[quote=GUESTTHE PERSON WHO WROTE THIS,388505][mood11]hmmm... There is just something about MM that I am just not to okeen on. One reason, is that her fame...her icon status is all based on this superficial, almost generic image. There is nothing timeless about her. She has become this sort of kitsch figure. Her movies are woefully dated, I liked them as a child but it was never because I was paying attention to the acting or even looking for substance... It was all eye candy. Besides that, as I have grown-up, I found MM's movies to be mediocre... her acting could be wooden and her speech seemd nervous, she wasn't exactly funny... it wasn't like she had sharp, witty one-liners... I just dunno what is it about her that makes her so popular.Why she is viewed as the main figurehead of old hollywood. There were just so many other great actresses and more REAL beauties. I dunno i'm just ranting. Because someone is more famous does not tell of their importance nor of their talent, or substance as a public figure. With Monroe it is all image. So I would have to choose Hepburn. I find her as a person to be dignified, authentic, classy, noble, and she goes beyond just being an image like MM. She led a life that went beyond hollywood, she had values that went beyond superficial ones like fame. But anyways, I just think it is sad how Hepburn and Monroe , espeacially MM, are always recognized as the best of old hollywood. I think if you watch a clara bow movie, a greta garbo movie, a jean harlow movie, marlene dietrich, vivian leigh, ingrid b, veronica lake...then MM's fame would seem wierd. She doesn't even compare to real actresses like garbo or bette davis. anyways im ranting, i just don't understand why MM is everywhere and no one has a clue today about people like Lilian Gish.sex and a scandal always sell i guess over depth[/quote]
