June 1, 2001 Don't forget to pick up the June issue of Playboy there is a 6 page layout and article on Marilyn.

from Marilyn's unfinished autobiography:

You could buy a sackful of old bread... for twenty five cents. Aunt Grace and I would stand in line for hours waiting to fill our sack. When I looked up at her, she would grin at me and say, "Don't worry, Norma Jeane. You are going to be a beautiful girl when you grow up. I can feel it in my bones".

"Nobody's ever gonna want me now, Lena. What good am I? I can't have kids. I can't cook. I've been divorced three times. Who would want me?" "Millions of men," I answered. "Yeah, but who would love me? Who?" conversation between Marilyn & Lean Pepitone.

"I knew I belonged to the public and to the world, not because I was talented or even beautiful but because I had never belonged to anything or anyone else."

"I'm just mad about men. If only there was someone special."

I daydreamed cheifly about beauty. I dreamed of myself becoming so beautiful that people would turn to look at me when I passed."

"In Hollywood a girl's virtue is much less important than her hairdo. You are judged by how you look, not by what you are. Hollywood's a place where they'll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss, and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer enough and held out for the fifty cents."

"If we learn from the life of Marilyn Monroe, she will live on in us". a quote from the book: Norma Jeane-by: Gloria Steinem
