There was something democratic about her.She was the type who would join in and wash up the supper dishes even if you didn’t ask her.“ - Carl Sandburg “Marilyn’s need to be desired was so great that she could make love to a camera.

No studio, no person, but the people did.” Happy Birthday, Marilyn Monroe (June 1st, 1926 - August 5, 1962) -- source link
