[quote=GUEST57643,367843]I pick Audrey by far... her style, grace, elegance. People still want to look like Audrey Hepburn. She was beautiful inside and out. Both had bad childhoods. Hepburn's dad left when she was young and she dealt with problems during WWII, and hence why she developed malnutrition and was always so skinny. Monroe had a broken family as well. She never knew who her father was, and the man that is said to have been her father she denied it. Monroe had to live in several fosters homes because her mom was in a psychiatric ward. She got married in her teens so that she didn't have to go through more foster care - which her aunt encouraged I do believe. Her marriage to Joe DiMaggo seemed to be the only true good one. Joe claimed her body when found dead and sent flowers to her burial site several years after her death. The other ex husbands had no part. She also had several affairs... with Frank Sinatra and the Kennedy's being only a few. She was dependent on drugs, which ultimately caused her death. People say it was a suicide because that was determined by probable cause, though if you really read up on it (search Monroe's death on google) you'll find it could have been an accident by her psychiatrist by prescribing drugs that interacted with each other or it was a murder. However, no one will ever truly know. She also suffered from borderline personality disorder, which is why she had a psychiatrist, several affairs, and many mood swings. Monroe had a very tragic life in general. One bad thing led to another - she never really seemed to make progress due to (probably) her psychological state. Personally, I think she delivers a lot of sex appeal as an icon to Hollywood, but that is was society created of her -- she's not a real role model. Audrey had class - despite her rough times in life she over came them. She didn't let tragedy and tough times drag her down. Then got involved in UNICEF to help the world's children in need. She grew old and wise and became an inspiration both in and out. And because of that, she is truly someone to admire and look up to. Plus, whenever I read a quote by Audrey Hepburn I always feel like I can truly relate to her.[/quote]
