The Influence Of Marilyn Monroe

Decent Essays
Needless to say, Marilyn Monroe was one of the most glamorous women in the world. I have watched many films that she acted. She was so beautiful with the telling eyes, the attractive lips, and the perfect body. I am eager to know whether or not she was as beautiful in real life as she was in films.

Marilyn Monroe was one of the most famous actresses in the twentieth century. Not only known for the beauty, she is also known for her acting skills. She acted naturally, and professionally. If I met her, I would ask her about her acting skills, whether these skills were her instinct or trained skills. She might give me some useful advices to improve my acting skills because I am studying a drama course. Another thing I want to ask her is if she had chance to change, whether she choose to be an actress again or not because it not only made her well-known for her talent, but also for the notoriety.

I am curious to know more about that because I might have some valuable information that nobody knew. Perhaps, after I meet her and talk to her, I might know more about her life, and find out the real reason led to her mystical death.

To tell the truth, although Marilyn Monroe is my favorite movie star I have not known much about her. Therefore, there is no surprising that I would like to meet Marilyn Monroe if I could travel back in time. If I met her, I might know more about her because she was beautiful, famous, and notorious. It would be an inspiring experience to meet
