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.
When Love Goes Wrong
Marilyn Monroe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nothing goes right
This one thing I know
When love goes wrong
A man takes flight
And women get uppity-oh
The sun don't beam
The tide don't ebb and flow
A clock won't strike
A match won't light
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
The blues all gather round you
And day is dark as night
A man ain't fit to live with
And a woman's sorry sight
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes, nothing goes rjght
A woman's a fright, a terrible sight
A man goes out, gets high as a kite
Love is something you just can't fight
You can't fight it, honey
You can't fight it
When love goes wrong, nothin'
No bows, honey, just cigat bars and off
Nothing goes right
Crazy, Crazy oui, oui
lt's like we said
You're better off dead
When love has lost its glow
So take this down in black and white
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
Nothing goes right
In Marilyn Monroe's song "When Love Goes Wrong Nothing Goes Right," she paints a picture of the devastating impact that love can have on both men and women. According to her, love can turn a man into a coward, and a woman into a sorry sight. The song is more of a solemn reflection on love rather than a cheerful love song. Marilyn Monroe's haunting vocals add to the already melancholic theme of the song. She sings about how when love goes wrong, nothing goes right, and this is something that she knows for sure.
The lyrics of the song point out that when love goes wrong, the world seems to lose its luster. The sun doesn't beam, the moon doesn't shine, and the tide doesn't ebb and flow. It's as if the universe stops supporting the relationship. In the second verse, she eerily explains how the blues gather around when love goes wrong, and the day is as dark as night. So, essentially, she's saying that the world turns upside down when love goes wrong. Men and women become unrecognizable versions of their former selves.
Line by Line Meaning
When love goes wrong
When the affectionate bond between people falls apart
Nothing goes right
Things start to go wrong when love ends
This one thing I know
The singer is certain of this fact
A man takes flight
A man tries to run away from his emotions
And women get uppity-oh
Women become irritable and difficult to deal with
The sun don't beam
The sun stops shining as brightly
The moon don't shine
The moon appears less bright and luminous
The tide don't ebb and flow
The rhythm of the tide becomes less predictable and reliable
A clock won't strike
Time seems to stand still and loses its sense of rhythm
A match won't light
Even simple tasks prove difficult to accomplish
The blues all gather round you
Melancholy feelings become overwhelming
And day is dark as night
The world seems devoid of light and joy
A man ain't fit to live with
Men become unbearable and difficult to live with
And a woman's sorry sight
Women become pitiful and unappealing
No bows, honey, just cigar bars and off
No celebrations or festivities, just lonely and depressing bars where people smoke cigars and drink alcohol
Crazy, Crazy oui, oui
An exclamation expressing the craziness of the situation
When love has lost its glow
When love has lost its spark
So take this down in black and white
The singer is emphasizing the importance of this message
Nothing goes right
Everything becomes disordered and challenging when love ends

You're better off dead
When love has lost its glow
So take this down in black and white
When love goes wrong nothing goes right

I wish Marilyn kept more in touch with Jane Russell. She seems like a reasonable woman who cared for Marilyn and could have been a good stablizing influence on Marilyn.
@headphonic8
Marilyn was very competitive with other women, sadly. She’d rather have the attention than the sisterhood.
@yaronkl
@@headphonic8 I disagree.
@ran52475
headphonic8 Totally false, IDK why you decided to make up such trite bs. They got on very well. Jane even got her to come along to one of her Christian meetings, tho Marilyn decided they weren’t right for her. There’s a diva on diva YouTube series that has many of M’s female colleagues, and they all describe her as sweet
@lumiere7216
@@headphonic8 no she didn't. contrary to popular belief she was socially awkward. Jane Russell says that she didn't really know how to deal with other people and have normal relationships. Jane grew up with 4 big brothers and so they were always giving her a hard time (kidding & gave her crap) but if someone did that to Marilyn she didn't know how to react.
So if someone made a smart remark Jane would just say Oh yeah right or quit be such a jerk or she would slug them in the arm but Marilyn would be so offended and just hurt beyond belief and run off to the dressing room or her trailer in tears.

Brussels a hard core right winger Goper...
F her
@sarahholland1375
I love this. I read that Jane used to go & get her to come out from her trailer with a cheery, kind word when she was too paralysed with nerves to come on set alone. Such a kind thing to do.
@iloveglitter149
She said in an interview she would pop her head in her trailer and say " alright cmon Blondie" a simple sentence but calming at the same time like if Jane gave her the impression that she was calm it would calm marylin too 🥰
@lumiere7216
@@iloveglitter149 Yes. Marilyn would be in her trailer or dressing room and just be all up in her head like what if I miss a line or what happens if i mess up a dance step and so she would be late to film because she didn't want to come out of her room out of fear but Jane would just go right in and say come on Blondie it's time to go and Marilyn would snap out of it and be like oh is it that time already ok then and be just fine
@elainelosee7974
@@iloveglitter149 yes, Jane was so thoughtful with Marilyn, so supportive. Understanding is part of all relationships, man, woman, ANY relationship, Period.
