“Marilyn Monroe and I have two things in common. We’re both blond and we alienated the Italian market.”

Shelley Winters and Marilyn Monroe shared an apartment in the 1940s and 1951. According to Shelley, they also shared a bathing suit for photos and a mink coat for dates. It's also thought that she taught Marilyn to act sexy "by tilting her head back, lowering her eyes, and ever-so-slightly opening her mouth" (Source: http://www.nndb.com/people/859/000022793/)
