Norma Jean Dougherty before Marilyn Monroe

Norma Jean Dougherty / Marilyn Monroe

I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes. I am out of control at times and hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.

Norma Jean Dougherty / Marilyn Monroe

Hollywood is a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul.

Norma Jean Dougherty / Marilyn Monroe

Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

Norma Jean Dougherty / Marilyn Monroe

If I’d observed all the rules, I’d never have got anywhere.

Norma Jean Dougherty / Marilyn Monroe

When it comes down to it, I let them think what they want. If they care enough to bother with what I do, then I’m already better than them.

Norma Jean Dougherty / Marilyn Monroe

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they go right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together.

Norma Jean Dougherty / Marilyn Monroe

I have too many fantasies to be a housewife….I guess I am a fantasy.

Norma Jean Dougherty / Marilyn Monroe

I love to do the things the censors won’t pass.

Norma Jean Dougherty / Marilyn Monroe

It’s all make believe, isn’t it?

    Do you have them in color? I have also collected some pics of Marilyn, when she was 19. But there are also very nice.
