All of the above, and her talent, too. There were definitely better actors, but she could act.
She led a tough life and seemed to have succeeded. She was climbing high, but could not take the thin air. Then she died tragically under suspicious circumstances. I follow the principal of Occam's Razor. Suicide was certainly not ruled out and was certainly conceivable, so the simplest plausible reason is the most likely.
The best diplomat I know is a fully charged phaser bank. -

Roger Ebert hit the nail on the head describing this scene:
Consider her solo of "I Wanna Be Loved by You." The situation is as basic as it can be: a pretty girl standing in front of an orchestra and singing a song. Monroe and Wilder turn it into one of the most mesmerizing and blatantly sexual scenes in the movies. She wears that clinging, see-through dress, gauze covering the upper slopes of her breasts, the neckline scooping to a censor's eyebrow north of trouble. Wilder places her in the center of a round spotlight that does not simply illuminate her from the waist up, as an ordinary spotlight would, but toys with her like a surrogate neckline, dipping and clinging as Monroe moves her body higher and lower in the light with teasing precision. It is a striptease in which nudity would have been superfluous. All the time she seems unaware of the effect, singing the song innocently, as if she thinks it's the literal truth. To experience that scene is to understand why no other actor, male or female, has more sexual chemistry with the camera than Monroe. -

It's hard to describe, what made Marilyn so special. But there is a easy way to find out. Watch amovie with Marilyn, best "Some like it hot" and with this fresh picture in your head watch "One week with Marilyn" with Michelle Williams.
Yes, Michelle Williams is posing like her, maybe you can say she is doing this posing very well. But with the fresh picture of Marilyn you will see, that Michelle Williams is not Marilyn Monroe. And Michelle is so far away from being Marilyn as it is possible. It makes it hard to watch the entire movie, because you see in every single scene: THIS IS NOT MARILYN !!
But in that difference I learned much about Marilyn and why she was, who she was. She had a way to act with the camera and to behave in front of the camera, I know today, I have never seen in that way before. I begin to see it, because Michelle cannot redo this, not even in small parts. I understand the myth about her know a lot more better.

She was one of a kind. I actually just saw Some Like it Hot for the first time yesterday and I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
At a Christmas party tonight, someone mentioned that they are remaking the film. Good luck finding someone to play Sugar Kane that will be anywhere near as memorable as MM did.
