The entertainment industry stole Marilyn Monroe's life, and has refused to let her die.
There always were and always will be more beautiful women than Marilyn Monroe. That poor, sad soul turned herself into a living fantasy for immature men; she sculpted her life into soft curves, soft answers, soft everything. She was a soothing, nonperson entity upon which men could project all of their dominating self-images. Nobody can live like that, which she proved.
It seems to me that the entertainment industry is owned and operated by old men who refuse to leave the past where it is, who insist on putting a wall of mirrors all the way around the world and turning everything into a geriatric carnival funhouse where they can forget that they are old and that women are human beings.
