Marilyn Monroe- Rare Radio Interview 1955

Norma Jeane Mortenson (later, Marilyn Monroe) worked at the Radio Plane Company in Van Nuys, California, but she was soon discovered by photographers. She enrolled in a three-month modelling course, and in 1946, aware of her considerable charm and the potential it had for a career in films, Marilyn obtained a divorce from Dougherty.

Marilyn Monroe, in her radio interview, talks about her personal opinions on the world’s views about blondes being dumb. “You know it’s interesting that people associate if you happen to have blonde hair, naturally or not naturally, however, or you’re not in shape in some way, then you’re absolutely dumb and you’re considered dumb. I don’t know why that is. It’s a very limited view. I mean, it doesn’t matter what a person looks like, what color hair they have or if they happen not to be out of shape. My point is that, gravity catches all of us.”

Brooklyn was her favourite in the world and she planned on retiring to Brooklyn; she explained the reason why- "I just like walking around. I think the view is better from Brooklyn—you can look back over and see Manhattan. That's the best view, but it isn't only the view. It's the people, and the streets...and the atmosphere, I just like it."

For all the years that she was alive, she was objectified in one way or the other. In spite of being an amazing person by heart, people used to look at her as a sex symbol.

She was just 36 years old when she died. And now, half a century later, her legend remains alive and well -- and quite lucrative.
