My favorite Marilyn Monroe performances are in Niagara, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Some Like It Hot, and How to Marry a Millionaire.

Such a troubled life for a wonderful personality. I read a fabulous essay today published a few weeks after her death by Ayn Rand.

While I did not have the troubled childhood she had, I can empathize with many of Monroe's hurts which Rand clearly articulated.

So on this sad anniversary, let's drink a toast to the goodness of Marilyn - her joy, her acting talent, her intellect, her beauty, and her undying spirit. We miss you!
