she deserves it and someone being rich isn't most wonderful thing in the world and I would want him to earn but not by deceiving his/her way through making a rich man broken. Wonderful thing in the world is having someone that truly love you and stuff and genuine connection that's not conditional or built on these things basically gold digger who doesn't like ppl for who they such shallow women I guess
To be very happy is hurting someone for selfish pleasure is sad and immoral
Wonderful things in the world isn't materialistic too but I guess if you see money as that you should work for it
I wanna join the stan club.
Such a soft voice, it yields a passive confidence that feels it is holding back a hurricane. Sounds like she is just waiting for someone to give her reason to unleash her inner storm.
Marilyn Monroe or Norma Jeane used to stutter and a speech therapist told her to speak in more of a whisper because people usually don't stutter when they whisper or sing. This is why she speaks softly in most of her movies, not all, she was trying to calm herself to relieve her former stutter and it worked. She stuttered as a child, again later as a pre-teen, I believe. She speaks about this in one of her interviews and it's written in some of her biographies! ❣

@@Dolandtromm oh my god man WILL YOU SHUT UP. women at that time had NO WAY to make money at that time. literally SHUT UP nobody cares.
This is actually my favorite scene of any Marilyn Monroe movie there is. Truly showed Marilyn Monroes' true side really. She was in real life a pragmatic, logical, intelligent woman despite the roles given to her. It was said she surrounded herself with many books, particularly science books. She was truly ahead of her time, which was why she ended her life too soon. 🥺😔 People ahead of time usually are in so much pain they rather die than continue to live a lie by societys' standards and ways. May she be at peace wherever she is.
Bro, she's Lisa from Genshin Impact.
I don't think she ended her life. I think someone else ended it for her.
@@victorialadybug1 Yes, no on really knows if she was murdered, overdosed or killed herself. I've read several of Marilyn's biographies and I don't think she killed herself either. She either overdosed or was murdered. There is a lot of evidence and things most ppl don't know about her death. I can't explain it all here, there is too much information to go through.

@@indhuskitchenandvlogs do they show what Marilyn and the father talk about?
Her voice is so sweet and she herself is so pretty, she's an ICONIC LEGEND
Very smart way to call out men’s hypocrisy. So many men will say they wouldn’t even give a woman a chance if she doesn’t look pretty but will call women who act the same towards men with money a gold digger in the same breath.
Then they’ll say “but muh biology” and not even see the irony lmao.
So I am taking a deep Breath. For the new fans or no fans of Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe is an act. The entire persona is an act. Her real name is Norma Jeane Mortenson. She played in movies under her real name earlier in her career. Her hair is not naturally white blonde, but red. The voice she uses as Marilyn is not her real voice either. That is why to me she IS one of the best actresses that ever lived she acted the he** out of Marilyn. To the point that some of you all really believe that Marilyn is who she is.
It is one of the many problems she had in her relationships, at home she wanted to Norma but her husbands and boyfriends wanted Marilyn outside of her ex husband or boyfriend Joe the famous baseball player. They broke up because he was jealous. The picture that is so famous of her in the white dress and the wind was blowing the skirt up was the last straw. The documentary says he was jealous but i also think that he did not like the way the world saw her. Plus he was the person that rescued her from the crazy house when the people "closest" to her had her committed because she no longer wanted to be in the public light.
She was so good at playing Marilyn that she had no place, just to be herself. Her life story is sad. But this queen will always go down as one of the best underrated actresses to me.
God bless stay safe :)
I disagree with you, about who Marilyn "really" was. No argument is or will be ensued by me for your statement. I only state that at least one person, me, disagrees with your assessment of "who" Marilyn was, or even wanted to be. I dissent, but demurely, as I did not know her personally, only watched interviews with her and those she did know, personally.
Tysm :)
Watch the Edward R Murrow interview. She has a little of that in her (Marilyn), but it's impossible to turn off the sexy all the way. She's gorgeous in that.
Oh I didn't see your comment! I just commented at the top of the page that this is Marilyn Monroe playing Lorelei Lee in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes! This is not who she was in real life at all, it's a character in a movie! This is why ppl always comment on her being a dumb blonde. Most ppl have seen this movie but they haven't seen Clash by Night, Bus Stop(some have seen Bus Stop), Niagara or Don't Bother to Knock. She was a very talented actress with a wide range of roles. I'm glad I'm not the only one saying this. I'm a big fan of her's!
I wasn't born yet to remember her I remember issues that helped others with their careers like the story of Ella Fitzgerald and about how she got Ella's career started off then there's the story of her and Dorothy Danridge considered the Black Marilyn Monroe they were good friends in a time when racism was an issue she stood up during a time when it wasn't kosher for women to have a voice
Her voice is so enchanting 😔💗
Christ her voice is heavenly.
3 decades living in modern times an I absolutely can say this.
I never legitimately heard one woman that sounds as heavenly as Monroe.

