Absolutely measures up to granularity of human emotion. Loved that holding her by the big toe.

Interesting instance of a complex person smudged into the impressionistic simple smear somebody thinks the public wants. Interesting and ugly.

This is a wonderful interview. A real conversation about Marilyn Monroe with no hidden agenda or axes to grind. Thank you. To me her most admirable quality was that her intelligence never failed her. Marilyn knew, I think, deep down, that she was responsible for her life, no matter how difficult it was. While I was listening, I kept wondering what she would have thought of your interview with Charles. I think she would have liked it.
