After spending much of her childhood in foster homes, Monroe began a career as a model, which led to a film contract in 1947. Her early roles were minor, but her performances in The Asphalt Jungle and All About Eve (both 1950) were well received. She was praised for her comedic ability in such films as Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, How to Marry a Millionaire and The Seven Year Itch, and became one of Hollywood's most popular and glamorous performers.
The typecasting of Monroe's "dumb blonde" persona limited her career prospects, so she broadened her range. She studied at the Actors Studio and formed Marilyn Monroe Productions. Her dramatic performance in William Inge's Bus Stop was hailed by critics, and she won a Golden Globe Award for her performance in Some Like it Hot.
The final years of Monroe's life were marked by illness, personal problems, and a reputation for being unreliable and difficult to work with. The circumstances of her death, from an overdose of barbiturates, have been the subject of conjecture. Though officially classified as a "probable suicide", the possibility of an accidental overdose has not been ruled out, while conspiracy theorists argue that she was murdered.
In 1999, Monroe was ranked as the sixth greatest female star of all time by the American Film Institute.
Marilyn's personal life started at a young age at age of 16 when she firstly married James Dougherty on August 5, 1942 in Brentwood, California.
She divorced Dougherty on May 19, 1946.
After Monroe made How To Marry A Millionaire (1953) in 1953. She met Joe DiMaggio on December 30, 1954 at nightclub in Vegas. They married on January 14, 1954 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
She alleged that DiMaggio raped her on her wedding night. They divorced on August 4, 1954 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Monroe married Arthur Miller on June 4, 1956 in Phoenix, Nevada. They moved to Brentwood, California in early August 1956.
The couple divorced on November 12, 1961 in Los Angeles, California. She was found dead at her home in Brentwood, California after a barbiturate (sleeping pill) overdose on August 5, 1962 when she was age 36.
Lazy
Marilyn Monroe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Here we go!)
No sorry,not tonight
(That was quick!).
Shhh! Yes?
(Jim? Jack? Jeffrey?)
No,it's just that I'm languid.
Physically I'm in pretty good shape
(brother,you could say that again!)
It's my attitude that's passive,
You know you're the only one I love
(That's all, he's hooked).
Bye now
(Bye now)
Hello
(Where are we again?)
No sorry,not tonight
(She's languid).
Shhh! Quiet!
(Bill, Bobby, Bruce?)
No,it's just that I'm supine
(That's avoided-I know).
Physically I'm in pretty good shape
(See? she did say it again).
But mentally I'm comatose
(Quick boy, the dictionary!)
You know you're the only one I love!
(New fish, same hook)
Bye now
(Bye now).
(She won't get up,she won't go out, baby! what's it all about?
Why,why,why,why,why?!)
Well,in simple english I'm lazy,I want to be lazy,
I long to be out in the sun, with no work to be done.
Under that awning they call the sky,
Stretching and yawning, and let the world go drifting by,
I wouldn't peep through the deep tangled wildwood,counting sheep,
'Til I sleep like a child would,
With a great big valise full of books to read, where it's peaceful.
While I'm killin' time, being lazy.
Wrong number,wrong number..
Oh Sam,you're sweet!
With a great big valise full of books to read,where it's peaceful.
While I'm killin' time, being lazy!
The song "Lazy" by Marilyn Monroe is a playful and cheeky tune that talks about the desire to be lazy and not do any work. The song opens with a dialogue between Monroe and a potential suitor. They ask if she wants to go out but she politely declines, stating that she is feeling languid and supine. Both of these words suggest a lazy and lethargic state of mind. She is physically fit but mentally, she is comatose. She then declares her love for this person and the conversation ends.
In the next verse, Monroe sings about her desire to be lazy. She wants to be out in the sun with nothing to do. She wants to stretch and yawn under the sky's awning and watch the world go by. She doesn't want to count sheep or read books. She simply wants to be lazy and rest. The song ends with a wrong number and Monroe declaring that she will spend her time being lazy.

*Drica Dri Andrade*
White piano
Blonde doll
With a child's voice, almost inaudible
Choked baby, rejected child
Sensual walk, lustful look, sensitive look
Apprehensible heart
Between champagne and caviar, what's left?
Why can't anyone love me?
Norma Jeane, invisible girl
Rejected and abused, used and despised
Marilyn, diva, princess, Hollywood queen
The red carpet stretches for you to shine
But there is no soul there, who will notice?
The night is the enemy, and always leaves alone with the stars
Your pills and sleeping pills, friends
You don't need to go to them during the day
Panic, fear of going crazy, what should I fear?
Before leaving
I wanted to be loved and respected
Who will understand my loneliness?
Los Angeles was too boring for you
That's why you abandoned ...
Her geisha-like steps did not delay her death
So slow ... that cinema immortalized
On the sidewalk your star was
Woman look, child laughs
I wanted a white house
Maybe, in Heaven I got the house I dreamed of
The white house as the cloud
The piano now packs your infinite sleep
The dream of being loved and not being ignored.

It’s crazy how the two dancers are doing all these dance moves and jumping around the place, but you still can’t take your eyes off Marilyn the whole time. She really is magic.
power driller
That happens to you, and to the millions of brainwashed zombies trapped by fame and hype, but for me is different. My eyes go to Mitzy Gaynor, the dancing girl, much better body than Monroe, better singer and better dancer too. The big ribbon Marilyn is wearing is to hide her waist not as aesthetic as Mitzy´s.
Melis Andre
@power driller "brainwashed zombies," "much better body than monroe." could you please be a little bit more degrading? ew.
JD Johnson
@power driller Different bodies. But if Monroe and Gaynor both walked into the room at the same time, nobody would have seen Gaynor. She did not have a 1/4 of the charisma and electricity that Monroe could generate.
power driller
@JD Johnson :: Both in bikini and watching them from behind , 100% of real men eyes would go to Mitzy. And even watching them frontally, there are quite of guys who will get caught by Mitzy; the ones that resist manipulation, the ones who know what to look for. -- Also, just watching the legs , Mitzy wins landslide. Naked and no makeup, Mitzy wins by a mile. Electriciy?? Haha! I carry my own batteries, for not getting overloaded by hype and fuzz.
Ruben Proost
Oh, I've actually been looking at them and they are almost equally great in heir own ways. Great characters.
Dante Bentura
Marilyn Monroe is a woman of both genius and grace. She was more than just a comedian/singer. She wrote poems and wanted to extend her career into serious films. But yet Hollywood was always on her toes. Even though she passed away so many years ago, it feels like she's been around longer than any other person from today's world. I think Marilyn Monroe's Biopic needs a remake and by a major studio such as Fox or MGM. We miss you dahling and we love you Marilyn Monroe. 💋🎶🎭🕺🏻😘

But she had so many husband's and was an exotic dancer....
CiCi Melendez
@Pxronas I personally dont think that should take away from the fact that she was talented. I certainly dont approve of her lifestyle but she really should have been taken more seriously as an actress. It's her personal life that made people not want to give her a better shot at serious films because they saw her as an object of sex and a dumb blonde. And this was despite the fact that there were plenty of actors doing the same things as her or even worse and they got far more serious movie roles. Just my thoughts though.

Not having the love and acceptance as a child destroyed her