Unequivocally, she is perfection.
"You might not marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my goodness doesn't it help?!"

The one liners in this are hilarious. Today, this banter would be considered too harsh and socially rude and unacceptable. Calling the son a jackass and a partial fool as well as her calling the son “daddy” was as real and in your face comedy as it can get.
It absolutely would not haha
Also depends on the tone being used to deliver the message. That can play a huge part in how the message is received.
Are you serious? That humor is completely fine and even more present and acceptable nowadays then it was back then. Shows like South Park, Family Guy, American Dad are this type of humor times 100.
"I want to marry him for YOUR money!"
Such a great line. 🤣

"THERE"
It’s kinda funny, from all the clips I’ve seen from this movie it seems like they didn’t make her dumb, just blind and a little self conscious with hint of ditz, but all around a very thoughtful character
No man, no matter how old or cynical, could resist Marilyn's charms.
I can
In a sense of platonic admiration or in terms of attraction?

Damn, her voice is so beautiful. I'd want to listen to her on an audiobook all day
She is timeless
She's got a point
Marilyn's lines:
"I'm not trying to, but I bet I could"
"That's too bad, because I do love him."
"No! Honestly"
"It's true!"
"I want to marry him for YOUR money"
"Don't you see? That's why he have to have his consent, silly"
"No I don't."
"Aren't you funny?"
"Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You might not marry a girl just because she's pretty but my goodness, doesn't it help? And if you had a daughter! Wouldn't you rather she didn't marry a poor man?"
"You'd want her to have the most wonderful things in the world! And to be very happy. Why is it wrong for ME to want those things?"
"I can be smart when it's important, but most men don't like it. Except Gus, he's always been interested in my brains!"
(She's so smart though- 😍😍)
She was ahead of her time for this I LOVE IT
My parents used to watch this movie with me every year (and many other Marilyn Monroe movies). No wonder I turned out this way
What's the name of the movie
"When you have a daughter, do you want her to marry a poor man".
Very right touch.
All Lorelei wants is financial security, nothing wrong with that. If she did just want the money, she'd marry an old rich man knocking on death door's. Like the dad! Hahaha kidding. 😁
Lorelei needs to create her own wealth. Those men will be wealthy for generations, but she'll only be pretty until she dies of a drug overdose.
@@garichar If your linking Lorelei to Marilyn's sad ending, that's messed up. Lorelei is a character in a movie, Marilyn's a real person who suffered severe depression along with many other things, don't make light of someone's tragedy. Also Lorelei does make her own money, by performing for people on stage.
"I can be smart when it's important, but most man don't like it" 💙
"I am married him for your money" that's hit hard 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I hate, absolutely despise that I'm only now seeing this scene for the 1st time today. Marilyn has always been an icon but not once have I seen how much of a queen she was until now. This should be THE scene she was known for. A single 2 minute clip has encouraged me to go back and actually watch her films for once.
Beauty depreciates with time
Money appreciates with time
Not an equal investment.
Hahahah cold
Her logic always makes sense
Wow, such a masterpiece! Wish we'd treated her nicely back then 😔
She allegedly killed herself after she was fired from her studio for being tardy... Like a lot of times the happy birthday JFK was the boiling point of her studio of firing her
Sounds like a woman who knows how to get what she want through intellect instead of complaining. I'd take that deal.
