Some of you may wonder what is up with my obsession with Marilyn Monroe, the legendary actress. You would see me talking a lot about her in my blog and facebook. Well, here’s the deal. My interest in Marilyn grew, since the last time I visited Los Angeles, California. I may have went to a museum in Hollywood which may have grabbed my attention about her. Since then, I just had to learn more about her. I had to watch all of her films, which I did. I pretty much watched her entire filmography, and so far, I think her best films are “Some Like It Hot”, “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” and “The Seven Year Itch”. I even watched all the films, that she had small cameos in.

Her life and career, is just intriguing to me. I just had to learn more about her. Her history, which is inspiring stuff. I also found her quotes inspiring. I guess I’m just researching her…but for what? Possible song idea? Maybe yes, that is part of it. I will probably end up writing a song about her at some point.

The main reason why I had to get into her ’cause if you’re going to be a big movie buff, you’re not a true movie buff if you haven’t watched any Marilyn Monroe movies. All movie buffs need to know who this woman is. Love her or hate her, she has always been an important part of Hollywood. A lot of people want to mistakenly say things like, who cares, she’s dead, move on. True, but you must know your cinema history, if you’re going to be a movie buff.

Don’t worry, though, I plan on studying other important actresses from the past too like Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Marlene Dietrich,  Ava Gardner, etc. If you want to be a true and real movie buff, you have to know the classics that most people today, don’t know about.

Really, I am the biggest movie buff, that you would probably see, and I’m sure you already can tell. If anybody tried to play movie trivia games with me, everyone else would probably lose and I will win all the time.
