Two on a Couch

Monroe on Crawford: "I've always admired Miss Crawford for being such a wonderful mother -- for taking four children and giving them a fine home. Who better than I knows what that means to homeless little ones?"

Crawford on Monroe: "She was cheap, an exhibitionist. She was never a professional, and that irritated the hell out of people. But, for God's sake, she needed help. She had all these people on her payroll. Where the hell were they when she needed them? Why in hell did she have to die alone?"

  1. How weird is that? That they both found the same couch and pillow!
    Marilyn as usual is all class, and Joan as usual is the supreme bitch.

  3. What a fabulous, and chilling, juxtaposition of quotes. You hit it out of the ballpark again!

  4. Just read the Vanity Fair cover article about the publication of Marilyn's private journals, poetry and notes. Confimration of a very confused and insecure person. The description of the relationship with Arthur Miller was heartbreaking.

  6. Joan is right, though. Why did Marilyn, idol of millions, have to die alone while still a major star? People took a lot from her and very few gave.

  7. What a telling quote from Crawford. Quite possibly the most compassionate implication is that given the chance, she would have been there for Monroe.
