Anyway, I was browsing through my old Quote of the Week posts the other day, and I noticed that some quotes were exponentially more popular than others. Anything about Marilyn Monroe gets a lot of looks, that doesn't surprise me, but Walter Winchell? I'm sharing the five most viewed quotes, because these are all worth another look:

And the most viewed Quote of the Week ever on Classic Movies:
She couldn't get out of her own way....She wasn't disciplined...but she didn't do it viciously, and there was a sort of magic about her which we all recognized at once.
-Barbara Stanwyck, about Marilyn Monroe

I like that "she didn't do it viciously" line. The road to hell may be paved with them, but intentions still matter in my book
ReplyDeleteI think that's what a lot of the people Monroe worked with didn't understand. Or maybe they were too tired of her issues to care? She really does seem like she was too damaged to be intentionally cruel.
