OMG yes........Swanson should have gotten the Oscar that year, and not Judy Holliday!! Judy was a great comedian, but no comparison with the real character performance of Swanson's!! oh well......... -SIGH-

She's one of those ladies who need to be 'glammed' up to look good...short hair? GOOD GRIEF she looks like Chris Walken!! - really!! - with her features, she SHOULD NEVER WEAR SHORT HAIR. she needs the softness around her face.......and makeup, for sure. cracks me up how these ladies, who I hear have 'stylists' (tho' maybe not her) and can't tell what they should do with their hair/makeup/clothes for special events......... so, Scarlett, darlin', if you're listening, NO SHORT HAIR FOR YOU wear wigs/pieces if you want, but you are only attractive with softness around your very angular features..............see?

holy cow!!! what a great reply........the 1922 was amazing......but not to be TOO picky, (LOL) I was thinking more of actual cellphones that someone held in their hand, like we use them today.. so if you help further,thanks; if not, thanks for the great 'first reply'!

what I admired most about her was her 'transformation' as you mention......she created the 'dumb blonde' persona & it worked.....most folks thought she was probably like that in real life..HUH? you say, but really, there are many people who cannot separate an actor from their screen 'persona'. I took my mom to see "7 Year Itch" and asked her what she thought of MM....'well', she said, 'Marilyn has a certain warmth and humility about her".......!!!!!!!!!! after MM passed away, my mom asked if I'd said a prayer for Marilyn.....I told her I hadn't...she said, " well, I did and I think you should too!". My mom passed away in 2000...and to this day I get tears in my eyes thinking about the things she said about MM!!! a lady I wrote to online also said something very interesting.......she said, in effect, that MM showed off her body, but then, that was her trademark, so to speak; she showed it off, but she was never racy!!!..........WOW another great comment from a lady fan!!! well, MM'll always have a place in my heart!! read somewhere that she has over 300,000 followers on Facebook!!!!!! so see, Marilyn, we haven't forgotten you!!!!! RIP dear lady!!!

what a shame......I esp. disliked the Gershwin estate destroying "Porgy & Bess'....so they didn't like it" tough! they were still getting their damn royalties from it, right? as for SOTS, I am so infuriated at this stupidity over racism........ok so it was racist; at the time, no one thought of it the way we do now........NO work of art should be censored/destroyed because of current 'thinking'......(using the word lightly!!) If someone's offended by it, so be it..DON'T SEE IT..no one is twisting your damn arm to watch this movie............ I for one would like to see it.......again, if you are offended by what you hear about it, don't see it, but let others, IN A SUPPOSEDLY FREE DEMOCRACY......see it!!!!!
