Marilyn's Legacy

Marilyn's screen image was often in contrast to her soulful, introspective personality. Searching for identity, she set on a personal journey for growth, culture, knowledge and love. Part of Marilyn's enduring appeal may be the empathy her pain and life experiences evoke in each of us. She inspires us to project our own subjective interpretations onto her. Marilyn's screen roles actually demonstrate a wide range within typecasting. Her portrayal of the Dumb Blonde elevated the two-dimensional archetype into a textured, satirical parody. Her characterizations were wise, gentle, nuturing and able to engender goodness in others teach lessons and unite opposing forces. The actress walked with poets, intellectuals, authors, politicians, liberals and artists. She was decades ahead of her time and greatly misunderstood during her lifetime. Marilyn was the first public figure to disclose sexual abuse, and the second female movie star to establish her own production company. Ultimately, Marilyn's impact on the world overshadows the contributions of many heads of state in that her extraordinary life is continuously respected and celebrated.
