Crazy About Marilyn Monroe!

My favorite celebrity ever is Miss Marilyn Monroe.  I did a research paper on her life and death in high school, and I've been fascinated by her ever since.  She was a paradox of characteristics wrapped up in one of the most beautiful packages Hollywood has ever seen ~ a bonafide sex symbol on the outside, but childlike in many ways on the inside; a woman who inspired a thousand crushes but could never find someone to really love her; a girl positively surrounded by people all the time, yet alone most of the time.  Her story is amazing, tragic, inspiring and cautionary all at once, and her pictures are stunning to look at {I've mentioned how much I like pinup girl fashions; Marilyn is the poster girl for the pinup era!}

One of two upcoming Marilyn biopics, the critically acclaimed My Week With Marilyn, hits theaters today {click here to check out the official movie page}.  In conjunction with the movie release, People Magazine put together a slideshow of Marilyn playing with four-legged friends over the years on their People Pets page.  Here's a sneak peak...
