"It scares me.  All those people I don't know, sometimes they're so emotional.  I mean if they love you that much without knowing you, they can also hate you the same way."  

 Marilyn Monroe, from Norman Rosten's Marilyn: An Untold Story

 

 This now classic image shows Marilyn preparing for the premiere of Tennessee's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at the Morosco Theatre in New York City in March of 1955.  On Marilyn's thirty fourth birthday, Rupert Allen hosted a dinner party in her honor at his home in Seabright Place.  Marilyn spent most of the evening with Tennessee and his mother Edwina, discussing American drama.
