Thanks to the Kennedys I think a lot of people took a lot of things to the grave, one way or another.

Irma LaDouce! I had forgotten about that! Thank you for reminding me. I must admit that I have only seen that once in my life… as a child.
I agree with you about that scene in The Apartment where Jack looks into the mirror she offers at the office party. He's really into her, and then, in that moment there is such disappointment. A great scene. Great movie!
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

This was such a fun movie! I've only been able to rent it because I can't find it, and when it pops up on TCM, it's not available to buy or I'd definitely buy it. Love it!
Yes, oh
The Apartment
, and that scene. You could feel his heart crushing. But once again, and another example of powerful acting. Something so simple, yet so compelling.

It's one great actor who can convey one emotion at one moment and in an instant, suddenly turn it into something else.
Hey! That's me…. 30 years ago.

Absolutely! So much was conveyed, with a look, a glance, a subtle change in emotion, or dips in the score that weren't so loud and overt that it was overpowering. The incomparable skill of actors beautifully portrayed.

I think people always try to imitate people they admire. That's how the fashion industry works. Look at whatever Kate Middleton wears and suddenly everyone wants to buy it. Or makeup artists who have incredible skill can convince the average Jane Doe to invest in hundreds of dollars in dozens of products thinking they can "replicate" a certain look.
Even Marilyn Monroe was "created" and changed from her original "self" and this new glamour image was developed. Howard Hughes was famous for "discovering" beautiful women, but he essentially recreated them. Jean Harlow turned into the original blonde bombshell.
I personally think that Marilyn is an icon, and we'll never see another woman as unique and beautiful as she was. She exuded sensuality as well as fun and playfulness. She's a template, so women will try and use the same makeup, hair colour and style, clothing,…she was such a mystery because I feel like she was always "on" being this image, and I wonder if she ever got to just relax and be herself without expectations, acting, and being used for her sex appeal.

Damaged? Possibly.
She didn't exactly start out with much of a stable foundation.

I don't know how I could have overlooked The Asphalt Jungle.
She was great in that.
Another earlier one that may not be as great, depending on opinion would be Don't Bother To Knock. I personally liked it. She just about broke your heart in that one.
