Happy Birthday to Marilyn Monroe who would have been 87 if she was still with us today. I had a blast watching most of her entire filmography. She still means a lot to so many people to this day because not only for her movies and her beauty, her own life can relate to all of us in so many ways. Her inspirational quotes that you see online, she just wanted people to look at life in a different way. She was a pretty powerful figure and an icon in the entertainment business. She’s more than just a movie star, she’s a part of everyone’s lives. She certainly inspired me, for sure. I love being a Marilyn fan. Love watching her films. Love studying her history and her life.

Everyone wants to look at her as a spoiled rich woman who gets what she wants but it’s not true. She was a troubled woman who was like most of us. She wasn’t perfect even though people mistakenly saw her as perfect. She had her struggles, personal problems like most of us and she was down to earth like most of us. She didn’t want to be looked at as a sex symbol either. She wanted to be an actress and an entertainer. She wanted to put smiles on people’s faces and that’s all she wanted to do.

Thanks for the inspiration and entertainment, Marilyn.
