Here are a few drawings of Marilyn by me. You may (or perhaps may not) be surprised to know that, these are the first and only recognisable drawing's of anyone that I have ever done! I was always bottom of my art class at school. Perhaps Norman Mailer was right when he said of Marilyn...
"...even the most mediocre musician would relax his lack of art in the dissolving magic of her violin."

"... you're not star material ... you're not photogenic ... you haven't got the sort of looks that make a movie star."
Dore Schary of MGM, when dropping a young starlet named Marilyn Monroe
"Despite Marilyn Monroe's small and yet startling roll [In the Asphalt Jungle] I did not recognize her star potential ... Darryl Zanuck signed Miss Monroe, she became an extraordinary figure in movie history and for years I blushed with embarrassment every time her name was mentioned."
Dore Schary to his biographer
"It is a disease of our profession that we believe a woman with physical appeal has no talent. Marilyn is as near a genius as any actress I ever knew. She is an artist beyond artistry. She is the most completely realised and authentic film actress since Garbo. She has that same unfathomable mysteriousness. She is pure cinema"
Joshua Logan - Director of "Bus Stop"
"Marilyn had the power. She was the wind, that comet shape that Blake draws blowing around a sacred figure. She was the light, and the goddess, and the moon. The space and the dream, the mystery and the danger. But everything else all together, too, including Hollywood, and the girl next door that every guy wants to marry."
Bert Stern - Author of "The Last Sitting"
"In the mythology of Hollywood she is very, very special. No minor goddess of the pantheon, she is the tops, Aphrodite herself."
Janice Anderson - Author of "Marilyn Monroe"
